Error description tooltip - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by NSXDavid

Is there some "intelliprompt" type tooltip event that happens when you hover of a span indicator? In particular I want to display the error message text that a CompilerErrorIndicator object represents in a tooltip when they hover over it, ala VS.NET and so forth.

BTW, the style import/export from the last maintenance release worked fantastic!

We don't have a built-in way to do this yet although you could probably handle MouseHover and find the offset from the Point. Then scan the containing DocumentLine's indicators to see if it contains that offset. That's what we'll end up doing when we implement this as a feature.

Glad the import/export worked!

Hmmm... ok.

Is there a way to take advantage of your somewhat snazzier tooltip control for this (or for anything really) as opposed to the much less formatable stock one?

There is a MarkupLabel control that is included in the WinUICore assembly. That's what we use in our popups. You could probably harness that in your own popup container.

Is there any documentation on the MarkupLabel? Basically, what tags it supports etc. I haven't been able to find anything.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

Look at the "IntelliPrompt Formatting Guide" topic in the documentation. That tells you all the tags/attributes you can use for the UI in SyntaxEditor that uses MarkupLabel.
