Outlining (Managed Package Framework)

Outlining makes it possible to collapse a complex program into an overview or outline. For example, in C# all methods can be collapsed to a single line, showing only the method signature. In addition, structures and classes can be collapsed to show only the names of the structures and classes. Inside a single method, complex logic can be collapsed to show the overall flow by showing only the first line of statements such as foreach, if, and while.

Enabling Support for Outlining

The AutoOutlining registry entry is set to 1 to enable automatic outlining. Automatic outlining sets up a parse of the whole source when a file is loaded or changed in order to identify hidden regions and show the outlining glyphs. Outlining can also be controlled manually by the user.

The value of the AutoOutlining registry entry can be obtained through the AutoOutlining property on the LanguagePreferences class. The AutoOutlining registry entry can be initialized with a named parameter to the ProvideLanguageServiceAttribute attribute (see Registering a Language Service (Managed Package Framework) for details).

The Hidden Region

To provide outlining, your language service must support hidden regions. These are spans of text that can be expanded or collapsed. Hidden regions can be delimited by standard language symbols, such as curly braces, or by custom symbols. For example, C# has a #region/#endregion pair that delimits a hidden region.

Hidden regions are managed by a hidden region manager, which is exposed as the IVsHiddenTextSession interface.

Outlining uses hidden regions the IVsHiddenRegion interface and contain the span of the hidden region, the current visible state, and the banner to be shown when the span is collapsed.

The language service parser uses the AddHiddenRegion method to add a new hidden region with the default behavior for hidden regions, while the AddHiddenRegion method allows you to customize the appearance and behavior of the outline. Once hidden regions are given to the hidden region session, Visual Studio manages the hidden regions for the language service.

If you need to determine when the hidden region session is destroyed, a hidden region is changed, or you need to make sure a particular hidden region is visible; you must derive a class from the Source class and override the appropriate methods, OnBeforeSessionEnd, OnHiddenRegionChange, and MakeBaseSpanVisible, respectively.

Example

Here is a simplified example of creating hidden regions for all pairs of curly braces. It is assumed that the language provides brace matching, and that the braces to be matched include at least the curly braces ({ and }). This approach is for illustrative purposes only. A full implementation would have a complete handling of cases in ParseSource. This example also shows how to set the AutoOutlining preference to true temporarily. An alternative is to specify the AutoOutlining named parameter in the ProvideLanguageServiceAttribute attribute in your language package.

This example assumes C# rules for comments, strings, and literals.
