Features
Caret and Selection Animations (in Edit Mode)
The redesigned control painter enables more responsive and smooth animations.
To disable these effects, use AdvancedModeOptions.AllowCaretAnimation and AdvancedModeOptions.AllowSelectionAnimation properties.
Text Autocompletion (in Edit Mode)
The autocomplete functionality displays suggestions to complete words that a user types in a text editor.
Use the AdvancedModeOptions.AutoCompleteMode property to enable the autocomplete functionality. You can choose one of the following options:
- Suggest
The editor displays a drop-down list with suggestions when a user types the first word in the edit box.
- Append
The editor automatically completes the first entered word in the edit box. The editor uses the first matching suggestion from a source of suggestions.
- SuggestAppend
The editor uses a combination of the Append and Suggest options — it automatically completes the first word in the edit box, and displays a drop-down list with suggestions.
- SuggestSingleWord
The editor displays a drop-down list with custom suggestions every time a user types a new word in the edit box. The editor automatically sets the AutoCompleteSource option to
CustomSourceinSuggestSingleWordmode. Use the CustomizeAutoCompleteSource event, or AutoCompleteCustomSource collection to specify the custom auto-complete suggestions.Note
Only alphanumeric characters are considered “words”. Special characters (other than the hyphen) are considered “word separators”.
Use the AdvancedModeOptions.AutoCompleteSource property to specify the source of autocomplete strings. To supply custom autocomplete strings, set the AutoCompleteSource property to CustomSource, then handle the CustomizeAutoCompleteSource event or populate the AdvancedModeOptions.AutoCompleteCustomSource collection.
Disable Keyboard Shortcuts
Set the AdvancedModeOptions.ShortcutsEnabled property to false to disable all keyboard shortcuts within the editor.
WXI Skin
The WXI vector skin utilizes Advanced Mode to paint rounded editor corners and color accents. Advanced Mode cannot be disabled while this skin is active.
Important
In Advanced Mode or when the WXI Skin is applied, use the Appearance.BackColor property to specify the editor’s background color. Other appearance settings that specify the background color of the editor in different states are ignored (for example, the AppearanceReadOnly.BackColor, AppearanceFocused.BackColor, AppearanceDisabled.BackColor).
