Compressing the SciLexer DLLs using gzip will decrease their size by about half and hence reduce the size of the final DLL. Implementing this requires gzipped files to be embedded and a minor change to the code, line 862 in Scintilla.cs:GetModulePath()

                            var resource = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "ScintillaNET.{0}.SciLexer.dll.gz", (IntPtr.Size == 4 ? "x86" : "x64"));
                            var resourceStream = typeof(Scintilla).Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resource); // Don't close the resource stream
                            using (var gzipStream = new System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(resourceStream, System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress))
                            using (var fileStream = File.Create(modulePath))
                                gzipStream.CopyTo(fileStream);

Hey,

I am creating an IDE and I want to underline wrong variables that don't exit with a red line.

So is there a way I can access the coloring list and modify it ?

I hope you understand me, If not tell me.

The document still reports being modified even when you call SetSavePoint. I even tested to make sure the SavePointReached event was firing, which it was. Am I doing something wrong here?

Would it be possible to hook into the native Scintilla events and raise the default WinForms events from those?

e.g. SCN_DOUBLECLICK -> DoubleClick event.

Overriding/Adding events to the control would be necessary, as Scintilla has, e.g. SCN_*CLICK events for different items.

I am incorporating the SQL lexer and i came across what I believe is a bug in the styling.

I set the Style.String for SQL and noticed that for it to work the string has to be surrounded by double quotes. This is incorrect.

Me.txtQuery.Styles(ScintillaNET.Style.Sql.String).ForeColor = Color.Red

The proper SQL syntax for strings is a single quote or apostrophe.

Can this be changed on your end or not?

Hello, I successfully implemented a FindNext method, but am having trouble implementing a FindPrevious method, all of my attempts have failed. Any ideas? Here is what I have for the FindNext method:

txt is the string to search for, and sf is the SearchFlags.

public int FindNext(string txt, int sf)
{
    Scintilla1.TargetStart = 0;
    Scintilla1.TargetEnd = Scintilla1.TextLength;
    Scintilla1.SearchFlags = sf;

    if (Scintilla1.SearchInTarget(txt) != -1) {
        Scintilla1.TargetStart = Scintilla1.CurrentPosition;
        Scintilla1.TargetEnd = Scintilla1.TextLength;
        Scintilla1.SearchFlags = sf;
        if (Scintilla1.SearchInTarget(txt) != -1) {
            Scintilla1.SetSelection(Scintilla1.TargetEnd, Scintilla1.TargetStart);
            Scintilla1.TargetStart = Scintilla1.TargetEnd;
            Scintilla1.TargetEnd = Scintilla1.TextLength;
            return Scintilla1.TargetStart;
        } else {
            Scintilla1.TargetStart = 0;
            Scintilla1.TargetEnd = Scintilla1.TextLength;
            if (Scintilla1.SearchInTarget(txt) != -1) {
                Scintilla1.SetSelection(Scintilla1.TargetEnd, Scintilla1.TargetStart);
                Scintilla1.TargetStart = Scintilla1.TargetEnd;
                Scintilla1.TargetEnd = Scintilla1.TextLength;
                return Scintilla1.TargetStart;
            } else {
                return -1;
            }

        }
    } else {
        return -1;
    }
}

Hello, what you have done is incredible here, so thank you.

I see that there are styles for a few languages, what if I want to set a style for a language such as Ada? Do I have to modify and recompile ScintillaNET myself to add Ada to ScintillaNET.Style?

While the CPP style works for several languages, my editor has to support a lot of languages, and not all have "//" as the comment delineation.

Thanks.

My project is a 'Regex helper' program. I may have found a bug when highlighting the end of a paragraph of text in wrapped mode.

Basically, lines are wrapped as expected, but when I highlight the end of the line/paragraph, Scintilla seems to think that the 'fake' newlines that make up the paragraph are also newlines. When in fact, they're just wrapped text. An image is worth a thousand words, so take a look at this:

http://www.skytopia.com/stuff/wildgem-bug.png

I know it's not a bug with my program, since only one match is found as expected (whereas the screenshot looks as though it matches 9!). It doesn't seem like very 'desired' behaviour from Scintilla, so could this be a bug? If not, is there a workaround?

