如何将按钮插入文件名模板编辑器的文本框

Question

I have ac# winform and I want to create a "File Name Template Form" for users like Adobe Photoshop Lightroom's (below picture and video). How can I design textbox like Lightroom's ones?

I'm not sure that the UI input element is called. It looks a bit like a pills/tags/chips input except each item is also a dropdown. If you know what this input element is called, please edit this post and its title.

I tried it with tokenEdit toolbox of devexpress but it does not meet my demands.

Hmm. With the built-in textbox control, this is not possible (as far as I know). If you want to use this exact format, you are sadly forced to create your own control that has this feature as a possibility.

What id suggest as a quick solution is to have a normal textbox, but then you can type in special text that can be interpreted via string manipulation to give you what you want.

example:

string fileName = "image - [num] [date] [time].jpg"

gets translated like this:

public void TranslateText(ref string text)
{
    text.Replace("[num]", i.ToString());
    text.Replace("[date]", DateTime.Now.Date);
    text.Replace("[time]", DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay);
}
TranslateText(fileName);
