Fork: UI.SyntaxBox

UI.SyntaxBox

Attach syntax highlighting to a WPF TextBox.

The SyntaxBox behavior attaches syntax highlighting capabilities to an existing .NET Framework WPF TextBox. It supports two distinct rule types for syntax syntax recognition, RegexRule and a much faster, custom KeywordRule based on the Aho-Corasick algorithm, all configured directly in XAML.

Here an example of using the SyntaxBox for syntax highlighting ofsomething approximating C# code:

// xmlns:syntax="clr-namespace:UI.SyntaxBox;assembly=UI.SyntaxBox"
// ...
<TextBox 
    x:Name="textBox"
    syntax:SyntaxBox.Enable="True"
    syntax:SyntaxBox.ExpandTabs="True"
    syntax:SyntaxBox.AutoIndent="True"
    syntax:SyntaxBox.ShowLineNumbers="True"
    syntax:SyntaxBox.LineNumbersBackground="LightGray"
    syntax:SyntaxBox.LineNumbersForeground="SlateGray"            
    AcceptsReturn="True" 
    AcceptsTab="True"
    VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
    HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
    Padding="0,0,0,0"
    FontFamily="Consolas"
    FontSize="11pt">
