Utility method used in scalable UI for choosing the longest fitting text variant. Truncating and wrapping methods in classes AknTextUtils and AknBidiTextUtils do the choice by themselves, so whenever they are used to process the text, it is not necessary to call this method.

Applications do not need to call this method if they pass their localized texts to Avkon's UI components.

Chops a string when a line break character is encountered. Clips at the end of each line if there isn't enough space on that line. When clipping, KEllipsis (shown as 3 dots) is inserted at the end of the line. The number of lines and line widths are specified by aLineWidthArray. The pointers in aChoppedArray point to positions inside aStringToChop.

Expect the string to be modified if clipping is needed (Clipping character KEllipsis is inserted in the end of the lines)

Chops a string when a line break character is encountered. Clips at the end of each line if there isn't enough space on that line. When clipping, KEllipsis (shown as 3 dots) is inserted at the end of the line. Constant line width is given. The pointers in aChoppedArray point to positions inside aStringToChop.

Do not use. This method will be removed.

ClipToFit() Generic clipping

returns true if the text was clipped and 3 dots were added.

ClipToFit() for clipping text inside lists

NOTICE: This method cannot handle situation where the text may dynamically change its size! Especially when you have bitmaps on the right side!

This needs to be done AFTER the listbox has done its SizeChanged()!

This routine is used to convert digits from any digit format to another format eg. from european digits to arabic-indic digits.

Converts a filename ABCDE.EXT to format which is suitable for display. This method is needed for bi-directional language support. The method adds directionality markers to the filename so that the filename can correctly be rendered to screen.

Convenience routine to obtain the directionality of the current input language This routine will attempt to access this information in a system-efficient way.

This is not to be confused with either the directionality of the display text language or (a closely associated concept) the layout direction of the UI (accessed via AknLayoutUtils::LayoutMirrored() )

This routine can be used to check what modes digits can be on.

It uses input language, display language and the setting from general settings to calculate whether foreign digits need to be used.

This is useful for editor implementation and anyone that needs to convert digits for display.

Method used to constrain the digit type to use to that consisted with the current display text language

This routine is used to convert between arabic-indic digits and european digits. based on existing language setting. So it'll convert any digit from the string to use either european digits or arabic-indic digits based on current settings.

This routine builds in the constraints imposed by current display text languages.

The number of characters in the buffer is not changed by this routine. It can therefore be safely used easily with existing (modifiable) descriptors.

This method should only be used just before displaying the number as unicode descriptor. Never store the converted string.

Method used to constrain the digit type to use to that consisted with the current input language

This utility is used to see if a text is empty according to the conventions of Avkon.

This routine is used to convert between arabic-indic digits and european digits. based on existing language setting. So it'll convert any digit from the string to use either european digits or arabic-indic digits based on current settings.

NOTE: THis method can be also called in european release. The method is required to do the correct thing with all the languages.

This method should only be used just before displaying the number as unicode string. Also, never store the converted string as unicode.

Returns the digit type to be used for editors that are purely numeric in quality.

This routine is used to remove extra whitespaces from text before showing on screen

This routine is used to replace all control chars with a single character, usually a whitespace.

KAknReplaceTabs KAknReplaceListControlChars ('s and 's)

This routine is used to strip away a set of characters from a descriptor.

Useful for example for listboxes to make sure strings from network or typed by the end user does not have tab or linefeed characters. (as those will make listbox broken.)

There exists predefined character sets to remove: KAknStripTabs KAknStripListControlChars ('s and 's and 's)

Returns the digit type to be used for editors that are alphanumeric. (Note that these editors may be configurable to be purely numeric - that is have a numeric mode, but they remain alphanumeric editors for the sake of this API.)

This may be useful for instance for input processors that convert numeric key events to the currently set input digit type.

Wraps a string to an array of pointers and clips at the end of the last line if there aren't enough lines to accomodate the entire text. When clipping three dots are inserted at the end of the last line. The number of lines and line widths are specified by aLineWidthArray. The pointers in aWrappedArray point to positions inside aWrappedString.

Expect the string to be modified if clipping is needed. (Clipping character KEllipsis is inserted at the ending point)

Wraps a string to an array of pointers. Constant line width is given. The pointers in aWrappedArray point to positions inside aWrappedString.

Wraps a string (aStringToWrap) into lines according to the number of lines and line widths specified in aLineWidthArray. Inserts '' at the end of lines. Clips the last line if there aren't enough lines to fit the entire string. Copies the result into aWrappedString. Leaves if aWrappedString isn't big enough.
