Examples

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

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");
        textSource.Overwrite = true;

        syntaxEdit.Source = this.textSource;
    }
}

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

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")
        textSource.Overwrite = True

        syntaxEdit.Source = Me.textSource
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

Overwrite toggles automatically when the user presses the INSERT key. When Overwrite mode is on, typing text in the linked SyntaxEdit control overwrites already existing text.
