Richard Robertson 187 Posted February 17, 2005 Hey everyone, I'm sorry i've been out so long but I am working on an AutoIt Script Writer. I am writing it in VB.NET and it is going well. I will have a simple debugger and it will color things like AutoIt's built in fuctions, constants, variables, etc. It will even read Dim, Function, etc statements and color user made items. Does anyone have any suggestions to go into this? BTW: Anyone know how to compile in VB.NET? I'm lost, haha... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valik 478 Posted February 17, 2005 I've said this before and will say it again. Is it ironic that you would write an editor/IDE for a small, self-contained language in a language that will require people to download massive run-times in order to use? Just judging by the intelligence contained in most posts, I have my doubts whether the people a nice editor/IDE would benefit even have the intelligence to acquire the .NET framework. I would guess that 60 - 70% of people think .NET is part of a URL... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SumTingWong 1 Posted February 18, 2005 BTW: Anyone know how to compile in VB.NET? I'm lost, haha... <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Are you seriously asking this question?You are writing a text editor in VB.NET and you don't know how to compile it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Robertson 187 Posted February 18, 2005 I'm taking a VB.NET course and my teacher doesn't even know how to compile! The code is easy. I did not know of the other editors though. If it is pointless, I may stop. I didn't think there would be so many people who wouldn't use it. Is there anyone, anyone at all, who would use it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlimShady 1 Posted February 18, 2005 Some guy made an AutoIt3 editor called AutoEd. It looks like that project is dead. It's been a while since we heard from him. Search for that topic and add all the features that are in that application. If you succeed, I'll use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Robertson 187 Posted February 18, 2005 AutoEd... doesn't ring a bell but I'll look and see what I can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lupusbalo 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Is there anyone, anyone at all, who would use it?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>just make it half as good as Scite and i may test it!now seriously if it's just to practice and learn AutoIt, it could be a good exercise.i already myself made some scripts that have been written hundreds (if not thousands) times just for learning so go aheadif it's .NET that's another story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Robertson 187 Posted February 18, 2005 What is this SciTE anyways?New features I may add, other than those listed:MDI contains seperate windows for functions and such, will have a last edited list, will have an Autocomplete, will check for simple infinate loop problems, syntax debugger, color dialog, options menu will contain list of AutoIt options to put at top of file, uhh...Had some more but can't remember them. Maybe a spell-checker for strings as well.By the way, what was up with comments about the .NET framework? People should already have downloaded it by now, its been there for some time and is widely used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CyberSlug 6 Posted February 19, 2005 I did not know of the other editors though. If it is pointless, I may stop. I didn't think there would be so many people who wouldn't use it.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>1) Many people have written text editors for fun. Feel free to do what ever you want.2) There are a bunch of mature, feature-rich editors out there--and people like to stick with what they know.Aside: I'm a big fan of TextPad and a bigger fan of SciTE.TextPad: good regexp support, good bookmark features, "replace in all files" supportSciTE: intellisense, code folding, excellent extensions from forum members Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

quick_sliver007 0 Posted February 19, 2005 My have a thought for your editor. It would be nice to to have an editor that corrects little things like the way you use a variable in a function. Like in the list view, if you use a variable you have to put it in like this & $var. Yet in other functions like IniRead, you take the quotes out from around the variable. It's just one of those things that get under my skin. I hope this reply is usefull to you. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
