I have coded this one to use in part as a template for others I need to make from time to time. It has threaded file IO, does its confirmation correctly, it will load files > 100 megabytes, a novel technique for tooltips, it is FAST and its cute. :tongue:
ATTACHMENT reloaded to fix error.
For folks who don't have access at a PB compiler, I have posted a near identical 64 bit MASM version which has a much larger capacity.

Very nice work :thumbsup:
Thanks Erol, seems to do the job OK.
Build well :thumbsup:
hi，HUTCH,you are very good.however, it has happened a small bug in MY chinese verion WINDOWS 10. FONT SIZE IS TOO Small so that i can't right edit the text.
Its an example for the PowerBASIC compiler so while its easy enough to change the font size and type, you need to be able to build it to do so. The font used is the "fixedsys" font which may end up too small depending on your display resolution. What I don't know is the difference between a Chinese version and a US/UK version of Win10.

However, I edit in the QEDIT.EXE without similar problems. QEDIT.EXE is very convenient to use, powerful, so that I basically do not need other IDE to code.
Hi ,HUTCH,
hFont =get_font_handle (12,9,600," fixedsys ")
SendMessage hEdit,%WM_SETFONT,hFont,%TRUE
Can I change the corresponding value in the above original code and rebuild the source program to achieve the effect I need?
I am sorry, there is no POWER BASIC. in my computer system I don't know where PWOERBAsIC can download to the latest version.
PowerBASIC is commercial software, it cannot be downloaded for free. I can change the font name in a hex editor but cannot find the settings for the font.

Recompile it with
Lucida Sans Typewriter. That font is scalable, i.e. hold Ctrl and use the mousewheel to choose the right size.
Yes, that works well,
consolas
courier new
lucida console
I will do a cooked version as I don't want the original changed.
Would anyone want it in old Microsoft blue with light grey test ? Emulation of the 1990 PWB.

hi，VROTEX.I haven't mastered this technique yet
With the version posted above, just the binary, hold down the CTRL key and move the scroll wheel on the mouse.

Works fine! Note Hutch means the updated version in reply #10, i.e. not the top post.

HI,HUTCH,I AM SUCCESSFULL
:eusa_boohoo:
hi,hutch. A new bug has happend.when I press "s" key in tedit, my computer screen shows a dialog bx of save as...., why is this?
I can confirm it. Hitting s without CTRL is launching the Save As dialog box.
Its set the CTRL + S as the hotkey. What I don't know is how a Chinese version of Win10 handles hotkeys.
:sad:
I can duplicate it as well. A stuffup in how the hotkeys are done. Will fix.
For anyone with the source, change this
bypass1:
' --------------------------------
CmpKey(%VK_SHIFT)
! je bypass2
To
bypass1:
' --------------------------------
CmpKey(%VK_CONTROL)
! jne bypass2
CmpKey(%VK_SHIFT)
! je bypass2
I have replaced the complete project and the modified version.

Hi stevenxie,
Hutch uploaded the new releases. Did you try them? The problem is solved.
all things ok,very good
"Wickedly crafted" looks right.
Thank you very much for this.
I use a few minimalistic editors and they start up fast but this is instantaneous and the DOS prompt looks very useful.
