Token Memers and span questions.

You can use the methods of TextStream to navigate back through tokens to find your open curly brace. Once found you can keep iterating backwards through tokens to look at the method definition and build your tooltip text.

Yes, thank you... I was just hoping for a single pointer instead of backing through the tokens. I have a fear of choosing the wrong opening brace, I figure if i count the close and open braces i should level out on the correct one, but i need to account for all the other sematic possiblities of the brace occuring.

Mabye it is much easier than I am thinking. I will put together a project and test it out before I ask questions that are easier solved by a quick 'trial & error'.

Thanks,

For that sort of thing we usually keep track of a brace level count. So every time we see another close brace when moving backwards, we increment the count. We decrement the count on an open brace. Then we only match an open brace that has a brace level count at zero. In v4.0 we're adding some methods to do some of this automatically for you.

When is 4.0 scheduled for release?

SyntaxEditor 4.0 is currently our top priority and we're making very good progress on it.
The feature set we're trying to implement for it is extremely ambitious so it's taking a little longer than expected.
We don't have a release date so basically it will be out as soon as it's done.
Once it's ready it should be worth the wait.
