In my completion provider i am trying to get a token of the ITextReader:
            // Get a snapshot reader and use it to see which token we're at
                ITextSnapshotReader reader = view.GetReader();
                IToken token = reader.Token;

                // Quit if we are in a comment
                if ((token != null && ( token.Id == Mediator.SL_COMMENT || token.Id == Mediator.ML_COMMENT)) )
                    return false;

                if (token == null) {  // TODO : doesnt work ever
                    reader.ReadCharacterReverse();
                    reader.GoToNextToken();
                    token = reader.Token;
                }
The reader is filled with text, but i cant get ANY token from it. I am using a mergable lexer to get my tokens:
            BlaiseLexer lexer = new Meta.Parsing.BlaiseLexer();
            string text =  reader.GetSubstring(reader.Offset , reader.Length-reader.Offset);
            Antlr.Runtime.IToken t = null;
                lexer.LoadText(text, "");
                t = lexer.NextToken();
                if (t.Text != null) {
                    reader.Offset += t.Text.Length;
                }
            int tokenId = t.Type;
            if (tokenId != IDE.Language.Mediator.Invalid) {
                LexicalStateTokenData lsd = new LexicalStateTokenData(lexicalState, tokenId);
                return new MergableLexerResult(ActiproSoftware.Text.RegularExpressions.MatchType.ExactMatch, lsd);
            } else
                return MergableLexerResult.NoMatch;
            
It uses our Antlr lexer:)

Syntax highlighting works fine, even i made a squiggle. ( i have implemented a parser too showing errors)

I thought the Mergable Lexer would create the tokens and store them somewhere. Maybe i should store them myself? Or should i attach the lexer to the reader somehow?

Hi Martin,

If you have syntax highlighting working then it must be tokenizing your text. Can you make a simple sample project that has a SyntaxEditor on a Window and shows the issue and email that over so we can take a look? Please do not include any .exe files in your ZIP or else the mail will bounce.

Hi Martin,

I think you may have modified something in the tagger provider output that prevented your token tagger from being found:

Your BlaiseTokenTaggerProvider.GetTagger<T> method had this incorrect line in it:
return ((ITagger<T>)(document.Properties.GetOrCreateSingleton(typeof(BlaiseTokenTagger), new ActiproSoftware.Text.Utility.PropertyDictionary.Creator<BlaiseTokenTagger>(factory.CreateTagger))));
The Language Designer generated output should have given you this instead (at least in 514 it does):
return ((ITagger<T>)(document.Properties.GetOrCreateSingleton(typeof(ITagger<ITokenTag>), new ActiproSoftware.Text.Utility.PropertyDictionary.Creator<BlaiseTokenTagger>(factory.CreateTagger))));
We are registering the token tagger that is created with the document properties under the key "typeof(ITagger<ITokenTag>)" here. Our ITextSnapshotReader looks for a document property with that exact key so that it can get tokens. In your case it wasn't found because you registered the property with key "typeof(BlaiseTokenTagger)" instead. So if you change that line it should work.
