Assembly: Sdl.DesktopEditor.EditorApi.dll

Syntax

public interface ISideBySideEditor : IControl, IDisposable

Properties

ActiveEditControl

The edit control that currently is editable, if it is the source or target edit control, or null if neither.

Declaration

IFrameworkEditControl ActiveEditControl { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IFrameworkEditControl

AutoDisposeDocument

Determines if the currently assigned document should be automatically disposed of when another document is assigned and/or when the editor is disposed.

Declaration

bool AutoDisposeDocument { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Remarks

The initial value of this property reflects the auto-dispose parameter passed to SetDocument(IBilingualDocument, Boolean).

AutoScrollSource

When true the source edit control is automatically scrolled so that it is aligned with the current selection in the target edit control when the selection in the target control is moved.

Declaration

bool AutoScrollSource { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Remarks

When this property is false the source edit control can still be explicitly scrolled to align it with the current selection in the target edit control by calling ScrollSourceToTargetSelection().

DisplaySettings

The display settings that will be used in both the source and target edit controls.

Declaration

EditControlDisplaySettings DisplaySettings { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EditControlDisplaySettings

Document

The bilingual document that contains the content shown in the source and target editors.

Declaration

IBilingualDocument Document { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IBilingualDocument

Remarks

Assign a document to the editor by calling SetDocument(IBilingualDocument, Boolean).

If the AutoDisposeDocument property is true this document will be disposed by the editor when it is no longer needed. To get notifications when the document is disposed, connect to the Disposing event.

DocumentEditingUser

Sets the user to be used for revisions

Declaration

string DocumentEditingUser { set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String

EnableImplicitRowActivation

When true, row activation will occur when the user row selection changes. When false, row activation will only occur when the user manually activates it.

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!

When source and target use different settings this property is false.

HideTextTooltips

Allows hiding and restoration of tooltips on text nodes. This affects, for example, text inside a commented or revision marked range.

Declaration

bool HideTextTooltips { set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

IsInitialUpdateCompleted

true when the control has been fully initialized. This is set just before the AfterInitialUpdate event is raised.

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Remarks

When source and target use different settings this property is false.

Source

The edit control showing the source language content in the side-by-side editor.

Declaration

IFrameworkEditControl Source { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IFrameworkEditControl

SplitContainer

The splitter control that hosts the source and target controls.

Declaration

SplitContainer SplitContainer { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer

SuppressFormatting

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

Declaration

bool SuppressFormatting { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Remarks

This setting is off by default.

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.

Changing this setting will affect the corresponding setting on both the source and target controls. If the source and target have different settings the value of this property will be false.

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.

TagDisplayMode

The display mode for tags in both source and target edit controls.

Declaration

TagDisplayMode TagDisplayMode { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
TagDisplayMode

Remarks

If source and target uses different tag display modes this property returns TagDisplayMode.Unspecified.

Changing this property will cause the source and target content to be re-formatted.

Target

The edit control showing the target language content in the side-by-side editor.

Declaration

IFrameworkEditControl Target { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IFrameworkEditControl

Methods

Redo()

Performs a redo operation on the correct edit control and updates the caret position in both the source and target controls.

Declaration

bool Redo()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if the operation succeeds.

RedoMultiple(Int64)

Performs multiple redo operations on the correct edit controls and updates the caret position in both the source and target controls.

Declaration

bool RedoMultiple(long count)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Int64	count

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if the operation succeeds.

Redraw()

Force a re-layout, re-draw and refresh of the content of both the source and the target control.

Declaration

void Redraw()

Remarks

Call this method to update the editor if the document content has changed as the result of external API operations, e.g. after loading a document from a file.

ScrollSourceToTargetSelection()

Scrolls the source edit control so that the active end of the current selection in the target is aligned with the corresponding source content.

Declaration

void ScrollSourceToTargetSelection()

SetDocument(IBilingualDocument, Boolean)

Assigns the specified document to the editor. The document can thereafter be accessed from the Document property, and the content of the document is shown in the source and target edit controls.

Declaration

void SetDocument(IBilingualDocument document, bool autoDispose)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IBilingualDocument	document	The document who's content should be displayed in the edit controls, or null if none.
System.Boolean	autoDispose	Determines whether the control should call Dispose() on the document when it is no longer needed (i.e. when another document is set, or when the editor is disposed).

Remarks

The auto-dispose flag indicates whether the control should take ownership of the document, and automatically dispose of it when it is no longer needed. This behavior can be changed at a later stage by setting the AutoDisposeDocument property. If auto-dispose is not set it is the responsibility of the application to ensure that the document gets properly disposed of when no longer needed. This is important, as the document can not be garbage collected until it has been explicitly disposed.

IMPORTANT: This operation will cause the source and target edit control instances to be destroyed and re-created. Any external event handlers connected to the original source and target controls should be disconnected before this call and (if desired) re-connected to the new controls after this operation.

Passing null for the document will render the source and target controls empty.

ToggleFocus()

Toggles the focus between the source and target and moves the selection to the start of the equivalent row in the focused control.

Declaration

void ToggleFocus()

Undo()

Performs an undo operation on the correct edit control and updates the caret position in both the source and target controls.

Declaration

bool Undo()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if the operation succeeds.

UndoMultiple(Int64)

Performs multiple undo operations on the correct edit controls and updates the caret position in both the source and target controls.

Declaration

bool UndoMultiple(long count)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Int64	count

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if the operation succeeds.
