Intelliprompt on Token - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 19 years ago by John Youren

Hi,

I am using the SyntaxEditor for a language that has multi word/token commands.

For example,

Make Object Cube

I would to show an intelliprompt box when the user types make, much like what happens when you use a trigger with a character. So, is it possible to do it using tokens, as well as characters?

Thanks!

EDIT

Also, I have notice with intelliprompt box, when you press space it fills in the word for you, so if I have two choices e.g.

Make Object Cube
Make Object Cylinder

When I press space after 'Object' it will automatically insert Cube. Is there a way of preventing this?

Hi John,

I think you'd want to add a trigger for the space character and then use a TextStream or TokenStream to look back at the previous word and see if it is "make". If so, then display the list.

The space character will insert a highlighted selection, as is the behavior in VS.NET. If you add the space character to editor.IntelliPrompt.MemberList.AllowedCharacters, it will not insert the selection when space is typed.
