CodeEdit, the Middle Year Edition

[HSE]

Hi all,

Playing Syntax Highlighting in CodeEdit, the Christmas Edition.

It's Iczelion method, but more complete. Just no so fast, and some little glitches, specially scrollbar thumb (¿?).

When opening files from explorer have problems in Christmas Edition:

  - cmd_tail fail, the I replace with old GetCL (adapted to 64 bits obviously), and Window Title, etc. that Hutch never completes in this edition.

  - Hutch method to expand .png files don't work. Perhaps is posible to solve that, but more easy was to replace toolbar image with .bmp file (40 kb more than png).

Regards, HSE

I had wanted to change the font there to another one. But upon reassembling found that "include \masm32\macros\SmplMath\math.inc" of course is not on my computer.

Also the batch file needs a path adjustment manually done.

Code Select Expand

\masm64A\bin64\rc.exe rsrc.rc
\masm64A\bin64\ml64.exe /c /nologo %appname%.asm
\masm64A\bin64\polink.exe /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /ENTRY:entry_point /LARGEADDRESSAWARE %appname%.obj rsrc.res
Does the program NEED  math,inc?
Anyway, I will look at this again later on. Thanks for sharing. And yes a couple of glitches .... as you had mentioned.

Does the program NEED  SmplMath?

Syntax Highlighting is a fast translation from 32 bits, then you need push and pop registers, @While, and no much more I think.

@HSE:

so it does need math,inc for those macros then?
Why not put those macros in the source file in the project?, instead of needing that particular include file.

[HSE]

so it does need math.inc for those macros then?

Math.inc is the header. Several files in SmplMath package contains the macros, and a lot of them are very helpful when using ML64 (or any other).

Why not put those macros in the source file in the project?

Is better to put in macros directory, because files are not so small and will be used in most of the projects (if your are not a martir of bare metal    )

Usually it is normal to include everything that is needed in a project within the project, there may be others that wish to modify the project without having to download anything else. Just a suggestion by the way, it is your project, do as you see fit.

Are you drinking? 

CodeEdit project requiere Masm64 SDK project, and nobody can even think that must be posted inside. You must obtain Masm64 SDK independently.

SmplMath is other project, and is obtained independently. You have to make a couple of clicks with mouse.

If you can't do that, don't worry, the project is not for you.

[zedd151]

You're a funny guy, HSE. Of course the Masm64 SDK is definitely NOT part of the project but rather the platform on which it is built.    Your project as is, needs a bit of work. But I am not willing to download SimplMath for just one project. I hope that you understand.
This is all I have to say about that, good luck with the project! 

Regards, zedd.

[HSE]

But I am not willing to download ...

That is discipline. I have projects from everybody in the forum

Good job HSE!
Can you add the line numbers as well?

Can you add the line numbers as well? 

It's not the idea now, CodeEdit must be fast and simple. Line numbers is something a little more complex, and for that I use KetilO's RadAsm 3 (source code also is available).

Good job HSE!
Can you add the line numbers as well? 

Excellent idea. I don't know what they are good for, as I never felt a need for them since I quit line-numbered Basic dialects 40 years ago, but I wish you luck with this endeavour. Keep us posted

[HSE]

but I wish you luck with this endeavour.

Not bad, but not so easy 

[jj2007]

First, it's not possible with the buggy RichEdit control, at least not for sources with more than 65535 lines.

Second, if you want those line numbers to see where the error sits, please try RichMasm: if there is an error, RM jumps directly there and puts the cursor at the beginning of the line.

Good point. Hutch have forgotten to implement "Go to Line".
