Conversion from 3.1.0222 to 4.0.0280

Walt,

1) There are events such as SyntaxEditor.DocumentIndicatorAdded you can use instead.

2/3) Any SyntaxLanguage-derived class has methods such as OnDocumentTextChanging and OnDocumentTextChanged that you can override. I believe those are what replaced the older methods.

Hope that helps!

OK fixed those 3 and the good old compiler found another 250 or so... gotta love it.

Mostly straightforward but this one is causing me problems

SyntaxLanguageEventArgs.Language.SemanticParser = myDynamicOutliningSyntaxLanguage;

myDynamicOutliningSyntaxLanguage is an instance of a class that inherits from DynamicOutliningSyntaxLanguage

SemanticLanguage is gone and the help says
"SemanticParser class
Removed the SemanticParser class. All the features of this class have been merged into the SyntaxLanguage class."

So how do I get DynamicOutliningSyntaxLanguage associated with the Language?

Walt,

The methods in the old SemanticParser class were moved to be merged into the SyntaxLanguage class. So SyntaxLanguage now has an AutomaticOutliningBehavior property, PerformAutomaticOutlining method, SetOutliningNodeCollapsedText method, etc.

I gather that but I still need to set the language of the SyntaxLanguage before those methods will work right? How else will the SyntaxLangauge know how to work?

I'm guessing that I'm not understanding what this code used to to... I'll go read some more help for a while.

Ok I think I see your confusion. Now you'd make a language class that inherits DynamicOutliningSyntaxLanguage. Look in our sample project at CSharpDynamicSyntaxLanguage.

Then in the dynamic language XML definition (like in the sample's ActiproSoftware.CSharp.xml file), in the root tag you'll see this attribute: So when you load that XML file, SyntaxEditro looks for the type "TestApplication.CSharpDynamicSyntaxLanguage" in assembly "TestApplication" and uses that class as code-behind.

Thus everything gets linked up.

Make sense now?
