ActiproSoftware.WinUICore.ScrollBar & VerticalScrollBarHint

Hi Dan,

I do the same thing with a Diff control. The approach I took was to use the built-in SyntaxEditor scrollbars. I have two editors... one of the left, one on the right. For the SyntaxEditor control on the left, I set the scrollbar style to be Horizontal only (basically hide the vertical bar). For the SyntaxEditor control on the right, I set the scrollbar style to Horizontal and Vertical. This provides a single vertical scrollbar with two independent horizontal scrollbars. I then just monitor the vertical scroll events on the right control to keep the left control in sync.

Since I use the built-in scrollbar, I still get the hints :)

Hey,

I did it but I have problem when the size of the text is different and the right side has more lines since the scrollBar of the left side is according to the left side data so I can't scroll down in the right side.
I need to change somehow the proportion of the left scroll bar to be according to the max line size....

Could you please send me an example of this to my email if it works for you ?

Hey,

Does someone has an answer for this ?
Hwo can I make two syntax editors side by side (like diff application) that controlled by one Vertical ScrollBar for both (Like in 4.0 version DiffForm sample) and dispaly the line numbers hint ?

Our ScrollBar control has ThumbScrolling and ThumbScrolled events. When we do hints, we attach to those and display a tooltip in the ThumbScrolling handler and hide it in the ThumbScrolled handler. Then during the ValueChanged event, we update the tooltip if it is displayed.

Hi Dan,

The trick I used was to make both compared documents the same length. This involved inserting blank lines in each document at the appropriate places to make them both have the same number of lines. This kept the scrollbars in sync. I then used custom line numbers for each line in the document to make the line numbers correspond to the original source document.
