Current Line Highlighting

SyntaxEditor supports two methods of highlighting the current editor view line, meaning the view that currently contains the caret:

• Current line highlighting
• Current line number highlighting

Current Line Highlighting

The SyntaxEditor.IsCurrentLineHighlightingEnabled property can be set to true to activate current line highlighting. It is off by default.

When active, a border can be rendered above and below the entire line with an optional background brush.

Changing the Highlight Brush

The brushes used to render the highlight can be adjusted by the end user since it is exposed via a special classification type's style in the highlighting style registry.

See the "Special Classification Types" section in the Highlighting Style Registries topic for more information on how to modify the style.

Current Line Number Highlighting

The SyntaxEditor.IsCurrentLineNumberHighlightingEnabled property can be set to true to activate current line number highlighting. It is on by default.

When active and the line number margin is displayed, the current line number will be rendered in a different style than the other line numbers.

Changing the Current Line Number Style

The brushes used to render the line number can be adjusted by the end user since it is exposed via a special classification type's style in the highlighting style registry.

See the "Special Classification Types" section in the Highlighting Style Registries topic for more information on how to modify the style.
