Intra-Text Adornment Sample

Provide colored adornments to hexadecimal color values in Visual Studio.

  • Technologies: Visual Studio 2017 SDK
  • Topics: Visual Studio Editor, VSX

Description

This sample Visual Studio 2015 extension uses intra-text adornments to replace six digit hexadecimal values with color swatches. These adornments are shown between text characters, as opposed to behind or in front. Intra-text adornments may optionally replace text. The value of the hexadecimal number corresponds to the color of the swatch.

  • Red = 0xff0000
  • Green = 0x00ff00
  • Blue = 0x0000ff

Clone the repo (How to):

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/VSSDK-Extensibility-Samples.git

Run the sample

  1. To run the sample, hit F5 or choose the Debug > Start Debugging menu command. A new experimental instance of Visual Studio will launch.
  2. Once loaded, open any file in the text editor.
  3. Type a six-digit hexidecimal number.
