[QScintilla] Fw: setAutoIndentStyle doesn't work

[kristof.mulier at telenet.be]

Hi Phil and Matic, 

I have adapted the "MyLexer" code according to your mails. I've added the "blockStart" and "blockEnd" functions: 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
class MyLexer(QsciLexerCustom): 

def __init__ ( self , parent): 
super (MyLexer, self ). __init__ (parent) 

# Initialize styles 
# ---------------------------- 
self .setColor(QColor( "#ff000000" ), 0 ) # Style 0: black 
self .setColor(QColor( "#ff7f0000" ), 1 ) # Style 1: red 
self .setColor(QColor( "#ff0000bf" ), 2 ) # Style 2: blue 
self .setColor(QColor( "#ff007f00" ), 3 ) # Style 3: green 
[...] 

# Auto indent 
# ------------ 
#self.setAutoIndentStyle(QsciScintilla.AiOpening | QsciScintilla.AiClosing) 
self .setAutoIndentStyle(QsciScintilla.AiMaintain) 

'''''' 

def blockStart( self ): 
# Define space separated string of indentation symbols 
return "{ ( :" 
'''''' 

def blockEnd( self ): 
# Define space separated string of indentation symbols 
return "} )" 
'''''' 

[...] 

''' End class ''' 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. Do you have any idea why? 
Thank you very much for your help. Please feel free to post your answers on the StackOverflow question:

In this way, many more people can benefit from it ;-) 

Kind greetings,

You have two options to switch on this feature: (1) call the function setAutoIndent(True) on the QsciScintilla editor or (2) call the function setAutoIndentStyle(..) on the lexer.

Hey Phil, 




Tried implementing blockStart() and blockEnd() , but it throws a TypeError if using for example: 
[ https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/qscintilla ] 


def blockStart(self): 
return "{" 

def blockEnd(self): 
return "}" 



With a bit of trial&error I found that the methods need to return a tuple of (bytes, int). Why? 

Thanks, 
Matic
