Supported languages

Hello,
I want to know which languages are supported by the Text Editor Control. Is there a list where you can look which language is supported?
I hope you unterstood my question.

Many thanks,
FlashTek

Re: Supported languages

Hi FlashTek

Regarding Formatting and Folding:
There are special strategies for C#, HLSL and XML. See the namespaces DigitalRune.Windows.TextEditor.Formatting and DigitalRune.Windows.TextEditor.Folding.

Regarding syntax highlighting:
Have a look at the folder DigitalRune.Windows.TextEditor\Resources\. All syntax highlighting definitions are stored in this folder. The file
DigitalRune.Windows.TextEditor\Resources\SyntaxModes.xml contains a list of supported syntax highlightings.

Re: Supported languages

Hello.

Can I have a suggestion to add a new language? I need it to add an ISO language in my application.
I have added my classes in the Formatting and Folding sections, I've seen I need to add the new language definition in the Resources and indicate the .xshd file in syntaxmodes.xml...
...To be honest I did a bit of confusion! And it doesn't work! There is a procedure to add it in the correct way?

Thank you.
Regards.
Andrea

Re: Supported languages

To add syntax highlighting for a new language, do the following:

Create a new "XML Syntax Highlighting Definition" file (.XSHD). (Sadly there is no documentation how the XSHD files exactly work. I recommend you take an existing XSHD file an adjust the rules and keywords to match the new language.)
Add the XSHD file to the project. Put it in the folder "Resources".
Open the Properties Window in Visual Studio and set the Build Action of the XSHD file to Embedded Resource.
Open the file "SyntaxModes.xml" and add a new "Mode" tag for the new language.
Build the project.
