Unable to insert #region snippet

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for letting us know about this.  The CSharpCodeSnippetProvider is currently using the default logic of getting the word at the caret when checking for a snippet shortcut.  So it's checking "region" instead of "#region".  We've updated it for the next version (probably after the new year) to include a "#" character too if that is before the word.  That fixes this.

Thank you for the quick turnaround. 

Cheers,

Hi Actipro, 

When is the next release coming?

Hello,

We are working on wrapping up 2017.1 and ran into several things while testing that took longer than expected.  It should be relatively soon though.  We will probably publish one final 2016.1 maintenance release right before 2017.1 comes out.

Hi Actipro,

I tried the build 636 and found that the #<shortcut> does not work. Is the fix for #if or #region available in this build?

Steps to reproduce:

• Open .\Actipro Software\WPF-Controls\v16.1.0636\SampleBrowser\ProductSamples\SyntaxEditorSamples\Languages\Snippets\Javascript\JavascriptFor.snippet
• Modify the shortcut key to be <Shortcut>#fff</Shortcut>
• Build and Run Intelliprompt Quick Start | Code Snippet.
• Click Insert Snippet button and select "for": This works and insert the code snippet for "for"
• On empty line, type "#fff" and press 'Tab'.
• Observe: The 'for' snippet does not take place.
• Expected: 'for' snippet is added into the editor.

Hello,

Yes the fix is in that build but you had only originally mentioned the C# language.  As such, we only modified CSharpCodeSnippetProvider.  The reason it's not in the core CodeSnippetProvider base class is that the # symbol isn't used in every language.  And thus if we included that, it could cause some unintended consequences for certain languages. 

It's easily solved though.  If you make a JavaScriptCodeSnippetProvider, simply add this to that class:

protected override TextSnapshotRange GetPossibleShortcutSnapshotRange(TextSnapshotOffset snapshotOffset) {
	var snapshotRange = TextSnapshotRange.Deleted;

	// Get the word right before the offset, and if the word ends at the offset, return it
	var textRange = snapshotOffset.Snapshot.GetWordTextRange(snapshotOffset.Offset - 1);
	if ((!textRange.IsZeroLength) && (textRange.EndOffset == snapshotOffset.Offset)) {
		snapshotRange = new TextSnapshotRange(snapshotOffset.Snapshot, textRange);

		// If the word has a '#' preceding it, include that in the range as well
		if ((snapshotRange.StartOffset > 0) && (snapshotRange.Snapshot[snapshotRange.StartOffset - 1] == '#'))
			snapshotRange = new TextSnapshotRange(snapshotRange.Snapshot, snapshotRange.StartOffset - 1, snapshotRange.EndOffset);
	}

	return snapshotRange;
}

Thank you for solution.
