Thanks for the info. I am using this code to place the cursor at the correct spot, however this code does nothing for me in the way of selecting the text. Am I correct? If there is something I am missing, let me know but I think I'll have to wait for this bug to be fixed.....

Thanks

Do you have links to the SynEdit site? Thanks Shane

I made minor changes to TCustomForm and TScreen.

I added the Search-Find feature in IDE. Of course it doesn't work perfectly yet.

I am having trouble setting the selected text in the editor. It NEVER highlights the correct text. I used the windows version of mwCustomEdit to see how I was supposed to do it and I couldn't get it to work there either!

I will look at it tomorrow. Maybe it's a bug in the version of the editor we are trying to use....

This is a known bug in mwEdit.
You can't select text using SetSelStart and SetSelEnd. Use CaretX and CaretY instead.
For example
mwEdit1.CaretX := 0;
mwEdit1.CaretY := 1;
will set the cursor at the first character of the 2nd line.

CVS Updated. I added a few functions. They are just the shell functions with no code associated with them yet....

SetTextCharacterExtra
CharLowerBuff
IsCharAlphaNumeric

These functions are used in SynEdit. I am close to getting it to compile. There have been a few things I needed to change. One of them (that should be fixed) is found below:

procedure TSynEditUndoList.EnsureMaxEntries;
var
  Item: TSynEditUndoItem;
begin
  while fItems.Count > fMaxUndoActions do begin
    Item := fItems[0];  //error right here fItems is a TList
    Item.Free;
    fItems.Delete(0);
  end;
end;

it didn't like that you were getting a VOID_POINTER when it expected a class of TSynEditUndoItem. Are the FPC folks against allowing this (because it's not technically "correct" pascal) or can this be allowed?

Thanks

Did you try to compile it in Delphi mode ?

Sorry, my mistake.
To select something, use BlockBegin and BlockEnd.
They are both TPoint type.

BTW, this bug might be fixed in SynEdit (they already released version 1.0). Are there any plans about using SynEdit instead of mwEdit?

We will be moving either to SynEdit or the other one that MW is working on.

The freshly created directory has the well known "lock failed" error. Could somebody please telnet to the server and correct permissions.

Thanks in advance,

I fixed bug # 16

I added all the Synedit files. It's not quite ready to use the Synedit editor yet.
