Force Indentation of multiple lines to cause only one TextChanged Event?

[Charly Dante]

Hi there,

I have a question: At the moment use the Scintilla Event SCN_MODIFIED to
apply some extra stuff to the code when typing. This extra logic is
computational relatively expensive. Not so expensive that it is a problem
during normal typing, but I realized that it is a problem when using TAB or
Shift-TAB to move the indentation level of the current line.

This is because if I select many lines (like 100 lines for example) and
then hit TAB, the SCN_MODIFIED Event gets fired 100 times, which results in
a noticeable lag.

Therefore my question is: Is there some possibility to only fire this event
at the end of concatenated edit-actions? So that it only gets fired after
changing the indentation of the last line?

Best Regards,
CD

There is no support for this. You should not be performing your logic synchronously in a SCN_MODIFIED handler but should queue yourself an event and process the event(s) in idle time.
