Undoable margin indicator

Hi James,

There is nothing built in for tracking indicators that get removed due to edits.  Would you like us to change the ITextChange.CustomData property to have a setter so you can update it?  We don't really use it for anything ourselves.

Hi Actipro,

Making it settable will be great. Could this be in the next maintenance build?

Thanks and regards,

James Zheng

Hi James,

Yes we will add a setter for the next maintenance release.

Thank you.

Hi Actipro,

I was debugging through the code and found an issue.

Even if I'm able to set new custom data in document's OnTextChange() call, this custom data in the text change won't be preserved in undo/redo stacks later if the text change is for undo and redo.

Please help ensure that new custom data can be preserved in the undo/redo stack even if the text change happens during undo and redo operations.

Regards,

James Zheng

Hi James,

You would have to set the custom data in a TextChanging event instead of TextChanged.  The TextChanged event you can consume occurs after the undo record was already created.  As long as you set the custom data in TextChanging, I verified it does persist through the undo/redo stack.

Hi Actipro,

Thanks for the advice. I've changed the flow to what you suggested. It seems more natural to be in the text changing call.

The issue I described above was due to my mistake in my code.

May I know when the next relase will be ready?

Hi James,

We are still collecting updates for the next maintenance release, so we don't have a date just yet.  Please watch our blog or our Announcements forum to be notified of when the next maintenance release occurs.