Hi,

Thank you for continuing the development of this great control! I am in the process of updating the control from 2 to 3 and have encountered numerous changes (most of which I have corrected).

I do have a bit of code that I cannot find a solution for. I would like to know if the selected text is multiline.

Here is my old code:

Dim rng As ScintillaNET.Range = ActiveDocument.txtQuery.Selection.Range

        If rng.IsMultiLine Then
            rng.Text = "/*" & rng.Text & "*/"
        Else
            rng.Text = "--" & rng.Text
        End If

Unfortunately, version 3 does not have a Range object or a isMultiLine property.

Is there a solution for this in version 3?

Continuing the SQL Style conversation...I notice that the default style isn't working (or maybe i'm doing something wrong)...

Me.txtQuery.StyleResetDefault()
Me.txtQuery.Styles(ScintillaNET.Style.Default).Font = "Consolas"
Me.txtQuery.Styles(ScintillaNET.Style.Default).Size = "10"
Me.txtQuery.StyleClearAll()

Me.txtQuery.Styles(ScintillaNET.Style.Sql.Default).ForeColor = Color.Blue
Me.txtQuery.Styles(ScintillaNET.Style.Sql.Number).ForeColor = Color.Black
Me.txtQuery.Styles(ScintillaNET.Style.Sql.Operator).ForeColor = Color.Gray
Me.txtQuery.Styles(ScintillaNET.Style.Sql.String).ForeColor = Color.Red

I would expect the default text color to be BLUE...is my thinking incorrect?

Thanks!

I need to be able to set the selected text, like in the old Scintilla.

Here is my "rough draft" attempt at doing so:

 public unsafe string SelectedText
        {
            get
            {
                // NOTE: For some reason the length returned by this API includes the terminating NULL
                var length = DirectMessage(NativeMethods.SCI_GETSELTEXT).ToInt32() - 1;
                if (length <= 0)
                    return string.Empty;

                var bytes = new byte[length + 1];
                fixed (byte* bp = bytes)
                {
                    DirectMessage(NativeMethods.SCI_GETSELTEXT, IntPtr.Zero, new IntPtr(bp));
                    return Helpers.GetString(new IntPtr(bp), length, Encoding);
                }
            }
            set
            {
                DirectMessage(Constants.SCI_REPLACESEL, IntPtr. Zero,value);
            }
        }

You have cost me over a week of porting, error fixing, and getting my hands dirty, all just to transition from the old scintilla to this one. And it was the best decision I could have made. For once I was forced to view the source code and as a result, as well as through you teaching and helping me, I learned more about Scintilla and various other topics in this week alone then I did from the months of using the old Scintilla.

Thank you, I've already said it, but I will be sticking around to help/contribute in any way I can.

So, let's say you made scintilla.Styles not just readonly? This would allow people to create their own StyleCollection() as an object and then simply assign that object to scintilla.Styles.

Does that sound like a reasonable idea? Is there a major reason that that would be impossible?

If this is doable, my ultimate goal was to take any of the user-rolled themes that may end up in the Wiki (or any I create for my project) and start adding them to a "managed" DLL of styles that someone can simply include in their project through nuGet to have access to predefined styles for different languages without having to copy/paste examples from the wiki if they didn't care about customizing it themselves. In essence, making a "companion" package to Scintilla that has Scintilla has a prereq. And everything would be simpler if I could just assign the resultant StyleCollection to the scintilla.Styles property.

Managed DLL:

Code Implementation:

Styler styler = new Styler(Languages.Cpp, Themes.Light);
styler.Set(code);

Are these planned to be implemented? I know the Find/Replace dialog is not planned to be implemented as the project is aimed to be kept cross-platform, but what about just the methods so the user could implement their own? Possibly such as Find, Replace, FindAll, etc. and Regex searching?

