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

using System.Windows.Forms;

using Alternet.Editor;
using Alternet.Editor.TextSource;

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private TextSource textSource;
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var syntaxEdit = new SyntaxEdit(this.components);
        textSource = new TextSource(this.components);
        textSource.LoadFile("myfile.txt");
        syntaxEdit.Source = this.textSource;
    }

    private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (textSource.CurrentSnippet != null)
            MessageBox.Show(textSource.CurrentSnippet.ID);
    }
}

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

Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports Alternet.Editor
Imports Alternet.Editor.TextSource

Partial Public Class Form1
    Inherits Form

    Private textSource As TextSource

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim syntaxEdit = New SyntaxEdit(Me.components)
        textSource = New TextSource(Me.components)
        textSource.LoadFile("myfile.txt")
        syntaxEdit.Source = Me.textSource
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        If textSource.CurrentSnippet IsNot Nothing Then MessageBox.Show(textSource.CurrentSnippet.ID)
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

Code snippets are ready-made snippets of code you can quickly insert into the text. When the user selects a code snippet from the code snippet list (usually invoked by Ctrl + K + X key combination), the CurrentSnippet property will contain a ICodeSnippetRange object representing a selected code snippet literal.

The user can navigate between code snippet literals right after the code snippet is inserted by pressing the TAB key.
