DesktopScintillaControlMBS.AutoCompleteCurrent as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Scintilla	MBS Scintilla Plugin	22.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	❌ No	Desktop only

Set to select an item in the autocompletion list.

It searches the list of words for the first that matches select. By default, comparisons are case sensitive, but you can change this with AutoCIgnoreCase. The match is character by character for the length of the select string. That is, if select is "Fred" it will match "Frederick" if this is the first item in the list that begins with "Fred". If an item is found, it is selected. If the item is not found, the autocompletion list closes if auto-hide is true (see AutoCAutoHide).
The current selection index can be retrieved with AutoCompleteCurrent.

DesktopScintillaControlMBS.AutoCompleteOrder as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Scintilla	MBS Scintilla Plugin	22.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	❌ No	Desktop only

The default setting kOrderingPreSorted (0) requires that the list be provided in alphabetical sorted order.

Sorting the list can be done by Scintilla instead of the application with kOrderingPerformSort (1). This will take additional time.
Applications that wish to prioritize some values and show the list in order of priority instead of alphabetical order can use kOrderingCustom (2). This requires extra processing in AutoCompleteShow to create a sorted index.
Setting the order should be done before calling AutoCompleteShow.

DesktopScintillaControlMBS.AutomaticFold as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Scintilla	MBS Scintilla Plugin	22.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	❌ No	Desktop only

The automatic folding behavior.

The fundamental operation in folding is making lines invisible or visible. Line visibility is a property of the view rather than the document so each view may be displaying a different set of lines. From the point of view of the user, lines are hidden and displayed using fold points. Generally, the fold points of a document are based on the hierarchical structure of the document contents. In Python, the hierarchy is determined by indentation and in C++ by brace characters. This hierarchy can be represented within a Scintilla document object by attaching a numeric "fold level" to each line. The fold level is most easily set by a lexer, but you can also set it with method.

It is up to your code to set the connection between user actions and folding and unfolding. The best way to see how this is done is to search the SciTE source code for the methods used in this section of the documentation and see how they are used. You will also need to use markers and a folding margin to complete your folding implementation. The "fold" property should be set to "1" with SetProperty("fold", "1") to enable folding.

Instead of implementing all the logic for handling folding in the container, Scintilla can provide behaviour that is adequate for many applications. The automaticFold argument is a bit set defining which of the 3 pieces of folding implementation should be enabled. Most applications should be able to use the kAutomaticFoldShow and kAutomaticFoldChange flags unless they wish to implement quite different behaviour such as defining their own fold structure. kAutomaticFoldClick is more likely to be set off when an application would like to add or change click behaviour such as showing method headers only when Shift+Alt is used in conjunction with a click.