I would like an event called TextChangedDelayed to be added.

It simply gets called when a player stops typing, Unlike TextChanged event which gets called every character entered.

Why ?.. I have a parser that parses the code however, I won't be called the parser every second but I will refresh it every time the user finishes typing. (Meaning raise his hand from the keyboard).

Still don't get it ?

What I mean is that there will be a property called TextChangedDelayedInterval and will have a default value of lets say 1000, So when the user stops typing for 1 second, The event will get fired.

I did my best to explain it... If you still don't get it, Reply.

Is it possible to use a method as a command? Or do I have to modify ScintillaNET to add them in?

For example I want to create a key binding for my method to display my snippet list. Is this possible?

Sorry for my storm of questions and whatnot.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but with both the 3.2RC and 3.3 versions, I get "Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'ScintillaNet' does not have a strong name" when building.

I managed to get rid of the error using the steps here: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/341645/Referenced-assembly-does-not-have-a-strong-name

Is there a way to get the release to have a strong name by default or am I missing a step in my setup? I installed via Nuget.

Thanks for your help!

I'm probably skipping over it, but how do you set the text of a specific line? The Scintilla.Lines(#).Text only gets the text.

I take it that ReplaceTargetRe is for using Regex, but I'm not sure how to use it, I'm am confused by this and the GetTag method. Thanks.

I began working on a demo application in both C# and VB. An issue that I ran into was the fact that this project is updated fairly often (good), but that would mean the demo application would be obsolete quite often. What are your thoughts on the update frequency for the demo application?

I've used the previous version of ScintillaNET that was on CodePlex for displaying XML in C# WinForms. I downloaded this new version today and am having issues with setting up an XML lexer. Is there a new way to accomplish this?

Thank you

Do I need to use interop for this? If so, why doesn't ScintillaNET have this basic functionality built in?

Implementation of how to go about this would be appreciated.

I found this, but it's only C based:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12310144/how-to-change-the-editors-background-color-with-scintilla

When you do a { and then press ENTER, The caret will go back to the first of the line.
Ex: (The | means the caret)

{
|
}

Is there is a way to add auto indention.. So it adds a TAB on the start of the line.
Ex: (The | means the caret)

{
    |
}

What I mean here is: Is there an integrated way or I will have to program it myself ?

Hi,

As you said you've been implementing lexers on an "as needed basis" I wonder if you would consider adding lua (http://www.lua.org/) to the list? Is this only possible by extending the library itself? I see that there is a custom recipe for python but it uses the Lexer.Python enum for setting everything up. How would one add support for lua without a dedicated lua enum value? Is there a viable option apart from handling StyleNeeded and doing all the lexing manually?

best regards, nagblock

So, in the section called: "Automatic Syntax Highlighting", you outline how to setup the syntax highlighting for Cpp. Previously, all of this was contained in ScintillaNET, was it not? Are you now saying that all the time we need to define these "style sets" ourselves? Also, there is no longer support for SQL?

I'm sorry, I'm just confused about how things are going to be going forward and what I will be expected to do versus what Scintilla will be handling for me. Can you please clarify the future of ScintillaNET in this regard? Thanks.

I have a Scintillia control with lots of text in it. When I add a ClientSizeChanged event, and then maximize the window, when I then check the WrapCount value for all Lines in the document, Scintilla looks at what the old WrapCount values were. It seems as if they aren't updated in time.

Is it a subtle bug with Scintilla? I mean, I expect these kind of issues with events from time to time as the order in which things happen is important. Is there any hack around this?

To try and remedy the problem, I tried all the events out to see if I could find one that happened AFTER the WrapCount values were properly updated. I didn't find any, except possibly the StyleNeeded event. Well, first off, I'm sure the StyleNeeded event wasn't meant for this, and in my case, the event will be repeated needlessly. In any case, the correct WrapCount values are not reported first time around, so any solution along these lines will be a kludge regardless (perhaps allowing it to be called say a quarter of a second after it being first called, but not later than this - I know; sounds kludgy to say the least).

