AutoReplaceTrigger on keypress - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Version: 4.0.0262

Hello

Is it possible to activate the autoreplace function each time the user press a new key ?

I want to replace the user input just after the last character of the word without having to press the Enter key.

For example :
endif will be replaced by endIf just after entering the 'f'

Thanks for your help

Regards

Stéphane

You could add more triggers or call EditorView.PerformAutoReplace on the SelectedView in any KeyTyped event where an appropriate key is typed. Hope that helps!

it's not working for me...

* Solution 1 : I defined the following trigger activator


<AutoReplaceTriggerActivator Character="f" />

but it doesn't work

* Solution 2 : I added the following code in the keypressed event


for (int l_i = 0; l_i< m_editor.Views.Count; l_i++)
{
    m_editor.Views[l_i].PerformAutoReplace();
}

but it doesn't work

Any idea ?

I see the problem, when you have a trigger, it looks at the token before the inserted character. But in this case 'f' is part of the current token so it's looking at the wrong token.

But this other way works. Instead of KeyPress, put this in the KeyTyped event:

if (e.KeyChar == 'f')
  this.SelectedView.PerformAutoReplace();
