I'm new to VS extension development. I'm currently working with the text adornment sample in VS 2015 and have been able to get coloured boxes showing correctly. Now I want to extend the sample so the adornment only appears on certain file names.
Googling has said I can use ITextDocumentFactoryService.TryGetTextDocument
interface with the IWpfTextView.TextBuffer
property to get a filename. This sounds great. But I can't seem to actually get the interface.
In my class I have:
[Import]
public ITextDocumentFactoryService TextDocumentFactoryService = null;
But it is always NULL.
How can I get ITextDocumentFactoryService
?
namespace Test
{
internal sealed class TestAdornment
{
[Import]
public ITextDocumentFactoryService TextDocumentFactoryService = null;
public TestAdornment(IWpfTextView view)
{
}
/// <summary>
/// Adds the scarlet box behind the 'a' characters within the given line
/// </summary>
/// <param name="line">Line to add the adornments</param>
private void CreateVisuals(ITextViewLine line)
{
// TextDocumentFactoryService is NULL
}
}
}
TextAdornmentTextViewCreationListener.cs
[Export(typeof(IWpfTextViewCreationListener))]
[ContentType("text")]
[TextViewRole(PredefinedTextViewRoles.Document)]
internal sealed class TextAdornmentTextViewCreationListener : IWpfTextViewCreationListener
{
[Import]
public ITextDocumentFactoryService textDocumentFactory { get; set; }
//...
public void TextViewCreated(IWpfTextView textView)
{
new TextAdornment(textView, textDocumentFactory);
}
}
TextAdornment.cs
internal sealed class TextAdornment
{
private readonly ITextDocumentFactoryService textDocumentFactory;
private ITextDocument TextDocument;
//...
public TextAdornment(IWpfTextView view, ITextDocumentFactoryService textDocumentFactory)
{
//...
this.textDocumentFactory = textDocumentFactory;
//...
}
internal void OnLayoutChanged(object sender, TextViewLayoutChangedEventArgs e)
{
var res = this.textDocumentFactory.TryGetTextDocument(this.view.TextBuffer, out this.TextDocument);
if (res)
{
//this.TextDocument.FilePath;
}
else
{
//ERROR
}
}
}
You got it via dependency injection.
As you only submitted 2 lines of code I suppose your context is set up, either explicitly by you, either implicitly by some environment who calls your code.
- You should declare property instead of field
- It should be public
Then automagically big brother will set it for you before you first access to it.
...or...
You can use constructor injection instead. Note: It is not you who will create your class.
private readonly ITextDocumentFactoryService _textDocumentFactoryService;
[ImportingConstructor]
internal YourClass(ITextDocumentFactoryService textDocumentFactoryService)
{
_textDocumentFactoryService = textDocumentFactoryService;
}
So in my case I needed to put the import statement into the AdornmentTextViewCreationListener. This implements IWpfTextViewCreationListener and is the one with the following decorating the class.
[Export(typeof(IWpfTextViewCreationListener))]
[ContentType("text")]
[TextViewRole(PredefinedTextViewRoles.Document)]
Then I can add
private readonly ITextDocumentFactoryService _textDocumentFactoryService;
[ImportingConstructor]
to my class
