DocumentModificationType - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 19 years ago by Greg Shaffer - Boulder

Here's a possible improvement for the semantic parser:

For the DocumentModificationType, I think it would be better if there was a TypingComplete type, as opposed to just a Typing type.

I really only need to set/modify my token's ISemanticParseData after the user has performed a keyup. If the user holds down a key, I don't want to execute code every time a character gets added to my document.

I can manage this myself, but it seems useful in the PostParse function.

Is there another mechanism from within PostParse?

Hi Greg,

The problem is that the document modification occurs from the SyntaxEditor's KeyPress event. So KeyUp doesn't happen until after the modification already occurred. Any suggestions?

Yep I was running into that as well.

Maybe the specific modification doesn't matter in this case, so maybe a new function, like "KeyUpPostParse(Document doc)" would work.

Or, you could cache the last modification and pass that as well.

"KeyUpPostParse(Document doc, DocMod lastMod):

Order of calls:

KeyPress on Editor
...
PreParse -> Rename to PreLexicalParse?
PostParse -> Rename to PostLexicalParse?
...
KeyUp on Editor
...
KeyUpPostParse

----------Or-----------
Explicitly call PostParse on a KeyUp.

BTW,

This goes under the category of "It would be nice if..."

Really, I should make my semantic parsing a little better so I don't have to worry about this feature.

Just an idea...
