Text Auto-completion

Hi All,

I am developing an xml editor, inwhich I want to include text
auto-completion.
When I finish entering start element (ie.<Hello>) on rich text box,
the end element (ie.</Hello>) should be entered automatically and also
the cursor is automatically positioned in between the start element
and end element(ie.<Hel lo>|</Hello>). How should I do this using C#
for Windows environment?

Thanx in advance.

Regards,
Riath

Riath,

Off the top of my head, you'll need to monitoring changes to the edit box,
checking for ">".
At that point, you should back trace to see if there is a "<" close by (make
sure you know and apply the rules for XML node naming).
If one is found, get the cursor location, and then copy all the text between
the tags, pad with your "</" and ">" and insert the text.
You can then use the cursor location you stored to apply to the text box.

All these operations should be possible with TextBox properties and methods.

Good luck!

Dan.

If the following is displayed in IE6 or FireFox, the text box forces the second DIV to expand beyond its 15em width. Is there a way to have the text box fit within the DIV (preferably without losing its default borders)?

Hi there, I have a problem with some CSS I'm writing and I was looking for a little help. I have a nav bar at the top and left side of my page in CSS which work fine.

I've found that for IE6+, if you add the property text-align:center to a DIV, then *anything* inside it gets centered. That can be a table, an object/embed, another DIV, an image, or some text. Firefox and Safari on the other hand don't treat text-align in that way. In my tests on those browsers, they only centers images and text. Any DIVs, object/embeds or tables remain default unaligned and generally appear on the left. Considering...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
