How to trigger the TextFormatter from QuickStart.GettingStarted13-TextFormatter - SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for WPF Forum

Hi,

I want to trigger the TextFormatter programatically.

Which method of the syntaxeditor I have to call to trigger the TextFormatter.Format(TextSnapshotRange snapshotRange)?

When triggering by button_cklick, where can I see the code for the EditorCommands.FormatDocument?

Thanks

Christel

Hi Christel,

Our Format Document action has some built-in code that helps retain selection. But the core of the method effectively does:

ITextFormatter textFormatter = document.Language.GetTextFormatter();
textFormatter.Format(view.CurrentSnapshot.SnapshotRange);

You could just trigger our built in code with something like:

editor.ActiveView.ExecuteEditAction(new EditActions.FormatDocumentAction());
