Snippet Function Element

It seemed like VS.NET 2005 was hardcoded with some of the function handling functionality. But if you want to post some specifics on how you'd like to see something work where you could handle them yourself in SyntaxEditor, we'd be happy to look at your specifications and discuss them.

We are just getting started defining the snippets for our application, so I don't have an idea of what I want yet. I will post if I come up with any idea.

Besides functions, there is one idea I have that would be great for our users. Basically, a drop down list below a field of suggested values. For example, lets say there is a snippet like this: A user inserts the snippet. When the $objectName$ token gets focus, you call a virtual function in the SyntaxEditor that looks like this: I would then override the function if I wanted to give a list of possible values for the declaration. You would then display the intelliprompt if I give you one. And replace the declaration value if the user chooses a value.

thanks,
Jake

I actually do this with SyntaxEditor.

I handle the OnCodeSnippetFieldActivated event and in there I look at e.DeclaratorID matches whatever field I'm looking for (ie. in my case "procedure"), I will show a list of procedures to the user using the IntellipromptMemberList.

Thanks,

Thanks for the tip.
