Editor Pane in IWpfTextView is not Editable

I am trying to create a Visual Studio extension that will open a document window containing a custom control of mine that hosts an editor pane. I can get the document to load, the correct content type loads with my custom content extensions (classifier, quick info), a window with my custom control showing the editor pane loads, but the text cannot be modified. I can select and highlight text, but no keys work, no commands, and no mouse input other than text selection.
The following is what I have in my Package class:
[PackageRegistration(UseManagedResourcesOnly = true, AllowsBackgroundLoading = true)]
[ProvideEditorExtension(typeof(MyCustomEditorFactory), ".cust")]
[Guid(MyCustomExtensionsPackage.PackageGuidString)]
public sealed class MyCustomExtensionsPackage : AsyncPackage
{
public const string PackageGuidString = "ec2c4646-d0cc-42c6-b0a6-d0ff3e318cef";
#region Package Members
protected override async Task InitializeAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress<ServiceProgressData> progress)
{
await this.JoinableTaskFactory.SwitchToMainThreadAsync(cancellationToken);
RegisterEditorFactory(new MyCustomEditorFactory(this));
}
#endregion
}
I have verified that the RegisterEditorFactory method is called, and that my editor factory is called when files with the .cust extension are opened.
The following is my editor factory:

There's a lot to unpack there, but ultimately I'm just
Creating an IVsTextBuffer from an IVsEditorAdaptersFactoryService
Loading the contents of the text buffer
Creating an IWpfTextView with the IVsTextBuffer from a ITextEditorFactoryService
Creating an IWpfTextViewHost with the IWpfTextView from the same ITextEditorFactoryService
Creating my my custom window pane and passing in the IWpfTextViewHost
Returning the IVsTextBuffer as the document data and my custom window pane as the document view
My custom window pane code is simply:
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Editor;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[ComVisible(true)]
public sealed class MyCustomEditor : WindowPane
{
private IWpfTextViewHost _wpfHost;
public MyCustomEditor(IWpfTextViewHost wpfHost)
{
_wpfHost = wpfHost;
Content = new MyCustomEditorControl(wpfHost.HostControl);
}
}
I've omitted the code for the MyCustomEditorControl for the sake of brevity, but just assume it's a simple WPF UserControl with a ContentPresenter. The constructor just sets Content property of the ContentPresenter with the wpfHost.HostControl that's passed in.
All of this works insofar as displaying the contents of a file, but I just can't edit anything. It's like the input bindings aren't wired up or enabled, but I can't find what properties to set or enable on which objects, and the documentation is rather poor on this topic. I've gone through the Visual Studio extensions walkthroughs on MSDN, but it seems to be a mish-mash of pre-WPF and post-WPF APIs with no clear guidance on what the authoritative approach is.
Admittedly, I may be naive in assuming that the IWpfTextView would automatically handle user input, but in my defense it's created from an ITextEditorFactoryService and having "TextEditor" in the name carries certain implications.
I'm going to go through a rather exhaustive list of things I've tried and checked to hopefully help narrow down the possibilities or where my mistake is:
After the document window is open, I've checked the Running Document Table and there is an entry for it that is automatically created after CreateEditorInstance exits. It links to the data buffer that's returned, the correct file path, and has an edit lock but no read lock. I've inspected the RDT when C# files are opened in a normal editor window and those have read and write locks. I tried manually setting a read lock on the RDT as well, the counter increments, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
I've inspected the return result from ITextBuffer.CheckEditAccess on the data buffer and it returns true so the text buffer is reporting it's editable.
The textview roles DO have an effect on the final rendered IWpfTextViewHost. If I add or omit roles, the appearance and functionality changes. For example, adding or removing "ZOOMABLE" adds or removes the dropdown box with the control zoom level. However, "EDITABLE" has no effect on editability.
