Ok I can report a small amount of success in getting this version working. The load time for the source file is a fraction of a second :), as it now only draws what it needs to display.

My question is at what stage would you all accept a new code base for the editor. The code works quite differently from the version in CVS at the moment and there is a whole raft of new APIs to get working to get this working correctly. Mainly stuff to do with InvalidateRect and getting the invalid region to paint from the window manager. gtk seems to have the mechanisms there to be able to get this functionallity, I am assuming that gtk_widget_queue_draw_area does something along
these lines but have not looked at gtk too deeply yet.

The major problem I have is a segfault in the hightlighter code where the highlighter uses a jumptable to its own methods, this seems to work fine in the current code base but I can't work out why the dammed thing apparently loses it reference to itself and ends up with a null pointer to its own instance.

Anyway the features of this are quite good, cached resources fonts, bitmaps etc and lots of pluggable highlighters, working down the list in no specific order,

I am very close to getting the PROJECT OPEN and PROJECT SAVE features done. Once this is completed I could see us bringing in some new code base. However, I don't want to get rid of what we have. Either we need to call it TmwCustomEdit2 or place it into a different directory or something. I would really like this thing working so that we could use it to edit the code. In a few days I think I can have it working to a point that we could edit with it. However if we change editors then that would change everything.

Can we add the code seperatly for now and work on it? Shane

May be anybody know about porting GLADE under FPC or add pascal support to GLADE.....

There is nothing yet anymore. I made once a patch against glade 0.3.6. but that one is obsolete.

The easiest way would be an xml reader and then translate the xml generated by glade to pascal.

Peter

Hello All,

May be anybody know about porting GLADE under FPC or add pascal support to GLADE.....

There is a XML reader in the FCL, so that should work !

Michael.

Just name the API's needed. As far as I have seen, GTK/GDK can do region stuf, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway the features of this are quite good, cached resources fonts, bitmaps etc and lots of pluggable highlighters, working down the list in no specific order,

Ok, that means that if all gets working, the font cache get's a lower priority to me.

??? It doesn't create the handles, the callig app does ;-)

the key ones are for starters:
InvalidateRect: At the moment I point this to the class method which of course does nothing
ClipRect:
UnionRect : I have this simply implemented.
SetBkColor :
ColorToRGB
Opaque drawing in ExtTextOut

Next:
fix GetObject to get a proper LogFont it is still creating too many new font handles
just not as many as before

With these few done the editor should more of less work.

I fixed the segfault and got the hightlighter fully functional. It now highlights keywords, numbers etc in different colours.

Still tying to tidy it up got sidetracked by the highlighter :)

That should not be a problem as I currenlty have both codebases working, I just rename the codebase directory to work with to mwEdit. I'll start to try and tidy things up, Makefile stuff etc and send it to someone.I'll let you all know when I have done that, who to send it to?

You can sent it to me.
