Comment/Uncomment

[Scott Swartz]

I''d like to have toolbar buttons that comment and uncomment the selected text.

There is a editControl.CommentSelection() function but it doesn''t appear to do anything and the help for that method has zero details. I assume that I need to specify what I consider a comment to be (i.e., in C# it would be "//"), but I can''t figure out how to do that.

I also found the following code in one of their downloadable samples. If they hane comment and uncomment methods, I''m not sure why they have this code sample.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

//Lock Painting
LockWindowUpdate(this.editControl.Handle.ToInt64());
editControl.se
for (int i = 1; i <= this.editControl.PhysicalLineCount; i++)
{
this.editControl.InsertText(i, 1, "-- ");
}

//Resume Painting
LockWindowUpdate(0);

Hi Scott,

Our apologies for the delayed response. For EditControl.CommentSelection method to work properly the StartComment attribute of ConfigLanguage tag of the language configuration definition has to be defined in the XML configuration file.

Example:

For C# :



I have attached a sample that illustrates this in this link given below.

Please let me know if this meets your requirements.

Thanks for your patience.
