Scroll bar showing top line line number when scrolling

Yes there is a VerticalScrollBarHintEnabled property that does this.

Thanks, so how does the VerticalScrollBarHintDefaultText property effect this, does this string value accept place holders e.g.

Line No {LineNo}

I'm confused as the documentation states very little and has no example.

Ok, the docs are improved for this for the next maintenance release.

Here's the portion added to the VerticalScrollBarHintDefaultText property:

This text is used in the scrollbar hint popup when the VerticalScrollBarHintEnabled property is true and scrolling occurs.

This hint text supports the markup constructs that you can use for quick info so bold, italics, etc. are supported. Also you may specify {0} for the current line number and {1} for the total line count.

:) - I've just found out this doesn't work, although it's more than likely because I'm using a separate vertical scroll bar ( i.e. similar to the TextDiff sample app ) to control the scrolling of both syntax editor controls.

Any idea how I can easily achieve this to show the line numbers from the right most syntax editor control when scrolling this scroll bar?

Ahh yes, ours only works if you use a built-in SyntaxEditor scrollbar. You'd have to create and show your own tooltip and update it based on the scroll events of your scrollbar.

Would you mind sharing any of the code in the syntax editor which would help do this in the scroll bar?

Any specific events I'd need to add the code too

Many thanks

Hi Matt,

Our code for doing this uses internal popup and label controls along with an internal scrollbar control. You'd have to use the .NET standard ScrollBar and ToolTip controls to do it externally so the way you would do it wouldn't be the same as how we do it.