The editor options DO have an effect. For example, adding or removing the line number margin options does show/hide the line numbers. However, ViewProhibitUserInputName has no effect on editability.
I don't create a code window with CreateVsCodeWindowAdapter because the resulting IWpfTextViewHost that can be retrieved from GetWpfTextViewHost is already parented to another control. If I disconnect it with (IWpfTextViewHost.HostControl.Parent as Border).Child = null, then the contents of IWpfTextViewHost.HostControl gets disposed of for some reason. The IWpfTextViewHost.HostControl loads and it displays a window with margins and scrollbars, but the content is blank and if I click into the left margin of the content pane then Visual Studio throws an ObjectDisposedException. Please note I'm not nulling out the host control itself or its contents, I'm only telling its existing parent it no longer has a child.
I've inspected the editor GUID property of the IVsWindowFrame that opens my document and it's set to the value returned in the pguidCmdUI parameter, which I believe is correct.
I'm not certain if the value being set for the pguidCmdUI parameter in the editor factory CreateEditorInstance is correct. I'm aware it's used for command routing, which might explain why I can't type or use the mouse, but I'm not sure what the correct value should be. I read somewhere it's supposed to be the GUID of the factory that created the editor, so I set it to the text editor factory GUID since that's what created the IWpfTextView. I tried setting it to my editor factory GUID at the top of the file, as well as typeof(IWpfTextView).GUID, Guid.Empty, and assorted other GUIDs, but there's no change.
If I pass my IWpfTextView into IVsEditorAdapterFactoryService.GetViewAdapter, I get back null.
If I create a IVsTextView from IVsEditorAdapterFactoryService.CreateVsTextViewAdapter, I can have both an IVsTextView and an IWpfTextView, but the two don't know about each other and I don't know see any way to map them. I don't even know if they need to be mapped, or if IVsTextView needs to exist or is just the legacy text view interface.
When I inspect the created IVsTextView, it's base type is a SimpleTextViewWindow that is an undocumented class that's internal to Microsoft's Visual Studio implementation, it has WpfTextView and WpfTextViewHost properties, but they're both null (or throw an exception that they can't be read) and are unsettable. Microsoft obviously has some internal voodoo magic to map IVsTextViews to WpfTextViews in their own code, but I don't know what it is.
I'm aware of other code samples that create an IVsInvisibleEditor and get the data buffer from that, but that seems kind of hacky. I mean, it technically works and no one seems to know of any alternative because the documentation in this area is so poor, so I'm not judging or criticizing, it just seems like that shouldn't be necessary. It's my (possibly incorrect) understanding that an invisible editor is a virtual editor that is created for documents that are opened in memory but not hosted in a window, but I'm hosting mine in a window. Additionally all of the working code samples I could find are all copy/pasting from the same Microsoft VSIX code example. In that example, the virtual editor is created in a tool window that's created under the assumption that a document is already open in an existing editor window. So that tool window is creating a virtual editor side-by-side to a physical one for a tool window. If I follow the same invisible editor approach, then I'm effectively creating a virtual editor in memory and then a second physical document editor window. So basically, I'm creating two editors for one document. That doesn't seem right. Again, it technically works, but it seems off.
If the expectation is that we have to implement IOleCommandTarget on our editor window and manually handle every single keystroke, shortcut, and mouse button and manipulate the underlying text buffer directly, then that is going to be the most depressing thing ever. That would mean they tout being able to use WPF, but then give us a document view without a WPF control that natively handles text editing even though they exist in the framework.
Sorry for the ridiculously long post, but I wanted to provide as much information as I possibly could about where I'm at and what I've tried.

How to open a browser and keep it open between coded UI tests in Visual Studio 2017 using C#

