Outlining Property

Outlining

Represents an object that implements IOutlining interface that specifies appearance and behaviour of outline sections within the control.

Declaration

[TypeConverter(typeof(ExpandableObjectConverter))]
public virtual IOutlining Outlining { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IOutlining

Implements

ISyntaxEdit.Outlining

Remarks

Outline regions enable you to hide text from view by collapsing a code region so that it appears under a plus sign (+). You expand a collapsed region by clicking the plus\minus sign.

The AllowOutlining property determines whether outlining is enabled in the SyntaxEdit control.

Outline sections are typically provided by the SyntaxParser object.

Examples

Here is how to use a Outlining in the C# code:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var syntaxEdit1 = new Alternet.Editor.SyntaxEdit(this.components);
        syntaxEdit1.Outlining.AllowOutlining = true;
        syntaxEdit1.Outlining.OutlineOptions = OutlineOptions.DrawOnGutter | OutlineOptions.DrawLines | OutlineOptions.DrawButtons | OutlineOptions.ShowHints;
        syntaxEdit1.Lexer = new CsParser();
    }
}

Here is how to use a Outlining in the Visual Basic code:

Partial Public Class Form1
    Inherits Form

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim syntaxEdit1 = New Alternet.Editor.SyntaxEdit(Me.components)
        syntaxEdit1.Outlining.AllowOutlining = True
        syntaxEdit1.Outlining.OutlineOptions = OutlineOptions.DrawOnGutter Or OutlineOptions.DrawLines Or OutlineOptions.DrawButtons Or OutlineOptions.ShowHints
        syntaxEdit1.Lexer = new CsParser()
    End Sub
End Class
