How to programatically change selected text properties?

Hello,

I assume you are referring to the Search Result Highlighting feature?  If so, I believe you'd want to update the IHighlightingStyle in the AmbientHighlightingStyleRegistry that corresponds to the IClassificationType returned by:

new DisplayItemClassificationTypeProvider().FindMatchHighlight

Thank you for the answering.

Basically what I want to do is to be able to modify some ranges of text, ideally the ones returned by the search function.

Would it be possible to provide a small example code snippet?
I am not entirely sure how to achieve this by reading the documentation.

To be more specific, let's assume that the syntax editor contains the following text:
"The brown fox jumps the fence."

How could I change the text properties (font family, font color, font size) of the word "brown" only?

Hello,

Something like this would work:

var style = AmbientHighlightingStyleRegistry.Instance[new DisplayItemClassificationTypeProvider().FindMatchHighlight];
style.FontSize = 20;

var options = new EditorSearchOptions();
options.FindText = "class";
control.editor.ActiveView.HighlightedResultSearchOptions = options;

Classification taggers can be used to highlight various ranges too, such as in the AdornmentsHighlightWord QuickStart.  But if you want to just highlight search results, the above is easiest.

Thank you, this has been very helpful.
