Hi,

I have an editor using CsharpLanguage (add-on).

The intelliprompt memberlist appears and works correctly when the editor's
text is manually changed ( pressing ".", etc).

I have now a requirement where i need to programatically select a token and
force to show the intelliprompt list.

I've tried this:

Insert text to the document


   // Set the Caret Offset 
   syntaxEditor2.Caret.Offset = textRange.EndOffset - 1;
   
   // Type the "." 
   syntaxEditor2.Document.InsertText( DocumentModificationType.Typing,
    syntaxEditor2.Caret.Offset , ".");
After this syntaxEditor2.IntelliPrompt.MemberList is still empty.
therefore calling syntaxEditor2.IntelliPrompt.MemberList.Show();
shows an error that there are no items to show.


Further inspection showed that:

 void syntaxEditor2_KeyTyped(object sender, KeyTypedEventArgs e)
        {
Fires when i type in the editor, but it's never fired if i use the InserText method.
I;ve tried many DocumentModificationType options ( DocumentModificationType.Typing, AutoComplete, etc) without the desired effect.

Am i doing something wrong ??

Hi Erik,

Try using the selected view's PerformInsertTyping instead. That should simulate typing properly.
