MasmBasic & the RichMasm IDE / Re: Text field encoding certai...
Last post by jj2007 - May 06, 2025, 07:19:58 AMOk, that was kind of unexpected ;-)
Quin, I checked with the NVDA reader and confirm the issue: it does indeed read the hidden text. I also tested it with my old Microsoft Word 2003, and there it depends on where you check the "show hidden text" option. So yes, it is an issue with RichMasm
QEditor can't read RTF files. Wordpad can, but it has no option to show the hidden text, so I assume that's the reason why you can't hear the hidden text.
Now it might be possible to find a solution for that, but so far I don't see any. The easiest workaround is to press the arrow down key when you hear that stuff in the first line...
Many features work just fine; the "find" listbox, for example, and the tooltips for some of the functions in the upper right corner. The bookmarks unfortunately don't get read.
Quin, my compliments: you have a tough life and seem to manage very well. I wonder whether RichMasm or QEditor are better for you. Difficult to say...

Last post by Quin - May 06, 2025, 06:21:44 AMI'm not sure if that'd be particularly helpful, I'm blind and have no screen attached.
If you wouldn't mind, try downloading the free NVDA screen reader from https://nvaccess.org/download, and then try to read the text field in RichMasm with the up and down arrow keys.

Last post by Quin - May 06, 2025, 12:51:13 AMHi JJ,
Thanks for your reply!
I think the problem lies in how you're using the edit control, not in the edit control itself. Don't get me wrong, rich edit is a buggy piece of software that was probably written by a bunch of drunk Microsoft interns, but me only seeing this in your app and not in Wordpad, QEditor, or many other apps that use Rich Edit makes me suspect that it's RichMasm's doing.

Last post by jj2007 - May 05, 2025, 05:45:29 PMWell, this is rtf, and it's supposed to be opened with RichMasm. You can open it also with any other application that knows about Rich Text Format, MS Word for example, and the odd things will or will not be shown depending on whether you allow the program to show hidden text...
What you see there is hidden settings: last pos on screen, width & height, the last eight locations you visited in the file (!), and many more...
This is quite an overkill for a 100 lines template, but if you ever reach 20,000 lines or so, you will surely appreciate that the editor remembers the last eight positions where you worked on your code; and a few other things, such as bookmarks and the search list ;-)

Last post by megavlad - May 05, 2025, 09:57:23 AMI tried the same code as you, with various output levels, but nothing. Weird.
Thanks for confirming.
