Other

As of R1 2020, the CompletionListWindow which is of type CompletionListPopup exposes a TextInserting event. Its arguments are of type CompletionListTextInsertingEventArgs and provide the following properties:

  • Cancel: Gets or sets a value indication whether the text insertion should be cancelled.
  • SpanToReplace: Gets or sets the span which will be replaced with the inserted text.
  • TextToInsert: Gets or sets the text that is selected from the CompletionListPopup.

Example 1 demonstrates how to use this event to replace the text which was entered before an item from the completion list was selected.

Example 1: Handle the TextInserting event

private void CompletionListWindow_TextInserting(object sender, CompletionListTextInsertingEventArgs e) 
{ 
    string lineText = this.syntaxEditor.Document.CurrentSnapshot.GetLineFromPosition(this.syntaxEditor.CaretPosition.Index).GetText(); 
    string[] splitted = lineText.Split(new char[] { ' ' }); 
    string lastWord = splitted.Last(); 
    if (e.TextToInsert.ToLower().StartsWith(lastWord.ToLower())) 
    { 
        int wordLength = lastWord.Length; 
        int spanEnd = e.SpanToReplace.Start; 
        e.SpanToReplace = Telerik.Windows.SyntaxEditor.Core.Text.Span.FromBounds(spanEnd - wordLength, spanEnd); 
    } 
}
