Hiding public members of a type - SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 3 years ago by YEVGENIY A GRIGORYEV

Version: 20.1.0403

Hello, as we are upgrading from 2018.1, we've noticed that somehow we relied on method/property documentation-like tag

///<script>Visible</script>

to hide public members of classes when we own the source. It seems like with these present, IntelliPrompt listing was limited to members tagged Visible.

I cannot find this technique documented in Member List Pre-Filtering in previous versions, and this may be a customization on our side, although I cannot find treatment of this in our use either.

Is this something that worked in previous versions? If so, is something like this available on 2020.1?

Thank you.

Hello,

We've never had anything that examines documentation comments for whether something is visible, so that would have had to have been on your side if it was used. If you had something like that working before, perhaps you had a custom completion provider that was filtering out items that had that text anywhere in the doc comments?

The official way to exclude members from IntelliPrompt is to decorate them with this attribute:

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]

Thank you, we will conduct more research on our side.

Yes, a CSharpCompletion provider re-implementation was needed for recover this functionality. Thank you.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.0) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
