Add AutoEditStrategy to my Source Viewer [message #492817]

Hi, I am trying to change the default auto-indent behavior of an AbstractDecoratedTextEditor. I need to do things like increasing the indentation when the cursor is after an opening bracket { and the user inserts a new line.

To do this I implemented my own IAutoEditStrategy and added the following code in the method createSourceViewer in my subclass of AbstractDecoratedTextEditor:

ISourceViewer viewer = super.createSourceViewer(parent, ruler, styles);
ITextViewerExtension2 viewerExt2 = (ITextViewerExtension2) viewer;
viewerExt2.prependAutoEditStrategy(new TestScriptAutoIndentStrategy(), IDocument.DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE);
return viewer;

Nevertheless this is not working. Method customizeDocumentCommand in my IAutoEditStrategy is never called. I tried to search through Eclipse source code to determine how is the default IAutoEditStrategy created and/or assigned to the viewer but couldn't find anything.

Thanks.

This will most likely be overwritten when the viewer is configured. Take
a look at:
org.eclipse.jface.text.source.SourceViewerConfiguration.getA utoEditStrategies(ISourceViewer,
String)

Thanks a lot Dani, I changed getAutoEditStrategies in my SourceViewerConfiguration class and that worked.
