How to implement the ContextTooltip feature in WinForms SyntaxEditor (EditControl)?

Tooltip

The ContextTooltip can be populated with additional information on the corresponding lexem by handling the EditControl's UpdateContextTooltip event. Please refer the below code snippets.

C#

private void editControl1_UpdateContextToolTip(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Edit.UpdateTooltipEventArgs e)
{
   if( e.Text == string.Empty )
   {
       Point pointVirtual = editControl1.PointToVirtualPosition( new Point( e.X, e.Y ) );
       if( pointVirtual.Y > 0 )
       {
           //Get the current line
           ILexemLine line = editControl1.GetLine( pointVirtual.Y );
           if(line != null)
           {
               //Get tokens from the current line
               ILexem lexem = line.FindLexemByColumn( pointVirtual.X );
               if( lexem != null )
               {
                   IConfigLexem configLexem = lexem.Config as IConfigLexem;
                   e.Text = "This is of type " + configLexem.Format.Name + " : " + lexem.Text;
               }
           }
       }
   }
}

 

VB

Private Sub editControl1_UpdateContextToolTip(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Edit.UpdateTooltipEventArgs) Handles editControl1.UpdateContextToolTip
    If e.Text = String.Empty Then
       Dim pointVirtual As Point = editControl1.PointToVirtualPosition(New Point(e.X, e.Y))
       If pointVirtual.Y > 0 Then
          ''Get the current line
          Dim line As ILexemLine = editControl1.GetLine(pointVirtual.Y)
          If Not (line Is Nothing) Then
             ''Get tokens from the current line
             Dim lexem As ILexem = line.FindLexemByColumn(pointVirtual.X)
             If Not (lexem Is Nothing) Then
                Dim configLexem As IConfigLexem = lexem.Config
                e.Text = "This is of type " + configLexem.Format.Name + " : " + lexem.Text
             End If
          End If
       End If
    End If
End Sub
