IntelliPrompts

The RadSyntaxEditor has support for intelliprompts which aim to speed up coding by reducing typos and other common mistakes.

Code Completion

Through the CompletionListWindow you can show a collection of items when the user inputs a given string. To do so, you need to first populate its presenter's CompletionListItems collection.

Example 1: Populate and display the completion list window

• C#

var completionListItems = new CompletionInfoCollection() 
{ 
    new CompletionInfo("Collapsed", new BitmapImage(new Uri("../../Icons/Entity-Enum.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))), 
    new CompletionInfo("Hidden", new BitmapImage(new Uri("../../Icons/Entity-Enum.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))), 
    new CompletionInfo("Visible", new BitmapImage(new Uri("../../Icons/Entity-Enum.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))), 
}; 
 
this.syntaxEditor.IntelliPrompts.CompletionListWindow.Presenter.CompletionListItems = completionListItems; 
this.syntaxEditor.CompleteCode(); // or this.syntaxEditor.IntelliPrompts.CompletionListWindow.Show();

The code completion popup can also be shown using the Ctrl + Space key combination.

Overload List

Through the OverloadListWindow you can show a collection of overloads when the user tries to invoke a certain method. To do so, you need to first populate its presenter's OverloadListItems collection.

Example 2: Populate and display the completion list window

• C#

var overloadList = new OverloadInfoCollection 
{ 
    new OverloadInfo("Span? RadSyntaxEditor.Find(string searchText, int startIndex)", "Finds the specified searchText."), 
    new OverloadInfo("Span? RadSyntaxEditor.Find(string searchText, int startIndex, bool useRegularExpression)", "Finds the specified searchText.") 
}; 
 
this.syntaxEditor.IntelliPrompts.OverloadListWindow.Presenter.OverloadListItems = overloadList; 
this.syntaxEditor.IntelliPrompts.OverloadListWindow.Show();
