autoreplace and triggers - what have I missed? - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 19 years ago by GavinK151

hi!

I am keen to try out the auto-replace feature provided by the SyntaxEditor but I cant seem to get anything useful to happen :-(

I have loaded the language definition file of choice
I have added some items to the AutoReplace range for mis-spelled words for example.
I have then created some code to just print debug info in the "AutoReplacePerformed" action for the editor

but this event never seems to fire. I dumped out the triggers collection and see "<" and "=".

I am certain I need to enable something but have missed out on what. I do have the propery "AutoReplaceTriggersEnabled" set to true in the form designer....

What have I missed/totally misunderstood/donr completely wrong?

thanks :-)

You need to make sure the language definition has an auto-replace trigger defined. Look at our C# sample def. That shows one.

In our sample app, you can type in the word (without quotes) "itn" and then press TAB and it will auto-correct it. Look in the code for "itn" (with quotes) and you can see where that is set up.

Of course you also need AutoReplaceTriggersEnabled set to true.
