EditControl from string and Outlining

[Michal Siedlecki]

I'm using editcontrol to edit a script from string. The script is read from the database.

After setting Edit1.Text = PythonScript,  outlining is not displayed

After any change of the text, outlining appears.

How can I force the appearance outlining?

Michal

Hi Michal,  

  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

  

We have checked your query “Outlining is not shown in EditControl when assign a text to Text property” and we have prepared the sample, how the outline support is enabled using SupportsOutlining property in EditControl.  You can collapse/expand ranges of text defined by the language. Please find the code snippet, screenshot and sample for the same. 

  

Code Snippet: 

 

this.SupportsOutlining = true;

Please check the sample and let us know if you still facing the issue? If not, please modify the sample based on your scenario and revert us with the more details, so that it will be helpful for us to check on it and provide you the solution at the earliest.

Thanks you for the answer, but it does not solve my problem.

In my application property SupportsOutlining  is set to true

When I read the script file as in your example using  (Edit1.DocumentSource = "../../Source.py";), everything works OK, but in my application script is read from the database as a string and I'm using Edit1.Text = PythonScripts

Immediately after Edit1.Text = PythonScript, my window looks like this

After any change from the keyboard, the outlining appears
