Hey majkinetor.

Kudos on your wrapper.

Here are some images that show the implementation of the HiEdit control in my ARMbasic IDE for Coridium Corp's MicroController Product Line.

I blended the guidance that I took from corrupt's cRichEdit control and was able to embed a couple of the HiEdit Controls onto a AHK tab control.

On the first tab, I disabled the HiEdit tabs and am using it as a normal edit control, that gives syntax highlighting.

On the 2nd AHK tab, I have a tab'd HiEdit control that allows the user to look at the toolchain dialogue in the various tabs.

I am posting, in addition to saying thanks for the work, to ask a question.

With the control being on a couple of tabs, when I switch tabs, I am seeing where the sub-controls on the tabs aren't being redrawn properly. Is there a message that I can send to the control to get it to redraw all of it's elements?

Here is a pic of the ide with the console tab selected - the IDE is docked inside of the editor:


Here is a pic showing the docked IDE looking at the preprocessor debug dialog:


Here is a pic showing an undocked IDE with the issue I am seeing with the elements not being re-drawn properly:


Here is a pic showing what the same display should look like (when I resize the container, I have the gui destroyed and re-created which results in the proper display of the sub-controls on the HiEdit control).


And here is another pic looking at the preprocessed source before it gets handed off to the compiler. Basically looking at the 2nd tab on the 2nd tab. Embedded controls rule...:


At any rate, please review and advise if you have any suggestions for programmatically forcing a redraw on AHK tab control selection.

Thank you!

p.s. for anyone else wanting to embed a HiEdit onto a set of AHK tab controls, here' s some code showing how I did it:

Also, the .rar archive for the toolset has a typo in the library file HiEdit.ahk. On line 280, the word ...length is mis-spelled.

[majkinetor!]

I thought i fixed that typo....

Hi Majkinetor.

Thanks for the suggestion.

We (well, honestly, not even me, just akyprian) have figured out what is going on. Take a peek at the 4th post+ on here.

It seems to be related to a line of code in your wrapper.

I implemented the fix he suggested, and it surely does resolve the problem.

Just wanted to let you know, in case there wasn't a good reason that the wrapper included the offending syntax. If it was indeed intentional, I'd be interested in knowing the reasoning, so that I can learn yet some more.

Again, thanks.

Take care.

I found a bug.

When HiEdit is open but not the active window and you press ctrl+f HiEdit will open a search box (in the background) and the ctrl+f doesn't get send to the active window.

Looks like the following function returns always the previous line rather than current or the number given.

As far as I understand "Return ErrorLevel +1" would fix it.

Can you confirm and fix?

[ahklerner]

it's probably zero based.

It looks like it is 0 based.

Another problem is HE_GetLine(hEdit)
When line is only 1 character, it returns empty string.

Can anybody confirm?

Is it a bug? How to get around?

If you go through the HiEdit.inc document that is included with the HiEdit download, you would quickly determine that there are quite a few of routines that could be added to the HiEdit library. Unfortunately most of the "new" routines would go unused because they are not needed, there are alternative commands, etc. But and however, there are a few unused commands that have value.

Using the current library syntax (for the most part), I've written a few functions that might be useful:

Hi @ all:
I have a question:
Is it possible to add a g-Label to a HiEdit control ?

Hi,

A couple of questions, if anyone could answer them please?

1) Other than saving the text from a hiEdit control to a file, or highlighting the whole text. How can you get the text from hiEdit into a variable?
I don't want to save it to a file first and highlighting a lot of text to get it in the variable causes a flicker problem.

2) How do you move/resize the control once positioned?

Thanks, very much, i'll try it out

SetFont setting doesn't behave correctly. I tried setting Tahoma, Central European, 7 and it won't accept size and encoding - stays on Western, 8.
Also black background is kinda depressing and the SetColor customization appears to be 'homework'.

Could this be taken care of, someday, please? Thank you.
