Now I just need to tweak the highlight style and I should be good! 2018-09-29T04:50:44Z 67a6082c-d0fa-4ec6-89f0-b885179bdf38-115608 Hi Blair, We do this kind of thing in our C# add-on language: // Register a structure matcher this.RegisterStructureMatcher(new StructureMatcher() { CloseCurlyBraceTokenId = CSharpTokenId.Cl... 2018-09-28T19:17:32Z 67a6082c-d0fa-4ec6-89f0-b885179bdf38-115607 Where can I find a good example of hooking up delimiter (bracket) highlighting using the default structure matcher and delimiter highlighting tagger?

Maybe EditActionCommand is a custom class you have? 2018-01-18T22:09:34Z fd7a4664-86f5-4660-b17b-a897804b2817-114617 Hi, I'm adding a button to the toolbar with shortcut key Ctrt+Shift+S.

Unfortunately if the browser grabs them, then Silverlight (and thus our control) never gets them. They would probably work if you ra... 2016-06-01T20:05:38Z 5eab1435-7d46-4707-992a-c756acfe2bbf-112280 Hi there, I've just registered my command to show find/replace dialog on Ctrl+F/Ctrl+H.

It seems like Silverlight is pushing through a null value for SyntaxEditor.Document initially when there is a binding ... 2014-08-13T13:09:24Z d5ba4ce4-a673-42b8-8df2-5091707c5a24-109465 Hi Actipro, Thanks again for your quick response. I'm glad to know that it should work. That said, it's still causing me issues. Here's a small reproducible case. https://www.dropbox.com... 2014-08-13T01:26:01Z d5ba4ce4-a673-42b8-8df2-5091707c5a24-109459 Hi Nathaniel, I tried a quick test and it worked ok for me. It should be supported since the Document property is a dependency property. That being said, be sure you set it to a non-null value ... 2014-08-12T11:42:33Z d5ba4ce4-a673-42b8-8df2-5091707c5a24-109458 I was hoping to be able to bind my SyntaxEditor to a EditorDocument defined in a View Model - e.g. <editor:SyntaxEditor x:Name="Editor" Grid.Column="1" ... 2014-08-11T21:57:03Z 0987cf78-7e25-49cf-8cec-30702de6262f-109168 Hi Clark, It sounds like you are missing an assembly reference in your separate project, such as to our Shared Library for Silverlight. We define a MenuItem control in that. 2014-06-02T13:59:52Z 0987cf78-7e25-49cf-8cec-30702de6262f-109167 When we move to Visual Studio 2013 from VS2010, we are unable to compile the app. The error we get is as follows: Error 3 The type or namespace name 'MenuItem' could not be found (are you missin... 2014-06-02T11:07:33Z 8aaf93c9-d9a9-4b41-be84-04772d3664f4-107423 Thanks for the sample sent to our support address the other day Christel.

Then we can debut it. Mention this thread and ren... 2013-11-15T15:40:18Z a527b08e-4c63-4ce4-b99a-fe820491d549-107076 Hi, I tried this now with the latest build 2013.2 build 161 and the exception still occur. Could you help me with this?

It appears (to me - and I am usually doing something wrong) there ... 2013-10-24T22:30:55Z a527b08e-4c63-4ce4-b99a-fe820491d549-105887 Hi Christel, First can you try this in a newer build and let us know if it still happens? We are on 2013.2 build 161 now and this problem may have been fixed in the past. 2013-10-24T14:57:30Z 69f045e7-04fe-4c8c-94ca-51b644f6de44-105882 Hi Al, I believe you can create a new MacroAction and call ReadFromXml on it to initialize it. Then just pass that to ExecuteEditAction. 2013-10-24T12:24:01Z a527b08e-4c63-4ce4-b99a-fe820491d549-105886 Hi, I changed my application with Syntax Editor from version 2010.2 Build 0105 to version 2012.2 Build 143 No I get an exception calling ITextChange.DeleteText(reader.Token.TextRange), where th... 2013-10-24T06:54:01Z 69f045e7-04fe-4c8c-94ca-51b644f6de44-105881 Can someone please give me an example of how to playback specific recorded macros?

