Really nice job. You should add syntax highlighting too for html, c/c++, perl, etc. :) that would rule then it would be like a code editor.

I am rarely impressed with text editors, but this is good. mainly due to speed of execution, especially font loading.

Great work!

There's a minor bug you might want to work on. Goto File > Manage Files... > Browse > Cancel, this will cause Illegal Operation.

Still great work!

Great program, but I had a problem-- I canceled a SaveAs operation and got an 'cancel' error from VB6 (so far ok because I can change the common dialog settings), but then no matter what I do after that I get a GPF and have to restart VB. The EXE I complied doesn't do that! Anyone know what's going on?

wow, amazing editor... i am usually not impressed by text editors of any kind but this is just great. the API font load rules. usually loading fonts on a slow processor with 1000 fonts can take a few seconds, --- now milliseconds. keep up the good work and i can't wait to see a syntax editor.

The program is good ... but if you want Programmers to use it for editing codes then ... NO ; not for those today.

Not just because there is no syntax highlighting but also one imp feature ... no one has provided it ...

Just look at following ...

class hello
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Hello!!!");
}
}

Everytime I have to manually produce those spaces on the line next to { in order to keep my code organized or at least look organized.

This feature is missing in all ... really all Text Editors which are claimed as programmer's editors here on PSC (except cEdit , but that's OCX does all the work for us.)

Can you produce the same effect with pure VB code ?? See if you can add it to your Editor.

(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

 
10/23/2002 6:32:27 AMRuturaj

Ohh ... in last posting , PSC has disturbed all the sample code body .... But I guess you got the thing what I mean to say ... don't you ??

10/23/2002 6:34:16 AMRuturaj

Ohh ... in last posting , PSC has disturbed all the editing of sample code body what I wrote to show you the problem what a normal Java Programmer often faces .... But I guess you got the thing what I mean to say ... don't you ??

If no then contact me : rutuonline@hotmail.com

Very nice coding here!...
Great GUI and fast execution.
5 Globes from me, but...
One small bug:
Type any word, select and copy it, then press CTRL-V. It will double paste it.
I haven't gone through the code yet, but I'm sure it's easily fixable.
Again, great work here buddy.
Keep it up.
