----------
-Variable scrolling speed
-Pinning!
a)when sizing
b)when deleting text!
-Different Selection back color if control has/not focus
-Automatic scrolling when caret is out of view when selecting text
-VERY low memory consumption
-ULTRA FAST file loading
-Very fast compilation (due to modular structure)
-Non printable chracters (<32) are displayed.<---Some bugs are faced here
-A lot of standard edit messages supported plus some specific to the control
etc
etc

hi Antonis,

As i see holidays were studious ;)

No problem here under xp sp2....All messages seems to work.
May i put on the todo list the ability of zooming with Ctrl+MouseWheel ?? B)

Hi!

very interesting! most test messages works!

1. when i set font to Fixedsys (i always use it :) short strokes appeared on the leftside bundle.

2.i'm not sure, but i think, it would be better to use system default codepage as default to edit control (one extra operation, when missed - unpleasure look)

3.what about virtual space? (automatic fill with spaces/crlfs to reach position where cursor was clicked (possible only when typing started)). (it could be placed in todo list)

i think, edit controls, specific to coding, always will be usefull!

hi, Antonis
how EM_GETLINE must work?
as I expected, it must return currently selected line, if this is correct behavior, EM_GETLINE has bugs, coz it doesn't return selected line

GETTEXT must return ALL text? or it's part? coz in debug window only part of it (may be limitations of dbg window)

Thanks,

@PhoBos: I 'd rather change the font size with Ctrl+MouseWheel and NOT zoom in/out (faster, and better optically). What do you say?

@shoorick:
1.does it happen only with Fixedsys? can you please post another image that shows the whole selection column?


2.OK

3. can you please clarify a bit? what do you mean by "possible only when typing started"?

@Jupiter:
1.EM_GETLINE:
wParam=zero-based index of the line
lParam=lpBuff

In my demo I use

Invoke SendMessage,hEdit,EM_GETLINE,6,ADDR Buffer

i.e. I want ti retrieve the text of line 6 (zero based)


2.WM_GETTEXT:
wParam = (WPARAM) cchTextMax ;number of characters to copy
lParam = (LPARAM) lpszText

I use wParam=1023 in my demo

Antonis

1.i think this could be a problem with raster fonts - usage of just courier shown below. it looks like a first zero of hidden line number sends hello to us ;)

3.i ment a technical behavior: when user click beyond real text a cursor appeared there, but no changes made with real text in control buffer. when user start typing, only then space between first character and end of real text filled with spaces in control text buffer ;)

regards!

1.I am wondering why the number column is so narrow; it should be MUCH wider

3.OK

Thanks,
Antonis

ah, ok, I understand about EM_GETLINE and WM_GETTEXT - you used static values for this, always 6th line and 1kb bufer. I expected that EM_GETLINE called to get _current_ line.
what about .inc & .lib for testing?

inc, lib and the source of the demo application will be available VERY soon. You can use the demo as the basis to create a NotePad replacement

Thanks for update!
But probem with narrow line number column still exists under Win2k!
I tested under WinXP SP2, all is ok, this appears only under Win2k.
Features to add:
selected text drag-n-drop
double click select free space also (many spaces for ex)

btw, about text drag-n-drop in WinAsm:
I can't 'hook on' block beggining from CrLf. It's useful when I need to drag a whole line w/o pressing 'Enter\Return'

...and vertical blocks, if poss :)

Thanks for the suggestions/feedback.

New V1.0.0.2 zip and what's new info on top.

Regards,

Antonis

looks nice! i'll test it at home also close to evening! regards!

at home works also :)
