[SynEdit] How to make markups move with editing the text?

[Pascal]

Hallo,

is it possible to make the markups move with the editied text. For example when lines are inserted or text is entered inside a makup?
Like the IDE does with error markups?

I've created my own markups derived from TSynEditMarkupHighlightMatches. But they do not move with the text.

There is no code in the Markup tat does this for you.

The Markup receives a call to:

Code: [Select]

procedure TSynEditMarkup.DoTextChanged(StartLine, EndLine, ACountDiff: Integer);
This allows you to
1) Recreate the matches in the affected lines
2) Move up/down any matches after the lines affected.


If you need a more exact notification what was edited, in order to move items on a line left/right, then you can add a hook to

Code: [Select]

  Lines.AddEditHandler(@DoLinesEdited);
see components\synedit\synpluginmulticaret.pp
for how to do that.(It is rather tricky, as you need to also catch senrTextBufferChanged, and re-register. (subject to change in future...)

Given the common nature of the issue, there probably should be a baseclass to do that. But currently there is not.
