Undo/Redo for SpanIndicators

Hi Walter,

Can you explain in a bit more detail about your scenario? Thanks!

We have to implement some kind of enhanced/customized text editor (not primarily a syntax editor) with e.g. features to highlight words or char ranges, to mark words as deleted (striked throu) or to mark them as added. For these commands i would like to have them undoable (the text changes as well as the corresponding highlight operations).

I implemented one custom EditCommand (like HighlightTextCommand) which simply adds a HighlightSpanIndicator to some text range and i did not find a way to make this command undoable/redoable (remove the highlighting).
Isn't it possible or did'nt i find the right samples or documentation?

Regards, Walter

Thanks for the reply Walter. This sort of usage is a bit different than for what SyntaxEditor was designed.

The built-in undo/redo mechanism only supports text changes and doesn't restore indicators. However you possibly could track them yourself by attaching to the various events on SyntaxEditor such as DocumentIndicatorAdded, DocumentIndicatorRemoved, etc. and maintaining a stack somehow based on DocumentTextChanged events.
