Fold Lines after the first line

[davidbuckleyni]

I have an xml document am trying to use the FoldAction .Contract but its also folding the subitems into one line closing the root node i want the root node to stay open which is at line one of my document but the items within to be collapsed is their a way to say not collapse the root?

[davidbuckleyni]

In fact it doesnt even coaplse the child items after some testing the folder nodes are open when i click the root node to expand again. I want the child items to remain closed.

I see the code here also for markers but this doesnt appear to work when you have folds as well.

So you are trying to achieve this (?):

Yes also I have an issue with duplication book marks showing yes that correct but i still need to collapse the root node then when it expands the sub items should be still closed exaclty how notepad ++ which is open source and using the same works am programming in c# btw @VPKSoft

I also would like my folder plus minus to show more like this

By that i mean only on the root nodes if that is is possble

The screen captures I took are from a library for creating lexers for ScintillaNET, see ScintillaLexers. The folding for XML is implemented for XML in the library with many others in C#. I don't know about the vertical line though.

Can u still keep the root node with a plus beside it in ur example theirs not @VPKSoft i wonder how notepad plus plus does it as it using same editor.

[davidbuckleyni]

I got it sorted only thing is appears to be a gap between my bookmarks and my folding also my book mark is tiny small not same size as notepad++ any ideas, its almost 3 pixels in size real tichy i have line number,book mark, what appears to be a blank space then the folding.

i STILL HAVE not got this fixed but ur docs is very confusing i only want the folding out of your program can you help for xml

For anyone else doing this in another project you have to do something like this.

foreach (var scintillaLine in editorControl1.Lines)
 {
                scintillaLine.FoldLine(FoldAction.Contract);
  }

And to Unfold

foreach (var scintillaLine in editorControl1.Lines)
 {
                scintillaLine.FoldLine(FoldAction.Expand;
  }
