Hi Petar,

Thanks for adding these features ! I guess https://feedback.telerik.com/wpf/1431060-syntaxeditor-add-api-for-inserting-code-snippets should be moved to "SyntaxEditor" instead of "TimeLine"?

Another suggestion will be to support EBNF-like grammar definition files. We have our own language and we would like to give it to RadSyntaxEditor to get code highlighting!

Best regards, 

Hi Petar,

I absolutely! Tab key could helps us to navigate between token.

For instance typing "func" then "TAB" will call the snippet manager and will insert the following code:

RETURNEDTYPE function FUNCTIONAME()
{
   //Type your code here
}

So we can write the returned type of the function then pressing "TAB" or "ENTER" will switch to the next token:

void function FUNCTIONAME()
{ 
    //Type your code here
}

Finally we can write the second token then pressing "ENTER" to close the snippet management:

void function MyFunction()
{
    //Type your code here
} 

Best regards,

Olivier 

Hi Petar,

Another interesting feature would be a "Snippets manager". This component would help us to write some code block according to templates.

Hi Petar,

Glad to hear that these features are planned!

    - We want to setup breakpoint on the left (near to the line numbers). 

We would like to have the ability to tag a line so yes we would like to highlight the line.
When running our program we will stop the execution to the lines that have a breakpoint so we could set an icon which will be displayed near to the line numbers column. As a result the ability to set an icon to the left of a code line would be enough for us.

    - We want contextmenu (example: Find all instance/Go to definition/...)

We plan to use a language server so it will be great to have a mechanism that allows us to plug our own logic for "find/replace/..."

Thanks & Regards,
Olivier

Hello,

Here our usecase:

• We have our own language
• We want to provide IntelliSense (with our own results in the drop down list)
• We want to be able to expand/collapse some scope/regions
• We want to comment multiple lines at the same time
• We want to setup breakpoint on the left (near to the line numbers)
• We want to underline some contents (by settings errors on tokens)
• We want to provide tooltip according to the mouse pointer position
• We want syntax coloration
• We want contextmenu (example: Find all instance/Go to definition/...)

Thanks & Regards

Olivier

My use case so far were:
General: An editor control with fixed font behaving like a text editor out of the box and providing features like line numbering, search, search/replace. (e.g. highlighting all search occurences)
Specific:
* I like to use this in applications for info text which needs no formatting
* Use in internal projects to display code (SQL, programming language code) with additional feature syntax highlighting

* Use for parsing text (using the parsing engine from the control) for e.g. SQL
