Hi,
I have developed an editor.If a user types something which is not valid I
want to mark that as an error.How do I do this? I have checked the code
for the XML editor and it is using a SAX Parser.Do I have to design my own
parser or can I use an existing one.
Thanks
Junaid.

Junaid,

You'll want to learn about IMarkers. You can use whatever mechanism
you want for finding locations within your source files. If it's XML,
likely you'll want to use SAX's locator mechanism.

Hi Ed,
Can you give me the url to few examples so that I can learn from them.
Can you tell me how does the java editor marks errors when a semicolon is
missing at the end of a line.
Thanks
Junaid

Junaid,

See the post a few notes down about "How to add a marker without using
resources"? There's good information in that note chain...

As far as I know, the Java editor uses IMarkers. In order to give you a
URL, I would just do some google searches and stuff like that, so it's
probably just as well you do that yourself...