I am trying to make some coded UI tests to help automate some of the manual testing at the company I work at. I am pretty new to the CUIT part of visual studio, but I feel like I am figuring it out. However I am having an issue with the testing thread being closed before the other tests run.
So I want to make this testing fully automated, as in, all the developer will need to do is to click "Run all" and they will all run automatically. The problem that I am having is that the very first test needs to launch Internet Explorer, go to a website, and log into the website. The rest of the tests are based off of being logged into the system. However, after the first test, the browser closes and gets killed along with the first test method.
Any advice on this would be great, I have searched online for some answers but a lot are for very old versions of visual studio, and the ones I have tried don't work.
Thank you.
Edit: So inside each class lets say "CodedUITest1.cs", I can use the same browser in each of the [Test Method]s that I have in that class (as someone suggested below). The issue I have is that if I want a different test class to test different functionality, "CodedUITest2.cs", the browser will close when the first class finishes its tests.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, then This code segment should work for you:
BrowserWindow window;
[TestMethod]
public void Method1()
{
window = BrowserWindow.Launch(new Uri("http://www.bing.com"));
window.CloseOnPlaybackCleanup = false;
}
[TestMethod]
public void Method2()
{
window = BrowserWindow.Locate("Bing");
window.CloseOnPlaybackCleanup = false;
}
[TestMethod]
public void Method3()
{
window = BrowserWindow.Locate("Bing");
}
After reading the new info of this question, I have tested the code a bit. If you want to keep the browser open between CodeUITes1.cs and CodedUITest2.cs, then the following code segment may help you. It is adopted from the following link: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2012/11/08/coded-ui-test-why-does-application-close-after-each-test-in-visual-studio-2012/
File: CodedUITest1.cs
public class CodedUITest1
{
static BrowserWindow browserWindowInstance = null;
public void LoadLocalHost()
{
if (browserWindowInstance == null)
{
browserWindowInstance = BrowserWindow.Launch(new System.Uri("YourWebSiteAddress"));
browserWindowInstance.CloseOnPlaybackCleanup = false;
browserWindowInstance.Maximized = !browserWindowInstance.Maximized;
}
else
{
browserWindowInstance.Maximized = !browserWindowInstance.Maximized;
}
}
[TestMethod]
public void CodedUITestMethod1()
{
LoadLocalHost();
// To generate code for this test, select "Generate Code for Coded UI Test" from the shortcut menu and select one of the menu items.
this.UIMap.ClickNewsAndEvents();
}
CodedUITest2.cs file:
[TestMethod]
public void CodedUITestMethod2()
{
CodedUITest1 obj1 = new CodedUITest1();
obj1.LoadLocalHost();
// To generate code for this test, select "Generate Code for Coded UI Test" from the shortcut menu and select one of the menu items.
this.UIMap.ClickNewsPage();
}
You can add more CodedUITest classes. Just create a new object like obj1 in the code sample of CodedUITest2 class, and use LoadLocalHost() method that resides in CodedUITest1.class from any subsequent classes. Hoping this will resolve your problem.

Parse.com Android Unity Nothing works not even the test object

I have just started using Parse.com On Unity 5.0.0fb, and after getting my application to work with Parse on Unity Editor I decided to try it on my Mobile to find nothing works. I have checked the APK and Parse is inside it but when I try anything it does not work.
I have tested this with a Test APK with nothing but parse and the test script attached to a button and it also does not work.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Parse;
public class ScriptTest : MonoBehaviour {
public UnityEngine.UI.Text Mytext;
string mytext;
// Use this for initialization
public void MySpecial () {
ParseObject testObject = new ParseObject("TestObject");
testObject["foo"] = "bar";
testObject.SaveAsync();
mytext = "Saved";
Mytext.text = mytext;
Debug.Log (mytext);
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
}
}
It will not do anything the button will click it will say saved on my text but when I check parse TestObject nothing will be there. Is there something im missing in my build?
I have made sure stripping is also disabled.
This works 100% in editor just not in Android I have no idea or way to test iOS.

I have the exact same problem, using Unity 5.1 and Parse Unity SDK 1.5.1. It works perfectly in the editor but not on Android.
Here's my code :
ParseObject _localPlayer = new ParseObject();
Task query = _localPlayer.SaveAsync();
while (!query.IsCompleted)
yield return null;
if (!query.IsFaulted && !query.IsCanceled)
{
Debug.Log ("Player successfully created!");
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Failed to create player...");
}
The task generated with the SaveAsync() request doesn't seem to end at all (isCompleted is never true) so it becomes an infinite loop, and the actual cloud operation is not performed (no trace on the Parse dashboard). There doesn't seem to be any exception thrown and the device log doesn't show anything.
I'm really stuck at this point and haven't be able to find any solution anywhere on the web so far. :(

Using Parse SDK 1.3.2 "fixes" the issue.
-> https://parse.com/downloads/windows/Parse/1.3.2
Looks like a big fat regression. ;)

Going back to Parse Unity SDK 1.3.2 worked for me.
LogOutAsync() had to be replaced with LogOut(), but that was the only change I had to make in my code.

