Splitting
SyntaxEditor supports split views so that you can edit multiple areas of a document at the same time.
Splitting UI
There are two forms of UI that are visible when splitting features are enabled.
A horizontal split of a SyntaxEditor
When splitting is enabled, a small gripper button appears on top of the right vertical scrollbar. This gripper allows you to create a horizontal split by either double-clicking it or dragging it downward.
When split, the area between views can be dragged to resize the splits. The splitter there can be double-clicked to remove the split.
Split Capabilities
These members control splitting features:
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| CanSplitHorizontally Property | Gets or sets whether the editor can be split horizontally to show more than one view. The default value is true. |
Split State and Locations
The following properties are used to determine if there is currently a split in the editor and can also be used to create a split.
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| HasHorizontalSplit Property | Gets or sets whether the editor is currently split horizontally to show more than one view. |
| HorizontalSplitPercentage Property | Gets or sets the percentage across the width of the editor at which the horizontal split is located. The value must be between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates no split. |
This code creates a horizontal split:
editor.HasHorizontalSplit = true;
Resetting Splits
The SyntaxEditor.ResetViews method can be used to reset the editor to showing a single view.
View Placement
The IEditorView.Placement property returns an EditorViewPlacement enumeration value indicating where a view is currently located within the editor.
