How do I just select text and change the background style?

Hi Joe,

Eventually span indicators (like in our SyntaxEditor for WinForms product) would be the best way to implement those but we haven't gotten to that feature area yet. For the time being, classifiers are the only way to achieve it.

There does not seem to be any logic to how the text blocks are passed to the classify method. Sometimes it is one line, sometimes 20.

Is there a way to tell it to pass one line at a time?

Thanks

Am I stuck getting the Textrage back, looking at the string and trying to parse the item so I can figure out the real lines? I am not understanding how I get a lines collection back so I don't have to write 100 lines of code.

Thank you,

Hi Joe,

I believe they are passed by line increments but we can't guarantee that will always stay that way.

You can use snapshotRange.Snapshot.PositionRangeToTextRange to convert your line/cols back to a TextRange.

Cool, that was the method I needed.

Do you know what happens if I give it a character longer than the line length?

So lets say line 40 has 20 chars and I ask for 1-30

Will it adjust and only give me 20 or will it overflow and give me 10 chars of the next line?

Thanks again,

I believe it will trim the character value based on the line length.
