In our last couple posts, we revealed the new IntelliPrompt parameter info features coming to SyntaxEditor for WPF/Silverlight in the 2011.2 version. Today I’d like to show off another highly-requested feature coming in that version: single-line edit mode.
Many of our customers have asked for the ability to have a single-line mode without any scrollbars that would still have all the editing and visualization capabilities of SyntaxEditor, and that’s just what will be delivered in v2011.2.
A new SyntaxEditor.IsMultiLine property can be set to false to make the editor render like this:
In the top editor, we’re using the advanced XML language in the Web Languages Add-on. You can see how I started typing a new tag and I have full syntax highlighting and automated IntelliPrompt, just like in a normal multi-line SyntaxEditor control. Squiggle lines are also present, indicating syntax errors.
We’re very excited to get this new feature out into your hands in the next version.
