I have implemented something similar to your recent "ServerTags" sample, but with a bit more complexity.  I have found that if my caret is off-screen (i.e. click at the beginning of a document and then scroll down using mouse scroll wheel) and then I hover over a syntax element in an embedded C# code nugget, the quick info display will case the SyntaxEditor window to scroll to the location of the caret.

 

This is triggered by the following method with the full call stack at the bottom of this post:

ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.Addons.DotNet.Wpf.dll!ActiproSoftware.Text.Languages.CSharp.Implementation.CSharpQuickInfoProvider.RequestSession(ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls.SyntaxEditor.IEditorView view, object context)

 

Could you tell me the conditions under which the RequestSession method chooses to call ScrollToCaret?  I had a source code license for all of this, but the version it is good for is a bit old, so I was hoping you could tell me the criteria for the scroll so that I could just avoid the condition that is triggering this behavior.

Hi Scott,

Are you sure you have our latest version?  I believe we originally added this feature but then found the issue you are encountering and later altered it such that ScrollToCaret() only gets called if the quick info provider was requested by code such as from a toolbar button click.  After those changes it will no longer ScrollToCaret() when the quick info is displayed in response to a mouse hover.

I'll double-check and get back to you.  It might also be that the mechanism I'm using to request the quickinfo session from our hybrid language appears to be a toolbar button click from an API perspective.

Basically when you call IQuickInfoProvider.RequestSession using canTrackMouse = false, then that will trigger the ScrollToCaret() behavior if the caret isn't in view.

That's what I needed.  Thanks.  For some reason, we had canTrackMouse = true.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
