New Post: How to get AutoComplete window handle?

gungan37 — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:00:38 GMT

Hi guys!
I have been working on adding a ToolTip next to my autocomplete window like most IDEs do to display help from XML help documents. However, I cannot get the spacing right without being able to get the current width and height of the autocomplete window.

I figure that the autocomplete window is part of the native Scintilla control, so I want to use P/Invoke to get its dimensions to show my ToolTip in the correct place. All I need is the autocomplete window handle but I cannot find it for the life of me anywhere in the ScintillNet source. Does anybody know where I might find it?

New Post: Use of additional list of class names and it's property to highlight

Yes, this is possible by simply setting them as one of the keyword lists.

Currently I am using this fantastic control. This control fulfills our maximum requirements. We are using this control to write a function in “cs” language. In this function we wish to highlight a specific and already existing object "machine" and its properties. I can provide a list of its properties (may be in xml file as keyword list) like following

machine
machine.RegistrationNo
machine.MachineType.Code
machine.MachineType.Weight
......
......
I wonder if is it possible to highlight above list of properties in different color so when end user types it, color will be changed and if not changed then he will come to know that there is typo.

You can't change the line comment symbol of most lexers. Please read previous discussions - there was one not that long ago that regards this exact issue. It is here. In short, the XML attribute LineCommentPrefix doesn't affect how the lexer functions; it only affects the methods in ScintillaNET that work with commenting, not the way Scintilla itself handles highlighting.

I'm trying to create a syntax configuration where the line comment symbol is ! i can't get this to work, no matter what lexer i choose.

New Post: Intellisense for Razor Syntax

ahouse101 — Sun, 05 May 2013 21:14:22 GMT

I assume by Razor you mean the view engine for ASP.NET, where you can use the "@" symbol for ASP code within HTML. I'm not working on the project, but because Razor is really just embedding an already existing language into HTML, I don't think there will be explicit implementation for it, at least not yet. Implementing it would be similar to implementing inline JavaScript highlighting, except that it would be even more complicated, because Razor utilizes implicit block closing, and ScintillaNET would have infer where the ASP code ends and where the HTML begins again, instead of relying on an explicit block ending symbol.

You may could get a custom syntax for razer working (without creating a custom lexer) with html lexer, but I'm not sure about this; since razor it's quite more complex and uses dots, '@', and more.

Do you have any plans to support Razor syntax on ScintillaNET?

New Post: How to define own code folding scopes?

blah38621 — Fri, 03 May 2013 12:38:33 GMT

You could always set the "folding.enabled" property to "0" (if a lexer supports folding, it also supports that property) and do the folding yourself via calls to INativeScintilla.SetFoldLevel(CurrentLine, mFoldDepth | mCurrentLineFlags), which is how I do it for CustomLexer's in the WPF branch.

EDIT:
I just looked at the gap lexer, and it appears I was wrong, not all lexers support the "folding.enabled" property, the gap lexer being one of the ones that doesn't, so Chris is right, you would probably be fighting the lexer every step of the way.

Well I'm still learning WPF and MVVM pattern, but why you need to use MVVM with scintilla? I mean, I'm with a project (with avalondock and scintillanet) and I use MVVM only with avalon. I create a custom view with a scintilla (only from code) and it's display the data as it should, still having trouble to update my main observable collection, (the one that Avalon use to create/delete new documents) with the data each view edit on his custom viewmodel.

ChrisRickard — Wed, 01 May 2013 07:29:27 GMT

In general ahouse101 is correct. In order to get full control over folding you can't use a lexer. You will be constantly fighting it. However some lexers do give you some options to control folding. These are set with lexer properties. What the property names and values are (if they even exist) for the gap lexer I don't know. You probably need to look at the gap lexer's source code in the Scintilla project.

I may be mistaken, but as far as I know, you can't control the folding rules. Folding is determined by the lexer you choose, and you can't change the way it folds. There may be a way to do it if you don't use a built in lexer, but I've never tried, so I wouldn't know which direction to point you.

Hi,
I'm trying use ScintillaNet for a different language. I don't know if its possible and I want to implement my own code folding rules to Scintilla but couldnt figure out how.
For example:

<bmp_begin>
name: Template
file(0-69): sprite\template1\0.bmp  w: 79  h: 79  row: 10  col: 7
file(70-139): sprite\template1\1.bmp  w: 79  h: 79  row: 10  col: 7
walking_frame_rate 3
walking_speed 4.000000
walking_speedz 2.000000
running_frame_rate 3
running_speed 8.000000
running_speedz 1.300000
jump_height -16.299999
jump_distance 8.000000
jump_distancez 3.000000
<bmp_end>

<frame> 0 standing
   pic: 0  state: 0  wait: 3  next: 1  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  centerx: 39  centery: 79  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 21  y: 18  w: 43  h: 62
   bdy_end:
<frame_end>

<frame> 1 standing
   pic: 1  state: 0  wait: 3  next: 2  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  centerx: 38  centery: 79  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
<frame_end>

I have a similar code like this and I want to fold lines between frame and frame_end, bmp_begin and bmp_end, bdy and bdy_end tags. I'm using "gap" LexerName which suits best for the syntax.

Thanks in Advance!..

Maybe remind you english is not my first language...

New Post: Custom Syntax problems

blah38621 — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:41:44 GMT

This is caused by the fact that the /* stream comment is handled at the lexer level, the CommentPrefix attributes in the xml are there to enable support for commenting out lines or blocks via hotkeys. The only way to not have / */ as a stream comment would be to either use a different lexer, or else create your own.

Unfortunately, I really don't know enough about WPF to be able to answer that. I do however use AvalonDock in the WPF version of SCide, however I use it as you would with WinForms, creating a new control for the dock content, which isn't how it generally is done in WPF.

Yep, that you can. The support for custom lexers is to enable you to use your own lexer if none of the built-in ones work for what you need.

Don't you worry about the time, we all have a life and things to do. And about the custom lexers: Aren't they like normal branch? I mean, I can create a new language but use an existing lexer to avoid creating my own?

New Post: Visual Studio 2012, release CPU target

Tombala — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:34:44 GMT

Just thought I would share a problem I had recently and my solution. I don't know if it applies to current version of ScintillaNET since I have an older version. But here it is.

I had moved a project to VS 2012. It was an old project that I decided to work on again. I noticed that my Scintilla control was not highlighting syntax anymore. I was going crazy looking at designer settings, debugging, etc. I thought I had inadvertently broken it. Then I realized that I was running in Release mode and when I tried to Debug mode latest build executable directly, it actually worked. After ruling out that I hadn't changed anything, I looked at my project's build configurations. Release configuration was set to target "Any CPU" while Debug was set to target "x86". After I changed Release to "x86" Scintilla started highlighting properly once again. So something about the "Any CPU" compilation was causing Scintilla to break.

I hope this saves someone some time and hair-pulling.

I want to ask on WPF branch. Is it suitable to use in MVVM WPF project? Do you know about any example with binding of ScintillaWPF from ViewModel to View?
