custom content assist help needed [message #809349]

Hi,

The default content assist gives the correct proposals but I would like to change it string output. I have done custom scoping to get a correct visibility so I don't want to reconstruct all loops etc for content assist because it works in fact out of the box now. Is there an easy way to just change the string outputs of the proposals?

@Override
	public void complete_PredicateTerminal(EObject model, RuleCall ruleCall,
			ContentAssistContext context, ICompletionProposalAcceptor acceptor) {
		// how to easy modify proposal string output from default xtext content assist?
		// using model I need to reconstruct everything so is there no other option?
		super.complete_PredicateTerminal(model, ruleCall, context, acceptor);
	}

Regards,
Phil

Hi,

what do you mean with "string" output? can you give an example what you exactly want to do.

Hi Christian,
like:

acceptor.accept(createCompletionProposal(str_name, str_name,  ns, context));

there the str_name I would like to customize for the default proposals of xtext

for cross refs:

PredicateTerminal:
	predicate=[TypePredDeclaration|FQN] ('(' right=TermTuple? ')')?
;

hi,

what about overriding DefaultProposalCreator and return the sublass in org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.contentassist.AbstractJavaBasedContentProposalProvider.getProposalFactory(String, ContentAssistContext)

Hi Christian, thx DefaultProposalCreator has useful code. So then I'm able to adjust the "apply" method at the line :

result = createCompletionProposal(proposal, displayString, image, contentAssistContext);

, just what I needed.
But how to return the subclass if I can't modify AbstractJavaBasedContentProposalProvider or should I also override it?
Will it not affect other content proposals? I need it for a couple of cross reference proposals but not all of them

Regards,
Phil

Hi,

your proposal provider already extends AbstractJavaBasedContentProposalProvider
