CompoundAction Class

Definition

Important

This API is not CLS-compliant.

This class can be used in a using statement to open and close a compound edit action via IVsCompoundAction interface. Be sure to call Close() at the end of your using statement, otherwise Dispose will call Abort.

Examples

This example shows how to use the CompoundAction class. This example inserts a list of words at the current location in the source file. Without the CompoundAction object, each of these insertions is treated as a separate edit event and requires a separate undo operation. However, with the CompoundAction object, the entire list can be undone with a single undo operation.

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Package  

namespace MyLanguagePackage  
{  
    class CMyLanguageService : LanguageService  
    {  
        // Insert the list of words, one per line.  
        void InsertWords(Source src,string[] wordList)  
        {  
            if (LastActiveTextView != null)  
            {  
                CompoundAction action = new CompoundAction(src,"Update source");  
                using (action)  
                {  
                    int currentLine = 0;  
                    int currentCol = 0;  
                    LastActiveTextView.GetCaretPos(out currentLine, out currentCol);  
                    // Insert list in reverse so the words appear in the proper  
                    // order in the sourec file.  
                    for (int i = wordList.Length - 1, i >= 0; i--)  
                    {  
                        string w = wordList[i] + "\n";  
                        src.SetText(currentLine, currentCol, currentLine, currentCol, w);  
                    }  
                }  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}  

Remarks

This class is used to simplify wrapping a collection of edit operations into a single undoable event. This is achieved by calling the OpenCompoundAction method on the IVsCompoundAction interface that is obtained from the current IVsTextLines object stored in the Source object. When this class is disposed off, the IVsCompoundAction interface is closed and that commits all the edit events made to the IVsTextLines object as a single operation.

Notes to Inheritors

This class contains everything necessary to open a compound action given a Source object and to close that action when this class is disposed off.

Notes to Callers

Instantiate a CompoundAction object with the Source object when you need to wrap one or more edit operations that can be undone in a single action. Then perform your edit operations as normal. When the new CompoundAction object is disposed of, the edit operations are stored as a single action.

If you have access to the IVsTextView object, use CompoundViewAction class instead as it allows the text view to optimize the edits so only the final result is seen by the user.
