Josbe Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Nice. I like the Font Dialog. Remarks:When you update the 'linebar' in a CR, this go to first line.(normally it's the next or current line)I think you forgot include the file: @ScriptDir & '\images\PickColor.bmp'Good Luck!

this-is-me Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 (edited) @Slim, why don't you use the new oneventmode? Also, could the line numbers on the word wrap reflect the lines in the file, and not the visible lines? Perhaps you could split the edit's output with @CRLF and parse line #'s by that. Edited October 16, 2004 by this-is-me Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 The caret cursor keeeps jumping to the very begining of the text box? Also, perhaps you could add support for command line parameters so that I can drop a txt file on NotepadNG.exe to open it.

SlimShady Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 Allright, feedback...@josbe:1. Thank you.2. I don't understand the 1st sentence very much. You shouldn't update the line bar manually.3. You don't need the PickColor.bmp because you can't change the text color of an edit box anyways.@this-is-me:I was thinking about that, but after I created the 2nd and 3rd dialog, I was wondering: "Does the OnEvent option/mode work only for 1 dialog or all of them?"And I don't want to use OnEvent option/mode for all the dialogs.@CyberSlug:To match the line bar with the lines of the edit box, I can only update by sending the "up arrow" and "down arrow" keys.And that can cause unexpected behaviour.The "Go To Line" function is made 50% using Windows API messages and the other half by sending arrow keys.For Word Wrap I couldn't find a Windows control message that I could send.I think I can use DllCall for that, but I need time to understand that function.If you're interested, I found some information that may be useful:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....rdbreakproc.aspAs you did with your AutoPad, I made 2 edit boxes and that works well (here at least)Meanwhile I fixed your problem and added some things.See first post.

friends Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 @SlimShady I think many of us would love to have a better Notepad functions compare to MS Notepad. Do you mind to have screenshot of your program ? That would be easier for other to take a look of the preview before download. Thanks.... Keep the good work up !

friends Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 OK... Just downloaded and tested a while.... I'm not sure if this is a bug or what. The current line is "1", and I test for the "Go To Line" feature. Right now, I enter LINE "3". Nothing happens as LINE 3 yet does not exist. After I did this, the program goes wrong, where I'm unable to close the program or do anything else.... When I click back on Internet Explorer (I'm browsing while testing your program), the IE automatically scroll down to Page 3 where this was from NotepadNG. Please check it out.... Side Note : Why not name it "Intelli NotePad".... just a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 The problem you had with "Go To Line" happens because I used Send() functions. In the latest version I replaced them all with GUISendMsg(). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHz Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Simple and functional. Starting to look alittle like notepad2. Possible bug? The reload function, restarts with a -1 in line 1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 I don't have that problem. Can you tell me what you did so I can reproduce the problem? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
this-is-me Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 And I don't want to use OnEvent option/mode for all the dialogsNot sure what you mean by this, but the oneventmode lets you bind a function to a button or control, no matter whether it is in one gui or another. Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 (edited) As you said in the other topic:You can't have AutoItSetOption("GUIOnEventMode", 1) and a GuiGetMsg loop, I don't think. I believe it is one or the other.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>And Jon confirmed.That means if you have multiple GUIs in one script and you enable GUIOnEventMode, you can't use GUIGetMsg in any of the other GUIs.At least that's my theory. And I don't feel like making a function of every action. Edited October 17, 2004 by SlimShady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josbe Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 2. I don't understand the 1st sentence very much. You shouldn't update the line bar manually.The same thing like CyberSlug said... 3.

SlimShady Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Thank you. I'm proud of it myself I'm currently trying to make a nice "Recent Files" dialog. With icons if I'm lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) I failed to create a Recent files dialog with icons.So I created one like Notepad2 has, without icons.Here's my latest to do list:To do list: - about dialog - Always On Top: Alt+T - settings dialog * Remember windows size and position on exit - Tabs so you can edit multiple files - Tools menu which you can configure, so you can run Tidy instantly or compile the current fileDo you have ideas or suggestions? Please post them. Edited November 19, 2004 by SlimShady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
