Hello,

I don't know how to make sense of this, how do you figure out if the present location of cursor is inside the round brackets and when it is outside round brackets. I use dynamiclanguage definition and definied my brackets explicitly just liek your C# language does:

<ExplicitPatternGroup Key="OpenParenthesisPatternGroup" TokenKey="OpenParenthesisToken" PatternValue="(" LookAhead="$|[^\*\.]" EndBracket="CloseParenthesisPatternGroup" />

<ExplicitPatternGroup Key="CloseParenthesisPatternGroup" TokenKey="CloseParenthesisToken" PatternValue=")" StartBracket="OpenParenthesisPatternGroup" />

I have the following options set to true:

syntaxEditor.BracketHighlightingInclusive = true;
syntaxEditor.BracketHighlightingVisible = true;

And i see that the dynamic paraser highlights the parenthesis for me, but how do i determine at all times anywhere in my code if i am inside or not of a perenthesis structure?

Regards

Nassim,

You can get a TextStream at any time to scan text like this:
TextStream stream = editor.Document.GetTextStream(editor.Caret.Offset);

The stream lets you move forward/backward by character, token, etc. Use that to determine what you are around.
