Assembly: Sdl.DesktopEditor.EditorApi.dll
Syntax
public interface IAbstractFrameworkEditControl : IEditControl, IControl, IDisposable

Properties

Document

The document containing the data shown in the edit control. Setting this property completely re-formats the edit control.

Declaration
IAbstractFrameworkDocument Document { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
IAbstractFrameworkDocument

EditControlDisplaySettings

The display settings that will be used when rendering the document in the edit control, mostly involving display colors and formatting. These settings are mainly intended for use when adjusting settings for users with disabilities.

Declaration
EditControlDisplaySettings EditControlDisplaySettings { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
EditControlDisplaySettings

Font

The default font that will be used by the edit control to display text. IMPORTANT: Setting this property to another value will result in a memory leak unless the font is managed externally and disposed of correctly when it is no longer required - the edit control does NOT take memory ownership of fonts set here.

Declaration
Font Font { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Drawing.Font

HideHideableTags

When true any tags with CanHide set to true will not be shown in the editor.

Declaration
bool HideHideableTags { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean
Remarks

Hidden tags can still be manipulated through normal editing operations in the surrounding text, so they may get accidentally deleted!

SuppressFormatting

When true all semi-WYSIWYG formatting information will be ignored and all text in the control will be formatted using the default font and foreground color of the Control.

Declaration
bool SuppressFormatting { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean
Remarks

NOTE: It is important to set the HideHideableTags to true if this setting is enabled, otherwise there will be no visual indication to the presence of hidden tags, as the surrounding text will all have the same formatting.

This setting is off by default.

Note that font fallback will still be in effect, which may cause a different font to be used for characters that cannot be displayed using the default font.

Note that font adaptation settings will still take affect, causing the default font to be adjusted according to the settings.

TagDisplayMode

The tag display mode used for this entire edit control. This setting is used to determine the text that should be displayed on tags in the control.

Declaration
TagDisplayMode TagDisplayMode { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
TagDisplayMode
Remarks

In a side-by-side edit control the TagDisplayMode changes tag display for both source and target controls, while this property can be used to set different modes for source and target.

ToolTipContentDelegate

The delegate that will be used to get the content for Match Repair tooltips

Declaration
Func<IAbstractContentNode, string> ToolTipContentDelegate { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Func<IAbstractContentNode, System.String>

Methods

Filter framework specific version of CopySelection() that returns a filter framework specific document fragment.

Declaration
IDocumentFragment CopySelection()
Returns
Type Description
IDocumentFragment

A document fragment containing a changeable copy of the current selection.
Remarks

May throw Sdl.DesktopEditor.EditorApi.EditExeption if the selection cannot be copied (e.g. if it contains non-framework nodes or non-cloneable nodes such as Paragraph Units or Files).

FindCustomColumnAtPoint(Point)

Finds the custom column located at the provided device point. Returns null if there is no custom column at that point.
