development GUI_server v0.99

[Lutz]

fixes two important Win32 issues:



- directories now always visible when doing file masks in filedialog boxes



- problems in positionng text selections in find command



newlisp-edit.lsp has now undo/redo

Today I have started to use newlisp-edit.lsp as my main texteditor to give it a good workout. The only main missing feature at this moment are syntax highlighting and some kind of preferences dialog for various settings.



Unfortunately I have not had much opportunity to test on Win32. So I depend on HPW's and Didi's (and anybody else's) bug-reports and observations thanks ;-)

newLISP-edit  with  gui-server 0.99:

works fine, only the find-function highlights the wrong text, about 10chars or more after the searched word is highlighted  (win) .

Yesterday i stuck in an endless loop , after i started my faulty program out of the newlisp-editor, i used the task-manager to exit - is there another way?



It's fun to program with the gui-server and to see the result - and kind of exciting  like discovering a unknown land :-)

Is there a way to add into text-area the various handlers (for TAB, ENTER etc)?

about 10chars or more after the searched word is highlighted (win)

yes and the parenthesis behaviour is broken, something broke it all last minute. I will take 0.99 off and repost later as 0.991

 

Is there a way to add into text-area the various handlers (for TAB, ENTER etc)?

There is a general handler, firing on any character typed and cursor movements, see in newlisp-edit.lsp:

Code Select Expand

(define (editarea-handler id code dot mark len undo redo)
...
)

id -> the id of the editarea

code -> the character typed

mark, dot -> the position(s) of the text cursor

len -> the current length of the document

undo,redo -> the state of undo, redo

Code Select Expand

Yesterday i stuck in an endless loop , after i started my faulty program out of the newlisp-editor

newlisp-edit doesn't come back until the external program exits/finishes. Today I am trying to put back the stateful newLISP evaluation from console.lsp.
