Switching between filters in a completion session

Hi Matt,

Let me answer your questions...

1) Yes shorthand is effectively like ".*h.*e.*l.*l.*o.*" so you could make a custom filter if you like.

2) We'll update the next build's code so that if you set a tab filter's IsActive property to true before the completion list is displayed, that tab will be selected by default.

3) We'll update the next build to scroll to the selected item when a tab is clicked.

I hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply... on 2) I wasn't looking for a way to set IsActive before the completion list is displayed - I'd like to be able to switch to a different tab during a session, based on a better match existing on another tab. So is there any way I can achieve that? I'm happy to programatically determine which tab is best myself, and I'm pretty sure that I want to over-ride CompletionSession, override OnDocumentTextChanged, then check for the selection state being partial - and then see if there is a better match on another tab. The bit I'm struggling with is finding out how to apply the matchers to the currently filtered items. Are there any code examples around for that or hints you can give?

Actually, don't worry, I figured it out. For anyone interested, here's the code I used in a derived CompletionSession:

        protected override void OnDocumentTextChanged(SyntaxEditor editor, EditorSnapshotChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnDocumentTextChanged(editor, e);

            if (_allFilter == null || _suggestedFilter == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            if (Selection != null && Selection.State == CompletionSelectionState.Partial && _suggestedFilter.IsActive)
            {
                var lowPriorityItems = Items.OfType<ISqlCompletionItem>().Where(x => !x.IsHighPriority).ToList();
                foreach (var matcher in ItemMatchers)
                {
                    var completionSelection = matcher.Match(this, lowPriorityItems, TypedText, false);
                    if (completionSelection != null && completionSelection.State == CompletionSelectionState.Full)
                    {
                        ActivateAllFilter();
                        Selection = completionSelection;
                        return;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        protected override IntelliPromptCompletionList CreatePopupContent()
        {
            _list = base.CreatePopupContent();
            return _list;
        }

        private void ActivateAllFilter()
        {
            var border = _list.FilterElement as Border;
            if (border != null)
            {
                var child = border.Child as ListBox;
                if (child != null)
                {
                    for (var i = child.Items.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                    {
                        var item = child.Items[i] as ListBoxItem;
                        if (item != null && item.Tag == _allFilter)
                        {
                            child.SelectedItem = item;
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
