How to get and set value of Monaco editor inside a WPF application

Question

How do I take Monaco editor text, and use it in the C# application as a string?

Answer 1

Assuming you have already followed the instructions to How to use Monaco editor in a WPF application, then you can use javascript editor.GetValue and editor.setValue functions to work with the editor.

For example, to get the value of the editor:

var value = await webView21.ExecuteScriptAsync("editor.getValue();");  
MessageBox.Show(value);  

Or to set the value of the editor:

await webView21.ExecuteScriptAsync("editor.setValue('Hi!');");  

Note:

• Use Monaco editor documentations to learn more about supported API.
• Use Monaco editor playground and learn how to use javascript api of the editor.
• Then use WebView.ExecuteScreipAsync to run the scripts.
