Edit control questions

How do I do the following
- Independently pop up the dialog box that shows up on the context menu/options selection

- programatically remove features from the configurator screen - I need only the font/color tab and I need the dropdown to be fixed and several other restrictions placed on this UI.

Hi Dunion,

It is possible to invoke the ControlOptions form independently. I have attached a sample that illustrates this in this link below.

Please let me know if this meets your requirements.

We are investigating to see if it is possible modify the Configuration Dialog and will get back to you shortly.

Thanks for your patience.

ControlOptions help was good, it's working.

As for the configurator, the real behavior we want the user to only be able to edit the font information on the 'formats' for our one language and nothing else. More significantly we want them only to be able to edit the colors and styles (italic, bold), and have one setting for font family and font size for all 'formats'.

Not a big deal, I may end up writing my own dialog box as the rest of the behavior we want to only let the user save this one part of information (the formats part) and merge this at runtime with the 'config file' that we may include as an embedded resource in the project.

That way they can't tinker with the lexer settings.

Hi David,

We regret very much for the delayed response. It is possible to allow users to modify only the Font Color and font Style informations with out modifying the font style informations of the formats in EditControl. I have attached a sample with modified frmFormatsConfig dialog that illustrates this in this link below.

Thanks, this looks like it will save some time and as well it looks like you may have added the solution for another issue of changing the context text with additional typing - I'll look into this today and let you know if we can close more issues.

Thanks again.