That's probably what you are seeing. The SyntaxEditor.SelectionBackgroundActive... 2013-04-11T07:08:54Z 15eb862e-d88e-4d25-8325-294f50619f6c-103594 Actually the selection after the search looks slightly ligther than the selection highlight. So my next question: How can I change the color of the selection? 2013-04-11T07:02:23Z 15eb862e-d88e-4d25-8325-294f50619f6c-103580 Hi Mark, I believe it just moves the selection to cover the search result text range. There is no specific highlight at this time. 2013-04-11T07:00:22Z 15eb862e-d88e-4d25-8325-294f50619f6c-103578 How can I change the background color of the search result highlight after searching? (using the EditorSearchView) thx 2013-04-10T07:20:21Z 05e18226-e7cd-4475-b214-20d5cdccc51c-103509 Thanks ResultSet.Wrapped was exactly what I needed. 2013-04-02T13:54:14Z 05e18226-e7cd-4475-b214-20d5cdccc51c-103505 Hi Al, There is a SyntaxEditor.ViewSearch event available that passes the result set. You can see how we use that in the SearchFindResults QuickStart. 2013-04-02T10:02:43Z 05e18226-e7cd-4475-b214-20d5cdccc51c-103503 I only see the SearchResultSet as available when programatically searching (not using editorSearchView).

The result set does indicate if wrapping was performed though (wrapped past the end of the document). ... 2013-04-01T09:19:36Z 05e18226-e7cd-4475-b214-20d5cdccc51c-103484 Is there any way to detect when the user has searched through the entire document with editorSearchView and there are no more matches.

You might be able to determine it yourself if you put a breakpoint in the session's Closed event handler and see the st... 2013-03-22T15:44:41Z f10de865-b650-4b0c-ac22-c1311a5144bd-103463 I did actually mean that interacting with content in the popup is causing the problem. The SyntaxEditor that's causing the problem is hosted inside the tooltip. The interaction goes like this: ... 2013-03-22T12:12:16Z f10de865-b650-4b0c-ac22-c1311a5144bd-103460 Oh, I see... you meant SyntaxEditor's scrollbars.

My guess was that th... 2013-03-22T09:44:30Z f10de865-b650-4b0c-ac22-c1311a5144bd-103450 Hi Samuel, Hmm... what if you set e.Handled = true from your scrollbar event? I wonder if that would prevent our code from getting it then? 2013-03-22T09:25:31Z f10de865-b650-4b0c-ac22-c1311a5144bd-103449 Thanks for the suggestion. That gets me most of the way there.

That being said if you open... 2013-03-15T09:13:12Z f10de865-b650-4b0c-ac22-c1311a5144bd-103384 Hi, I'd like to implement a feature like Visual Studio's debugger tooltips in Silverlight SyntaxEditor.

So you can set the FindText property... 2012-02-21T15:21:21Z fa53b637-2a9d-46f0-834c-b5f1f4e8c5aa-100041 Hi, Is it possible to populate the Find-What box of the EditorSearchView with the text selected in the associated editor control?

Yes we do include a lot of samples for SyntaxEditor, but we do it so that we demonstrate each feature area in a separate example. Thus when you wa... 2011-09-26T12:57:07Z bcb0f6cc-1f21-4970-a7e6-59cee47ad18a-22099 I'm evaluating Actipro SyntaxEditor for Silverlight and am overwhelmed with the sample code (80 or so QuickStart projects for SyntaxEditor alone!?)

We'll add an IsModeToolBarVisible property for the next version that will help you with this. 2011-07-27T14:28:37Z 4c648a1a-07a0-4c6a-b702-04aa7f50a12a-21566 Is there a way to have only Find and not the replace functionality. This is required for us to support finding text in "Read-Only" documents. 2011-07-27T09:17:11Z 2429997a-ad46-4f06-bbcd-89c05ca6b034-21536 Hi Andre, The reason we don't show command usage in our SDI Editor demo's toolbar is that native Buttons don't support CommandTarget, which is what you need to have for them to be us... 2011-07-22T13:35:21Z 2429997a-ad46-4f06-bbcd-89c05ca6b034-21529 I am new to Silverlight, Actipro, and novice at MVVM.
