New question

I want to add a font selector with a predefined set of fonts.

A dropdownlist seems a good choice.

How can this be implemented.

When DDL is not downfolded the text "Fonts" should be presented.
When clicking the down-arrow the fontnames (19) preferably in their own fontface should be listed.
When Clicking a listitem the font setting should be implemented ( in the same manner as fontsize ). Th DDL should be folded again and showin Fonts.

This is the behaviour I would like

I thing that the code from fontsize can be reused - just changing the tags
But How do I set up the DDL to work?

Any Idea?

For now I will use the customized buttons.

I want to share my modified Off line BBCodeWriter with my fellows at GeekU at geekstogo. I want here what they think and if there is a need to modify it further.

The only thing that I've changed so far is the smileys, the icons on the buttons ( to reflect the buttonicons used at geekstogo) and also the configuration of the customized buttons. I have also changed so that the preview reflect the customized buttons to.

Could you provide me with your nsi file for the NSIS Installer.
I would appreciate it - so that I wont have to invent the wheel again.

It's easier to edit yours than creating a new one.

Thx in advance

Thx

Especially for the link to the Script generator.

I cerainly will use it.
I feared that I would have to use another tool for NSIS i downloaded.
And fabricate my own nsi file.

This will make it a lot easier.

If you are interested I can post back my modified version here.
Of course I would consider it very much a beta test as I am no AutoHotkey programmer. I just modified your excellent commented work with your help.

So many thx again
Leif

Wow! This is great! Thanks!

I made some cool modifications to make the preview Live Updating
Now it's TOTALLY AWESOME!! (ok, maybe just a little more awesome than before )

This is really cool for having the edit window in the front, with the preview right behind it. You get an instant look at what your post will look like, Without ever leaving the editor.

To change it, in short, I:
[*]Added a g-label to the main edit control
[*]Created a label that calls the preview at a max rate of .5 second
(there were problems with not giving it breathing room)
[*]Changed the winactivate and refresh part to use ControlSend if it's a live update, and not activate the window.
(the preview button still works normally)

Hi infogulch,

thanks for your interest in BBCodeWriter.

Unfortunantely I made a switch to Ubuntu Linux a year ago. Apart from that I didn't have much time to care about BBCodeWriter at all.

Nevertheless I like it when people play with my code and customize it to their needs. That's why I opensourced BBCodeWriter.

EDIT:
btw. If you have good coding skills and if you're interested, what about continuing the developement of BBCodeWriter? Or someone else?

I have a bunch of ideas and user proposals of what can be done/should be inside BBCodeWriter, but I don't have the time to do it.

Can someone tell me how I get BBCodeWriter to wordwrap?

Thanks.

[AGU]

What do you mean by "wordwrap"?

The multiline edit control within BBCodeWriter should wordwrap automatically unless it's deactivated with the -wrap option within the gui,add command. But this is not the case.

[zeno]

I just downloaded and installed (on a Vista PC), but the lines in the edit window do not wordwrap at the right of the screen - they just keep on going off to the right. I've not changed anything from the basic install.

[AGU]

To be honest, I don't know how to help you.

As far as I wrote, the edit control should wordwrap. Additionally you're the first one to describe this kind of error. I can only guess it's a Vista specific issue. Or maybe something with your desktop theme?

I don't run Vista so I can't help you very much. Doesn't Vista have some kind of compatibility mode where you can run programs within a XP context? I thought I read something like this recently.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this.

I tried it in XP (SP2) Compatibility mode, but it made no difference. What I was doing was pasting in text - the lines didn't wrap at all, just kept on going off the right of the screen.

Also, I've now lost all the button images, even though I've disabled the Compatibility Mode.

I'm off to uninstall and re-install...

[zeno]

I can't find the BBCodeWriter homepage. Has it moved?
