How to insert selected text within XML tag in WinForms SyntaxEditor (EditControl)?
Add or remove the lines
In WinForms EditControl, you can load the selected text inside XML tag by using “SelectedText”, “Selection” properties as well as the “InsertText”, “DeleteText” functions.
The following code example illustrates the same.
C#
//Gets the selected text
string selectedText = editControl1.SelectedText;
//Delete the selected text
editControl1.DeleteText(editControl1.Selection.Top, editControl1.Selection.Bottom);
//Gets the cursor position
IParsePoint iparse = editControl1.GetRealCursorPosition();
int cursorposition = iparse.Position;
if (flag)
{
cursorposition = cursorposition - 1;
}
//Inserting before
editControl1.InsertText(iparse.Line, cursorposition, "#region\n");
iparse = editControl1.GetRealCursorPosition();
if (flag)
{
//Inserting selected text
editControl1.InsertText(iparse.Line, cursorposition - 1, selectedText + "\n");
flag = false;
}
else
//Inserting selected text
editControl1.InsertText(iparse.Line, cursorposition, selectedText + "\n");
iparse = editControl1.GetRealCursorPosition();
//Inserting text at end of the selection
editControl1.InsertText(iparse.Line, cursorposition, "#endregion");
VB
'Gets the selected text Dim selectedText As String = editControl1.SelectedText 'Delete the selected text editControl1.DeleteText(editControl1.Selection.Top, editControl1.Selection.Bottom) 'Gets the cursor position Dim iparse As IParsePoint = editControl1.GetRealCursorPosition() Dim cursorposition As Integer = iparse.Position If flag Then cursorposition = cursorposition - 1 End If 'Inserting before editControl1.InsertText(iparse.Line, cursorposition, "#region" & Constants.vbLf) iparse = editControl1.GetRealCursorPosition() If flag Then 'Inserting selected text editControl1.InsertText(iparse.Line, cursorposition - 1, selectedText & Constants.vbLf) flag = False Else 'Inserting selected text editControl1.InsertText(iparse.Line, cursorposition, selectedText & Constants.vbLf) End If iparse = editControl1.GetRealCursorPosition() 'Inserting text at end of the selection editControl1.InsertText(iparse.Line, cursorposition, "#endregion"
