Set LineModificationIndicators with AppendText? - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 19 years ago by Karl Grambow

Is it possible to manually set the LineModificationIndicators to show up when using Editor.Document.AppendText?

When creating a new Document I am, in some instances, pre-filling the Document with some text by using Editor.Document.Text = "some text". I could use AppendText I suppose.

I'd like to be able to make any text that I add programmatically have the LineModificationIndicators showing up but I can't figure out how to do it.

I've set,

Editor.Document.Modified = True and Editor.Document.LineModificationMarkingEnabled = True but it only seems to affect modifications that occur with Key Presses.

Thanks,

Karl

Yes, each DocumentLine has a property for the color of the modification flag. You can set that appropriately but you probably need to call SyntaxEditor.Invalidate afterwards.

Thanks,

That worked.

Although I did find that changing the color of the modification flag doesn't actually change the LineModified property for that line (not sure if that's how it works). So I had to manually change all of the lines to color.green when I hit save. As such:


For Each line As DocumentLine In CurrentEditor.Document.Lines
     line.ModificationMarkColor = Color.Lime
Next

I assume that there isn't a big issue with how I've done it.

Another quick way to change multiple lines from one color to another is by using Document.ChangeLineModificationMarkColor. I believe the default "no mark" color is Color.Empty.
