EM_REDO

[Mat]

I am trying to build undo and redo funcitonality into a script of mine that uses a normal edit control, and I was tring to find a way to redo as well. I found EM_REDO, but that for richedit controls. Does this mean there is no way to redo using GUICtrlSendMsg? Or Do I have to set a hotkey for ^z, save the text of the control, and undo. and then redo by restoring said txt...

Just wondering as I am fairly new to the win commands, and I may have missed something obvious.

Also: WM_UNDO or EM_UNDO? It says on msdn that EM_UNDO is recommended for rich edit controls, but what about normal ones? I think i've given up on redo...

By default if you press «Ctrl + Z» you get the undo/redo functionality. But there is a functions (UDFs) like _GUICtrlEdit_Undo/_GUICtrlEdit_CanUndo, look in the help file.

P.S

I supose it's possible to set custom buffer for Edit control, but it's better to use rich edit.

Yep, I'm making it for a mene item. It's not the undo I'm struggling with, thats written and done. Its the redo I'm trying to find a proffessional solution for.

the udfs just send the message for me, they don't help beyond that.

Edit: I was considering making it a rich edit control, even if I don't include full functionality. I might do that.

EM_CANUNDO will undo or redo the last operation perform on the edit control:

EM_UNDO 

wParam = 0; // not used; must be zero 
lParam = 0; // not used; must be zero 
 

An application sends an EM_UNDO message to undo the last edit control operation. 

Parameters

This message has no parameters. 

Return Value

For a single-line edit control, the return value is always TRUE. For a multiline edit control, the return value is TRUE if the undo operation is successful, or FALSE if the undo operation fails. 

Remarks

An undo operation can also be undone. For example, you can restore deleted text with the first EM_CANUNDO message, and remove the text again with a second EM_CANUNDO message as long as there is no intervening edit operation.

?? I cant' get that to work authenticity, And EM_CANUNDO doesn't mention it either. Can undo is for seeing if the undo buffer is empty or not. but...

You can do it by re-sending EM_UNDO I found after a bit of playing around. But I think I'm going to make a rich edit anyway.

Oh and, The edit example in the helpfile isn't working. I've tried using both beta + 3.3, and both helpfiles use the same examples. Is anyone else getting that? Unfortunately for me, I don't do much with objects, so I don't have a clue.

Works fine for me:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_au3check_parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

$Debug_Ed = False ; Check ClassName being passed to Edit functions, set to True and use a handle to another control to see it work

_Main()

    GUICreate("Edit Undo", 400, 300)
    $hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("This is a test" & @CRLF & "Another Line", 2, 2, 394, 268)
    GUISetState()

    _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hEdit, @CRLF & "Append to the end?")

I meant the GUICtrlCreateEdit example. It creates a rich edit control (or tries to anyways)

I was using GUICtrlSendMsg, that takes ID's. I have got that working now, it just needs neatening up. What were you saying with CANUNDO?? that didn't make sense.

Edit:

This line:

$oRP = ObjCreate("RICHTEXT.RichtextCtrl.1")
