Problem with syntax highlighting preference page [message #506559] Fri, 08 January 2010 00:07 Go to next message

Hello all,

I've managed to create a preference page for the colors used in the
syntax highlighting for my editor, by an extending
AbstractConfigurationBlockPreferencePage with
PreferencesMessages.DLTKEditorPreferencePage_colors (and an extension of
AbstractScriptEditorColoringConfigurationBlock for the configuration
block).

Everything works fine and dandy, except that I have to reopen the editor
(and, indeed, the preference page for the preview) in order for the
preferences changes to propagate. In other words, the colors stay
unchanged until I close an editor an open it again.

What did I miss?

Kind regards,
Mikołaj Koziarkiewicz

Hi Mikołaj,

Something like the following your ScriptSourceViewerConfiguration should be used to handle preference change events:

public void handlePropertyChangeEvent(PropertyChangeEvent event) {
		if (this.fCodeScanner.affectsBehavior(event)) {
			this.fCodeScanner.adaptToPreferenceChange(event);
		}
		if (this.fStringScanner.affectsBehavior(event)) {
			this.fStringScanner.adaptToPreferenceChange(event);
		}
// etc


Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

thanks for the reply. I've applied the change (and additionally forced
affectsTextPresentation() to return true, analogically to the tutorial),
but unfortunately made no progress.

The adaptToColor() change method does get called and correctly replaces
the TextAttribute of the relevant tokens, but this does not affect the
presentation until the reload is completed.

Any more ideas?

Cheers,
Mikołaj
