Intelliprompt for any letter

Hi Ayala,

We don't have a built-in way to do that right now however you could handle the SyntaxEditor's KeyTyped event and if it is a letter, go scan the text with a TextStream (from Document.GetTextStream()) to see if it started a word. If so then show the member list.

As long as when you request the member list you pass the offset range that contains the letter, it will auto-select the appropriate item for you.

Thanks. I did that but I still have a problem: When I type the first letter, the intelliprompt pops fine- with the appropriate auto-select. But when I type the second letter- it pops up again- it does not recognize that it's the same word, and it acts like a new word.(again-auto-selects but for the second letter).
My code is:
if (stream.IsAtTokenStart)
{
if (stream.Offset > 0)
{
stream.GoToPreviousToken();
targetTextRange = stream.Token.TextRange;
}
}
else
{
stream.GoToCurrentTokenStart();
targetTextRange = stream.Token.TextRange;
}
But "IsAtTokenStart" is always true!
Am I missing anything, or is that a bug?
Thanks, Ayala.

Hi Ayala,

Two things could cause that... First would be if you didn't define something like an Identifier token for your language. In that case plain text could just be consumed as a token for each character, which is bad performance-wise and will cause what you see. Either that or you didn't pass the correct offset when creating the TextStream.
