PSPad syntax and context files - 2020

[Professor_Bernd]

Hello @Jos.

The following screenshot shows a CallTip example in SciTE4AutoIt3.

Currently I am working on a CallTipViewer for PSPad4AutoIt3. The visual component is almost finished and soon it should be filled with text (as soon as I figure out how to do that).

Therefore I would like to convert the current english au3.api and the current german au3.api into AutoIt3.def files for PSPad. In an old thread I read that you have a script to create definition files. Could you provide me with that?

And is there also a script to convert the syntax highlighter file for PSPad? I guess the SciTE4AutoIt3 source file is the au3.keywords.properties, right? The PSPad destination file is the AutoIt3.ini.

I would be very happy if you could provide me with the converter scripts.

Bernd.

We have a set of scripts that performs all required tasks to generate the Autoit3 installer, so it also generates the all AutoIt3 syntax files for several editors including PSPAD.
These files are provided with the AutoIt3 installer and are stored in the Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Extras\Editor.
I can't share the whole set of build scripts plus it requires input files that aren't published and only used  by the build process.

Hi Jos. That's too bad, but I understand.

My AutoIt version is v3.3.14.5 dated 16 March, 2018. Are the files in "...\Extras\Editors\PSPad\" current?

In the attachment I have uploaded the german au3.api. Is it possible to convert it to AutoIt3.def?

These files are always up-to-date with the  definitions of that release as they are generated each build.
The build script does not use the au3.api file as input but rather the files used to build the helpfile, so au3.api is one of the output files. The text you see is retrieved from the helpfile page for that function.

... so I have no script ready to convert it but I am sure you could easily build that with Autoit3 when all information is available.

If a script for converting existed, it would have been unnecessary to create it from scratch. But if there is no finished script, I will try to create one. 

Another consideration is whether I should use the "...\AutoIt3\SciTE\api\au3.api" directly for the CallTips. If a user switches the help files in the SciTE folder to his own language, PSPad would automatically have the same language for the CallTips. Let's see.

As always I thank you for your time and information.

Bernd.
