Auto-Indent in scintilla

[Anas Chakfeh]

Hello,

Have anyone done auto-indentation for any C-like language?
I am trying to auto indent c code, but it is proving troublesome.

Thanks

I use this with wxStyledTextCtrl (wrapper around scintilla) catching event
where charcter is added. Feel free to adopt to your Component

chr = get_typed_character_some_how();

if(chr == '\n' || chr == '\r')
{
//Now time to deal with auto indenting
int lineInd = 0;

if(currentLine > 0)
{
lineInd = GetLineIndentation(currentLine - 1);
}

if(lineInd != 0) // NOT in the beginning
{
SetLineIndentation(currentLine, lineInd);
GotoPos(PositionFromLine(currentLine) + lineInd);
}
}

GotoPos(PositionFromLine(currentLine) + lineInd);
}
}

Note: caret positioning as above doesn't work with enabled tabs as SETLINEINDENTATION will use a mix of tabs and spaces. In that case you either switch off tabs temporarily or use GETCOLUMN and do some extra calculations to determine the real value for GOTOPOS.