I have simplified the bug to a small sample project if you would like me to post the link to the VS project. Or maybe I could post the full designer code + Form1.cs code directly here.

Hello,
I use ScintillaNet and I would like to implement a drag & drop between TreeView and Scintilla.

I developed ItemDrag event for TreeView and DragEnter and DragDrop events for ScintillaNet.
I have verified that the "allowdrop" property is true.
But my problem is that the DragDrop event does not fire.
I do not know what to try...

Thank you for your help.

ps : sorry for my English

After experiencing the various horrors of the RichTextBox when developing my OpalCalc software, I though I'd give ScintillaNET a whirl for my latest project. So far, so good. There aren't any of the flickering issues, and highlighting is a LOT faster. Thank you to the original programmers and of course those who ported this to .NET.

Anyway, even though it's generally fast, I was hoping there may be a way to get GetStyleAt() faster. In theory, it should be able to access the memory as if it were an array, though I suspect there's a reason why things aren't so simple (hmmm... accessing scintilla1.Text[x] is also relatively slow, so perhaps it's not just a simple linear array for the characters?).

My purpose is for my own custom highlighting scheme. I'm aware of the StyleNeeded event, though I need to highlight the (currently visible) page of text arbitrarily, and not simply nearby the text that's currently being typed out by the user. Looking at just the current visual page of text seems to be the simplest way of going about this.

Are there plans to add the SnippetsList in?

I am new to ScintallaNET and maybe I'm just missing a setting that turns this on, but whenever I copy/paste syntax highlighted text, the clipboard doesn't also get the syntax highlighting with it. I know that, essentially, none of that information is saved to the file and so it's just text and that only the presentation of it in the editor is actually where the coloring is being done. But, is there some way to get the syntax highlighting to go with the copy so that it can be pasted into an email to a co-developer so they can read it more easily and not just see black text?

From scintilla 3.5.3 all multibyte support(win98 legacy) has been removed. Now styling functions in scintilla receives fontname in UTF-8 encoding, not windows default.

Current ScintillaNET still uses Encoding.Default to assign font names, but it fails when non-ascii named fonts applied. (e.g. CJK language fonts)

Encodings should be changed to UTF-8.

I was using a previous release, but suddenly a bunch of functions/properties which I was used to disappeared (ex: GetWordFromPosition, Lexing, AutoComplete), or had its name changed (CurrentPos -> CurrentPosition) and I'm having trouble to figure out whether I will have to code the function or only change the name I was used to.
So it would be great to have a documentation on the changeset, and in the first place why these functions/properties were deprecated?

I'm not sure why I can see caret on margins when moving mouse. See the picture below.

When I stop moving, the cursor displays as arrow. But when I'm moving the mouse, it displays as caret. Do you have any opinions about this?
Thanks.

Hi Jacob
It seems that it's not to raise the CharAdded event after insert a '\t'. Is this a bug or a feature?

What events are identical to DocumentChange and ModifiedChanged of previous versions?

Is there a plan to implement IncrementalSearcher for newer version?

Can you please add the ability to show End of Line characters like CR and LF

Hi,

In older versions, it was necessary only to set:

scintilla.ConfigurationManager.Language = "python";

to have a nice python editor up and running.

As I moved to 3.3 version, initially I tryied to do:

scintilla.Lexer = Lexer.Python;

But anything happened, that is, the editor didn´t show syntax highlighting.

Checking README.md file, I saw an example showing how to configure a C# editor defining all features corresponding to Visual Studio-style editor.

It´s necessary to do those definitions for all languages? That is, there´s no way to define Scintilla as a Python, R or MSSQL only defining a property.

If so, could you find examples for those other languages?

Tks in advance,

Hello,

I'm using Scintilla to do some custom syntax highlighting for HLASM (that's IBM mainframe assembler), by hosting it in WPF. I can read in my data, display it and highlight, so all is well there. However, I would like to be able to open another data file, read it, display it and highlight it as well.

