SyntaxEditor - IntelliPrompt Parameter Info Samples

August 15, 2011 at 9:32 AM
by Bill Henning (Actipro)

BlogPostBanner

In our last post, we showed off the new automated IntelliPrompt parameter info features coming to the C# and VB languages in the SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for WPF/Silverlight.

These features can also be implemented in your own custom languages as well, since the .NET Languages Add-on uses the core parameter info UI model provided with the SyntaxEditor control.  In the upcoming 2011.2 version of SyntaxEditor, we’ve added documentation and new samples that show how to enhance your own languages with automated IntelliPrompt parameter info.

New Sample Screenshots

Let’s see some screenshots of the new samples:

ParameterInfo1

  This particular sample is part of our extensive Getting Started series where we show you how to build a language with rich features from scratch.  This sample shows how parameter info watches for a ( character to be typed and shows a helpful tip when appropriate.  It recognizes that we are typing the first argument in the IncrementAndMultiply function invocation and thus bolds the x.

ParameterInfo2

In the next screenshot of this sample, we’ve pressed the left arrow key.  The parameter info tracked that we’re now within a parent Add function invocation instead and switched the displayed tip to reflect that.  Note that since we are in the second argument of that invocation, the y parameter is bolded.

ParameterInfo3

In this final screenshot of the sample, we’ve pressed left arrow to move the caret back to the first argument of the Add function invocation.  Now the x parameter is bolded.

Now we’ll look at another new, but more basic sample that shows simply how to populate parameter info signature overloads, but doesn’t do the automated tracking as in the above sample.

ParameterInfo4

This sample shows how easy it is to add multiple signature overloads to the parameter info.  When there is more than one signature in the parameter info, the parameter info automatically adds the x of y count with up/down selection arrows on the upper left of the tip.  This allows users to scroll through the various overload options available to them.

Summary

These new features and samples are ready to go for the 2011.2 versions of the WPF and Silverlight SyntaxEditors, due in the next several weeks.
