[cdt-dev] C hoverhelp / C completion collision
|
Folks, we have a problem.
For several months now, I've been working on a C hoverhelp capability
for CDT. This process gets kicked off when
DefaultCEditorTextHover.getHoverInfo() is invoked. From there, I've
been kicking off my own CTextHoverContributorManager to look up the help
information and return it to getHoverInfo() for display.
The problem is that in the latest CDT, the exact place in the code I've
been using to hook CTextHoverContributorManager is now occupied by
something called CCompletionContributorManager.
Completion and TextHover aren't the same thing. Completion is (I think)
an active request by the user (banging ctrl-something, I think), whereas
TextHover is just passively parking the pointer on a text string. Are
both of these events really supposed to get to getHoverInfo()? If so,
how does getHoverInfo() figure out why it was invoked and, accordingly,
whether to run completion stuff or hoverhelp stuff?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
