Smart indent for XML files not working - SyntaxEditor Web Languages Add-on for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 17 years ago by John Carpenter

Version: 4.0.0259

I am using the XmlSyntaxLanguage() language definition file but the smart indent isn't working. IE if I type:

<root>
<child>

and press "Enter" after the > of child, I get a closing tag and the cursor is placed on the far left and not lining up as I would expect. In your example application it works fine and everything lines up perfectly.

I am using pretty much the default settings and all the properties look the same. The "IndentType" is set to Smart and I really can't find anything else about it.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks very much!

John

It should be working per your settings. Could you put together a simple project that shows this happening and email it over so we can debug it? Thanks!

Thanks very much for the quick reply. I've just knocked together something quickly to show the problem. Hopefully it's just me being an idiot and overlooking the obvious.

Hi John,

Thanks for the sample. It looks like our code requires an XmlSchemaResolver to be set for this to work properly, even if you don't load a schema. Because that has some code that helps figure out hierarchies, etc.

So in your sample add this line and it should work ok:

this.syntaxEditor1.Document.LanguageData = new XmlSchemaResolver();
