Retrieve desired size of SyntaxEditor

Hi Rick,

Unfortunately all the view lines are virtualized for performance in large documents right now so we don't have anything built-in at the moment to do full desired measurement.

Hmm that is too bad.

What if we measure with an infinite height, would it be possible to retrieve the visible/rendered view lines and measure their height?

Hi Rick,

We would have to alter a decent amount of code to support this feature. I've written it down on our TODO list. One of the top features we plan on implementing following the .NET Languages Add-on completion is a single-line edit mode. In that we would need to do measuring. I added a note to that TODO item to also look into adding measurement (perhaps as an option) for the multi-line version too. We'll let you know once it's added.

Right now though there isn't much you can really do. You might be able to do editor.ActiveView.GetViewLine and iterate through the lines to add up height. Then account for borders and splits, etc.

Hi Rick,

We have been working on this a bit as a possible feature addition for the upcoming 2014.1 version.  If you would like to help test this with us, please write our support address and reference this thread.  Thanks!

We've announced this feature on our blog as being included for the 2014.1 version:
