New Post: New Feature: Auto Launch AutoComplete

By default, we have to manually run 'AutoComplete.Show()' in the 'CharAdded' event.

However, I would like to suggest it to be auto-launch.

Default behaviour:

If the AutoComplete.List is empty, AutoComplete will not launch.
If the AutoComplete.List is not empty, it will launch for matched character enter by user.
If the developer want to implement different behaviour, he/she can override the methods or turn it off.

This is the sample codes patch that I can come out with:

This is the original codes of the method of OnCharAdded() in ScintillaNET.Scintilla

///<summary>///     Raises the <see cref="CharAdded"/> event.///</summary>///<param name="e">An <see cref="CharAddedEventArgs"/> that contains the event data.</param>protectedvirtualvoid OnCharAdded(CharAddedEventArgs e)
{
    EventHandler<CharAddedEventArgs> handler = Events[_charAddedEventKey] as EventHandler<CharAddedEventArgs>;
    if (handler != null)
        handler(this, e);

    if (_indentation.SmartIndentType != SmartIndent.None)
        _indentation.CheckSmartIndent(e.Ch);
}

Patches:

private Bool _autoLaunchAutoComplete = true;

public Bool AutoLaunchAutoComplete 
{ 
    get { return _autoLaunchAutoComplete; } 
    set { _autoLaunchAutoComplete = value; } 
}

///<summary>///     Raises the <see cref="CharAdded"/> event.///</summary>///<param name="e">An <see cref="CharAddedEventArgs"/> that contains the event data.</param>protectedvirtualvoid OnCharAdded(CharAddedEventArgs e)
{
    EventHandler<CharAddedEventArgs> handler = Events[_charAddedEventKey] as EventHandler<CharAddedEventArgs>;
    if (handler != null)
        handler(this, e);

    if (_indentation.SmartIndentType != SmartIndent.None)
        _indentation.CheckSmartIndent(e.Ch);

    if (_autoLaunchAutoComplete)
        LaunchAutoComplete();
}

publicvirtualvoid LaunchAutoComplete()
{
    if (this.AutoComplete.List.Count == 0)
        return;

    int pos = this.NativeInterface.GetCurrentPos();
    int length = pos - this.NativeInterface.WordStartPosition(pos, true);
    if (length == 0)
        return;

    this.AutoComplete.Show(length);
}

If the developer don't want automatic launch AutoComplete or he/she want to implement different behaviour, he/she may do this to suspend default behaviour:

ScintillaNET.Scintilla scintilla1 = new ScintillaNET.Scintilla();
scintilla1.AutoLaunchAutoComplete = false;
