Hi,

I'm trying to improve the "file browser" plugin.

I would like to keep it in sync with the currently active editor: In the file/directory tree, always select the directory/file of the currently active editor. (if it is in the tree, of course)

For this to work I need to be notified when the uses starts editing another file - i.e. changes to another source editor.

I have found in LazaIDEintf lots of event handlers, but it seems there is no event for when the user switches source editors.

I could work with a timer and examine the currently active editor, but that seems a bit hackish.

Did I miss such an event handler ?
If no such event exists, could it be added ?

Michael.

unit SrcEditorIntf;

? TSemChangeReason = (
??? semEditorActivate,? // Editor is ActiveEditor

not sure you may additionally need to watch for new created....

Thanks, that is just what I needed.

Better not, since it does not yet have a filename, so nothing to show yet.

I implemented an initial version of this new feature, I pushed it to the git repo.

Thanks for the tip...

Michael.

I always wanted to do this for the project inspector. So I used your approach as an inspiration :)

I also found out that LazarusIDE.RemoveAllHandlersOfObject doesn't remove the SourceEditorManagerIntf events. I fixed that in your code.

I updated my lazarus, works well! :-)

Ah, good to know. Thanks for fixing it !
