How to implement VS.NET like XML tag insertion feature using WinForms SyntaxEditor (EditControl)?
4 mins read
Text handling
This can be used, while editing the XML language tags in the SyntaxEditor (EditControl).
The cursor can be placed at any positon of the line and the nodes will be inserted correctly in the beginning and the end of the current line. This feature saves time while editing your XML documents using the Essential Edit. Refer to the code attached to know more about it.
C#
private void menuItem_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.inputDialog.ShowDialog();
if(this.accepted == true)
{
if(this.inputString.Equals(""))
{
MessageBox.Show("The node name cannot be empty");
}
else
{
this.editControl1.MoveToLineStart();
this.editControl1.InsertText(this.editControl1.CurrentLine,(this.editControl1.CurrentColumn)," ");
this.editControl1.InsertTexthis.editControl1.CurrentLine,this.editControl1.CurrentColumn, "<"+this.inputString+">");
this.editControl1.InsertText(this.editControl1.CurrentLine,(this.editControl1.CurrentColumn)," ");
this.editControl1.AppendText("</"+this.inputString+">");
}
}
}
VB
Private Sub menuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles menuItem12.Click
Me.inputDialog.ShowDialog()
If Me.accepted = True Then
If Me.inputString.Equals("") Then
MessageBox.Show("The node name cannot be empty")
Else
Me.editControl1.MoveToLineStart()
Me.editControl1.InsertText(Me.editControl1.CurrentLine,(Me.editControl1.CurrentColumn)," ")
Me.editControl1.InsertText(Me.editControl1.CurrentLine,Me.editControl1.CurrentColumn, "<"+Me.inputString+">")
Me.editControl1.InsertText(Me.editControl1.CurrentLine,(Me.editControl1.CurrentColumn)," ")
Me.editControl1.AppendText("</"+Me.inputString+">")
End If
End If
End Sub
