Mark search results when using FindAll

Hi Stefan,

You could use classification tags for that in the WPF SyntaxEditor. Check out the AdornmentsIntraTextNotes QuickStart, which actually does a bit more than what you need.

The pieces you want from that are to create a tagger that inherits CollectionTagger<IClassificationTag>. Register the tagger like it does on the language. There is already a pre-defined ClassificationTag class you can use as your tags since it implements IClassificationTag. Just make sure you register a highlighting style for the classification type you use to indicate match results. An example of registering styles is in IntraTextNoteTag.

In MainControl.OnAddNoteButtonClick you can see how to get the tagger and add tag instances to it. You'd basically do that when you do your find all. You'd loop through each snapshot range result and add a tag to the tagger for it. The tagger will take care of moving the ranges around as the user does edits after that. Then later just clear the tags from the tagger when you want them to disappear.

Hope that helps!

Thank you again,

it is working fine!

Best regards,
Stefan

Hello,

I now have the problem that a special adornment (a grey rectangle for the first and last line) overlaps the tag highlighting. As a result, all search results in the first and last line are not highlighted.

Can I somehow "merge" the highlighting, or is there a way to draw my tag highlighting over the adornment?

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

When you create AdornmentLayerDefinition objects for your adornment managers, you can set Orderings in there where you say what it should be before/after. Thus you can order things properly with that.

Note that we found a bug with the ordering logic on our end that if you use multiple adornment layers, things may not sort completely right. You may have to specify an Ordering relative to each built-in layer to work around the bug. The documentation on adornments lists the built-in layers.
