How to clone/deep copy a StyledString? [message #691274] Fri, 01 July 2011 06:44 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm working on a subwords completion engine for JDT.

I'd like to get a copy of a StyledString but couldn't find simple means to do that. Is there any API that copies an existing StyledString including its style ranges?

StyledText doesn't support clone() nor has a constructor that takes another StyledString as template. Thus, I tried to use #getStyleRanges() but this seems to be not a great solution:

        StyledString copy = new StyledString(displayString.getString());
        for (StyleRange range : displayString.getStyleRanges()) {
            copy.setStyle(range.start, range.length, new Styler() {

                @Override
                public void applyStyles(TextStyle textStyle) {
                    // copy values from style range and apply them here again? Seems odd and tedious
                }
            });
        }


Does anyone have an idea or code that copies a StyledString?

Thanks for hints!
Marcel

Hi Marcel,

probably not the most convenient solution, but I'd try to access the
StyleRunList reflectivly, clone that one and assign the new list to the
private field of the new StyledString.

Regards,
Sebastian
