IAsyncCompletionBroker.TriggerCompletion Method

Definition

Overloads

TriggerCompletion(ITextView, CompletionTrigger, SnapshotPoint, CancellationToken)

Activates completion and returns IAsyncCompletionSession. If completion was already active, returns the existing session without changing it. Returns null when token is canceled, there are no participating IAsyncCompletionSources or completion is not applicable at the given triggerLocation. Must be invoked on UI thread. This does not cause the completion popup to appear. To compute available icons and display the UI, call OpenOrUpdate(CompletionTrigger, SnapshotPoint, CancellationToken). Invoke IsCompletionSupported(IContentType) prior to invoking this method to more efficiently verify whether feature is disabled or if there are no completion providers.

TriggerCompletion(ITextView, SnapshotPoint, Char, CancellationToken)

Activates completion and returns IAsyncCompletionSession. If completion was already active, returns the existing session without changing it. Must be invoked on UI thread. This does not cause the completion popup to appear. To compute available icons and display the UI, call OpenOrUpdate(InitialTrigger, SnapshotPoint, CancellationToken).

Public Function TriggerCompletion (textView As ITextView, trigger As CompletionTrigger, triggerLocation As SnapshotPoint, token As CancellationToken) As IAsyncCompletionSession

Parameters

textView
ITextView

View that hosts completion and relevant buffers

trigger
CompletionTrigger

What causes this completion, potentially including character typed by the user and snapshot before the text edit.

triggerLocation
SnapshotPoint

Location of completion on the view's data buffer: TextBuffer. Used to pick relevant IAsyncCompletionSources and IAsyncCompletionItemManager

token
CancellationToken

Cancellation token that may interrupt this operation, despite running on the UI thread

Returns

Returns existing IAsyncCompletionSession if one already exists Returns null if the completion feature is disabled or if there are no applicable completion providers. Invoke IsCompletionSupported(IContentType) prior to invoking this method to perform this check more efficiently. Returns null if applicable IAsyncCompletionSources determine that completion is not applicable at the given triggerLocation. Returns a new IAsyncCompletionSession. Invoke OpenOrUpdate(CompletionTrigger, SnapshotPoint, CancellationToken) to compute and display the available completions.
