In my application, I am not seeing line numbers on lines that have TGutterObjects on them. This holds true for lines that have any gutter painting like the collapse/expand box for a code folding section. Is there a setting or something that I need to change to get line numbers for every line?

Thanks.

To control this use TSyntaxMemo.LineNumbers.UnderColor - color of line numbers
when there are objects on the gutter on the line.

When UnderColor = clNone, line numbers are not displayed in lines that has any additional images on gutter.

To make line numbers always visible set

The line numbers are then displayed behind the gutter image. Is there a way to have gutter images start just to the right of the line numbers so that both are visible? See image... [img]http://www.nator.net/Image.bmp[/img]

Thanks.

I figured it out. I remembered you mentioning that I can add a TGutterObject with Collection = nil in the OnGetGutterImage. Doing so allowed me to put a dummy gutter object there that had ImageIndex = -1. That is just enough of a placeholder to make it look good.

Thanks.

I think the answer is in the bands property - you can place them wherever
you like with bands.

I have played with this and missing one line number doesn't look too bad; a
few at a time may look a little sparse. It gets really interesting when the
source has over 1000 lines and you want to use a gutter object also.

I only noticed when playing around with all this that Delphi (in my current
setup) does not display line numbers at all. Weird.

If a source file has 1000+ lines, and you want both line numbers AND a
GutterImage to appear, would you

* make the line number font smaller
* increase the gutter width?

I think it will be nice feature TLineNumbers.BandAutoSize property that will change the width of line numbers band depending on line number string (that may be not only a number, but any string set using event hendker) of displayed lines.

If you want to trace this feature add it to mantis.
