DXCore Services – LinkedIdentifiers
Linked Identifiers are a built-in feature of DXCore, which allows you to simultaneously change similar pieces of the text (code) located in different places. The service provides access to the Linked Identifiers engine.
Methods of this service:
Name | Description |
| AddMultiLink | Creates a new multi-document linked identifier. Note that it is hidden from Intellisense. |
| BreakAllLinksInRange | Removes all linked identifiers in the specified source range. |
| CloseMultiLidContainerGroup | Closes IMultiLidContainerGroup opened by the OpenMultiLidContainerGroup method. |
| ConsolidateLinks | Consolidates linked identifiers in the specified array of source ranges. |
| Find | Returns an array of ILinkedIdentifiers from the specified TextDocument entirely contained inside the given range. |
| GetStorage | Returns the ILinkedIdentifierStorage instance for the specified TextDocument. |
| Invalidate | Refreshes the state of all ILinkedIdentifiers in the given TextDocument. This may be required after creating any new ILinkedIdentifiers, to ensure that they are properly highlighted. |
| LockDelete | Call this to keep linked identifiers from being deleted while making text changes. Generally, this will not be required. When finished, call UnlockDelete. |
| NewMultiDocumentContainer | Creates a new multi-document linked identifier container. |
| OpenMultiLidContainerGroup | Opens a new multi-document linked identifier container group. |
| UnlockDelete | Call this after LockDelete to allow linked identifiers to be deleted again. |
Properties:

| ActiveStorage | Gets the ILinkedIdentifierStorage instance for the active TextDocument. |
| Changing | Indicates if the text in the linked identifiers is changing. Note that it is hidden from Intellisense. |
