Display additional Information at IndicatorTag at any time

Hi Karsten,

If you want to always show the number without any pointer interaction, I might recommend a custom editor view margin instead.  We have a nice QuickStart sample showing this named "Editor View Margins - Custom".  In that sample we show the number of characters on each line.  But you could alter that concept to show your number instead on appropriate lines.

Hi,

thank you for the tip. I like it very much.

Sadly, i don't know how to go on. Because the indicator already does know the number, i thought to go thruogh the indicators (that are needed) and read out the tag.

Now i have to problems. I am not able to read out the indicators i tried to cast them but i am struggeling with it.

        private void OnCustomDraw(object sender, CustomDrawElementCustomDrawEventArgs e)
        {

            // Find the previous indicator 
            var tagRanges = view.SyntaxEditor.Document.IndicatorManager.GetInstances<ActualLoopIndicatorTagger, ActualLoopIndicatorTag>();

            foreach (var tagRange in tagRanges)
            {
                //get ActualLoopIndicatorTag.Tag here?
            }
            return;

Second Problem for me is that i don't know how to get this method executed on the change of the indicator margin. at the moment it reacts only on the change of the view.

Hi,

Oh ok, if you need to also use/display indicators then perhaps it is best to just make the indicator margin wider as you said.  You can put this in your app's Resources to increase the margin width:

<Style TargetType="editor:EditorIndicatorMargin">
	<Setter Property="Width" Value="100" />
</Style>