The solution to this problem is to reimport project settings from their blank project. It will fix any build problems you have.

Make VS jump to line x in editor

Im writing a policy plugin for VS which checks several issues with the code. If an issue occurs it will be displayed in the policy warnings tab. Now I want to jump to the line where the issue occurs in the editor when I double click it in the policy warning tab. How can I do that?
namespace PolicyPlugin
{
[Serializable]
public class MyPolicyPlugin : PolicyBase
{
//...
//called if the user clicks on a policy warning
public override void Activate(PolicyFailure failure)
{
// make jump to line x
}
}
}
Thanks!

You could try to get DTE automation object first:
EnvDTE.DTE dte = (EnvDTE.DTE)Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE));
or use alternative ways to get it.
An then execute standard command (that's what happens when you press CTRL+G in Visual Studio)
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.Goto", "1234")
Note: I'm not sure about exact ExecuteCommand method signature. Also you can manipulate IDE the same way for other commands.

Silverlight C# - ComponentOne Spellchecker not loading dictionary

This may be a long shot, but I'm using ComponentOne's Spellchecker control for Silverlight. I made a test project, added a plain textbox and a button to it, added the references to the C1.Silverlight and C1.Silverlight.SpellChecker bits, and added the dictionary file to my project.
In the code, I called up the spellchecker on button1's click event and it worked SPLENDIDLY. The spellchecker dialog shows up, and works exactly as it should.
Since that test was successful, I then tried to implement this into my existing project. I've had no success for absolutely NO reason that I can determine, since I used the EXACT SAME code.
Here's the code I use to call the component:
using C1.Silverlight;
using C1.Silverlight.SpellChecker;
using C1.Silverlight.Resources;
public partial class MainPage : UserControl
{
C1SpellChecker spellChecker = new C1SpellChecker();
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
spellChecker.MainDictionary.LoadAsync("C1Spell_en-US.dct");
}
private void btnSpelling_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var dlg = new C1SpellDialog();
spellChecker.CheckControlAsync(txtArticle, false, dlg);
}
The references to C1.Silverlight and C1.Silverlight.Spellchecker are added to this project as well, and the dictionary as been added in the same fashion as well. The issue seems to be that for whatever reason the dictionary is not loading, because the spellChecker.Enabled method returns whether or not the main dictionary has been loaded. If I call MessageBox.Show("SpellChecker Enabled = " + spellChecker.Enabled.ToString()); it shows false, even though the call to load the dictionary is there (as you can see).
What would cause the dictionary to not load? Have I added it to my project incorrectly somehow?
EDIT: I suspect that I have added the dictionary to the project incorrectly, because the ComponentOne reference states:
If C1SpellChecker cannot find the
spelling dictionary, it will not throw
any exceptions. The Enabled property
will be set to false and the component
will not be able to spell-check any
text.
I just don't know what's wrong though because it was added in the same way that it was in the test project (Right clicked on the project.web->Add->Existing Item)
As always, thank you!
-Sootah

You could add the dictionary to the Silverlight app as an embedded resource and then load it using this code:
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
// load C1SpellChecker dictionary from embedded resource
var asm = this.GetType().Assembly;
foreach (var res in asm.GetManifestResourceNames())
{
if (res.EndsWith(".dct"))
{
using (var s = asm.GetManifestResourceStream(res))
{
sc.MainDictionary.Load(s);
break;
}
}
}
}

I think this post is duplicated in our forum as well, but will answer first here. Please try this:
1) Try to access the .dct file using your browser. If you cannot see it, it's probably because your web server is not serving that type of files. You need ton configure the web server to allow it.
2) verify the URL you are using is correct.http://helpcentral.componentone.com/CS/silverlight_161/f/78/p/86955/241328.aspx#241328
3) Check you are setting everything correctly: http://helpcentral.componentone.com/CS/silverlight_161/f/78/p/81924/227790.aspx#227790
Hope this helps!
