Architecture question - multi-tabbed editor - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by shark92651

Does SyntaxEditor have support for quickly switching "documents" so that the status of the current document is preserved: current cursor position, modified state, expansion of regions, etc... I'm sure I could use multiple SyntaxEditor components, one for each page, but I fear that could be a huge resource hog.

That is something we really want to implement for a future major release. So that you could switch Document objects. Would you need to retain undo stack as well?

Absolutely. What is the best approach to handle this in the interim? Multiple components or manually saving/restoring the state of all this data. Is it possible to save/restore Undo stack? Bear in mind that there could be multiple languages loaded as well.

Probably have multiple instances of the control. However make sure you have them share the same instance of a SyntaxLanguage. That will help you save on memory a little.