The doc wasn't exactly very clear on this, so I created a new document, set it to as the new document and release the old one, like so:

var oldDoc = scintilla.Document;
scintilla.Document = new Document();
scintilla.ReleaseDocument(oldDoc);

Once the document is created, I start appending text to the control. However, it seems like either the styleposition or textLength field is not being reset properly, so my syntax highlight blows up in SetStyling() with
ArgumentOutOfRangeException("length", "Position and length must refer to a range within the document.");

Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks

The Write method always adds the buffer's length to the stream's length which causes an incorrect value when the position is not at the end of the stream. The fix is to change
length += count;
on line 84 to
length = Math.Max(length, position);

You can test this as follows:

using System;
using System.IO;
using ScintillaNET;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

namespace ScintillaNET.Tests
{
[TestClass]
public class NativeMemoryStreamTests
{
[TestMethod]
public void StreamLengthTest()
{
// the way it ought to work
StreamLengthTest(() => new MemoryStream());
// the way we work
StreamLengthTest(() => new NativeMemoryStream(10));
}

    public void StreamLengthTest(Func<Stream> streamMaker)
    {
        using (var stream = streamMaker())
        {
            var buffer = new byte[] { 2, 3, 4 };
            stream.Write(buffer, 0, 3);
            Assert.AreEqual(3, stream.Length);
            stream.Write(buffer, 0, 3);
            Assert.AreEqual(6, stream.Length);
            stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            stream.Write(buffer, 0, 3);
            Assert.AreEqual(6, stream.Length);
            stream.Seek(4, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            stream.Write(buffer, 0, 3);
            Assert.AreEqual(7, stream.Length);
        }
    }
}

}

I believe this has to do with ScintillaNET trying to extract the Scilexer DLL's to a temp folder. If I have a project in Visual Studio with a ScintillaNET component on it, I can not then open another project in another instance of Visual Studio with the ScintillaNET component, if you try to view the form, it states the DLL has failed to initialize.

The trouble I am having is recreating this issue, it doesn't happen all of the time.

This is obviously a rare case as I don't imagine many people working on 2 projects at the same time with the component.

Because of an earlier issue where I have had problems with the custom lexer in Scintilla.Net 2.6 [https://scintillanet.codeplex.com/discussions/633010] I've tried to change my project which based on the SCide from Codeplex.net to ScintillaNET 3.3, but it looks like this library is not compatible with the one from codeplex. Is there any container project for the newer ScintillaNET 3.3?

1st of all thanks for sharing ScintillaNET.
it's a great idea

I am searching an example in vb.net to understand better how to create my own basic editor.
I tried to use ScintillaNet 2, with less difficults because I found and example.
I need to integrate in my project an SQL editor with basic and strong feature like:

• Highlight code
• Autocomplete:
  a) SQL keywords
  b) a couple of my own stuff like list databases, list of tables, list of column
  c) I would like add the all words of current text, maybe I have to do it myself or just active a flag because it is a feature already embedded in scintilla?
  d) If it is possible add for each keyword, a description and a prefix. Prefix usefull to group my own keywords. For example if I write #db I would like see the list of databases and when I select one of if I don't include the prefix #db in my text.
• Maybe the "call tips" can help me refering the above request? I would like an example.

Where i can find an example?
grazie mille

have plan in future or any idea to me?

Will the search/find form be implemented by default again?
Making custom lexer highlights via xml?

BUG
When displaying line numbers and you have alot in the editor, it messes up the numbers and doesn't display them fully. (Lines 1-100 show then 1000+ shows 000 etc)

Will this be a feature that will be added in the future?

Hi Jacob,
Is there a simple way to support text dragging?

I am using auto indentation, and would like to be able to determine if a line is a fold point or not. I remember reading somewhere about setting a property to do this. Is this possible?

When the HScrollBar property is set to true, it should only display the scrollbar when it is needed but it currently displays it when it is not needed (for example when there is no text in the box or the text width is less than the width of the ScintillaNet control)
