ParameterIndex not sensitive to strings

Hi,

I have implemented parameter info for PHP using the basic way of setting the ParameterDelimiterCharacter to "," and so on. When the IntelliPromptParameterInfoParameterIndexChanged event is fired, I update my parameter info. However, SyntaxEditor doesn't seem to care whether or not the comma is within a string or not, which means that something like myFunction("hello," would make it shift to parameter number two. I can see that this works better in the SDI demo app, with the .NET language add-on. How should I change my current implementation to be context-sensitive, like the .NET add-on?

It scans tokens and in languages like the .NET Languages Add-on ones, each string is a single token. That is how they are skipped. You'd have to do something similar.

If you are unable to do that, then you can choose not to use the built-in functionality and write similar code yourself to scan which parameter you are in. All it does is scan the surrounding text when SelectionChanged occurs and updates the ParameterIndex property.

I just tried doing this manually, but it seems like the ParameterIndex is reset by SyntaxEditor on each keystroke. So when I set the ParameterIndex, the box flickers on each keystroke, because I have to set the ParameterIndex each time. How do I avoid that?

I already tried setting CloseDelimiterCharacter and ParameterDelimiterCharacter to '0', as described in the documentation, but that doesn't seem to fix this issue.

Update: Okay, a "null character" is actually '\0' - took me a bit more Googling to figure that one out :). You might want to add that to the documentation, it would have been a great help to me and probably others as well :)

Correct setting it to '\0' will prevent the ParameterIndex updates. That info is in the documenation for ParameterDelimiterCharacter, but I'll add the explicit '\0' example to it. Thanks.

Yeah, I did find it in the documentation (which is rather good, it has helped me a bunch of times), but stating that a null character is a '\0' would make it perfect :)

In the mean time, I seem to have it working with manually updating the ParameterIndex. It's great! :)
