Editor for testing

[jj2007]

This is a really simple editor with a toolbar. The only unusual feature is the "Language" menu.
Grateful for feedback and corrections, especially on the tooltips in not-so-common languages.

Runs OK on my Win10. One suggestion, on the language menu, translate each language to its self so that the reader can read his own language. Appearance wise it needs a manifest to modernise the interface components.

Good  :t , but the last 4 language don't translate complete like Arabic  (In: File Menu/Language Menu/Console build/Windows Build/Replace)
Windows 8.1 Arabic

Good point, will do that in the next version.

It does have a simple XP manifest - see second attachment. But there is a big known problem here: The tooltips won't work correctly with the full XP manifest. And while they work fine with a Win7 manifest, the whole proggie will fail to load in XP with that one. Try googling for CCM_SETVERSION tooltips :(

I attach the three versions for testing. Note how the tooltips show up - it's not very evident, sometimes they work in the "full" version, sometimes they show up only occasionally.

Yes, some translations are missing. I don't speak Arabic, and I don't trust Google translate completely, so I would be grateful for proper translations of these more or less standard menus. Last attachment is the *.tab file used to build the editor, perhaps you could have a look; same for anybody here who speaks Chinese or Japanese 8)

Other than flicker when the window is resized, it works fine on my Windows 10 notebook.

This has worked on everything for years.

For the tooltips straight out of the guts of QE, try this with a full XP manifest.

Code Select Expand


        mov hToolTips, FUNC(SendMessage,hToolBar,TB_GETTOOLTIPS,0,0)

        invoke SendMessage,hToolTips,TTM_SETDELAYTIME,TTDT_INITIAL,0
        invoke SendMessage,hToolTips,TTM_SETDELAYTIME,TTDT_RESHOW,0

Hutch,

Thanks for this, but no changes :(

My version of QE (4.0j) doesn't have tooltips - or do you mean something different?

[hutch--]

I use the tooltips to display on the status bar rather than the small popup windows. From memory the common control library is buggy with version 6.???? for XP and it was always a bit unreliable with tooltips. That particular manifest works on everything from XP upwards in 32 bit.

[jj2007]

New version: The tooltips work now with the XP manifest (one day I will reveal the ugly secret).

The editor also has a dropfile feature, and it should work with Unicode file names. Grateful for feedback 8)

This is the WM_DROPFILES handler:

Event DropFiles
  call CheckSave      ; check if user wants to save changes
  .if eax
      wLet ThisDoc$=wRec$(Files$(0))      ; take only the first dropped file
      jmp @OpenThis
  .endif

I cannot see any icon on buttons in toolbar.

For Spanish messages, they usually are used in infinitive:

* Copy -> Copiar
* Paste -> Pegar
* Cut -> Cortar
* Print -> Imprimir

Same problem as last time with gif images on your machine. Interesting ::)

Thanks, Steve. AFAIK Gdi+ was introduced with XP SP3...

Seems to work fine on my Win10 64. Tooltips appear properly, language menu reads OK but I would be inclined on all of the different menus to write each language in itself, English for English, French for French etc ....
