ThePentiumGuy Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 i think the status bar shows things like "text copied to clipboard" "text selected" "file saved" I really dont know(im not at my XP comp. right now) Quote My VB.NET Game Programming Tutorial Site (GDI+, Direct3D, Tetris [coming soon], a full RPG.... you name it!) vbprogramming.8k.com My Project (Need VB.NET Programmers) http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ResolutionRPG
*Gurus* divil Posted August 12, 2003 *Gurus* Posted August 12, 2003 It shows line numbers, but you can only use it when you don't have word wrap turned on (is this obvious to anyone else?)

Leaders dynamic_sysop Posted August 12, 2003 Leaders Posted August 12, 2003 just tried it and yes it only works with wordwrap turned off, showing the count of lines / chars. does anyone use notepad with wordwrap off though:rolleyes: Quote
ThePentiumGuy Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 for me, word wrap is off by default.. how do u change that?

*Experts* Volte Posted August 12, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 12, 2003 I hate word-wrap when I'm using anything. I have a 1600x1200 resolution, so there aren't many times when I need it... It just makes things look messy when things do wrap. Quote

ThePentiumGuy Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 sometimes you do... when you copy and paste HTML code into NotePad or when you copy and paste a lot of stuff into notepad Quote My VB.NET Game Programming Tutorial Site (GDI+, Direct3D, Tetris [coming soon], a full RPG.... you name it!) vbprogramming.8k.com My Project (Need VB.NET Programmers) http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ResolutionRPG
Leaders dynamic_sysop Posted August 13, 2003 Leaders Posted August 13, 2003 Real men don't need word wrap. omg , thats twice in 2 days that you've cracked me up with a quote divil :p i must get this skirt changed now, it's cutting me in half;) and yes i only use notepad for html stuff so it's much better with wordwrap on for that ( i'm not hard enough to attampt html with wordwrap turned off:p ) Quote
*Experts* Volte Posted August 13, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 13, 2003 Why would you want to use word-wrap for HTML?! That would be so unbelievably messy. I'd probably go insane. Get a real text editor for HTML. :p There are hundreds of them out there. Notepad just doen't cut it for me. Especially since it can't properly interpret many encodings (particularly unicode, as well as files saved under other OS's). If you have ever tried opening an HTML file or PHP file saved under Linux, it will all be one line due to the incorrect parsing of the Linux newline characters. Quote

Leaders dynamic_sysop Posted August 14, 2003 Leaders Posted August 14, 2003 for most stuff i use my own editor, the layout's a bit bare at the moment, but i'm just using it as a canvas for the custom menu's i'm trying to build. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dennis.hughes3/myform.PNG Quote
Diablicolic Posted August 14, 2003 Author Posted August 14, 2003 Your editor even highlights all of the VB keywords?! Quote "Reality is fake, Dreams are for real"
Leaders dynamic_sysop Posted August 14, 2003 Leaders Posted August 14, 2003 you can paste vb code straight in to the editor , then convert to either tagged [vbcode] or or convert to <html> , the reason i do that is for posting on vbforums.com , codeguru's forum and the html is for on a few other forums i'm on which allow html posts. in the vbforum / codeguru forum vb code shows as dark blue , unlike the great method on this forum of using the bright blue ( like in vs projects ) therefore i brighten up my posts on them forums from this >>>> [color=darkblue]Private Sub[/color] <<<< to this >>>>[color=blue]Private Sub[/color] <<<< like i said , ignore the layout , it's not meant to be anything special, only for quick use and for the menu i'm working on.:) Quote
*Experts* Volte Posted August 14, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 14, 2003 dynamic_sysop: Are those ownerdrawn and hooked menus (hooked to get the flat border), or are they totally custom from-scratch menus? They look good. :) Quote
Leaders dynamic_sysop Posted August 14, 2003 Leaders Posted August 14, 2003 thanks voltface , i have created them from scratch and i'm very proud of them ( even if it's no match for a lot of menus that may be about ). i basically add a handler at start up , like this... Private WithEvents mnuItems As MenuItem Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim x As Integer For x = 0 To ContextMenu1.MenuItems.Count - 1 ContextMenu1.MenuItems.Item(x).OwnerDraw = True AddHandler ContextMenu1.MenuItems.Item(x).MeasureItem, AddressOf mnuItems_MeasureItem AddHandler ContextMenu1.MenuItems.Item(x).DrawItem, AddressOf mnuItems_DrawItem Next End Sub then just draw the menus with the draw event and measure event. :) Quote
*Experts* Volte Posted August 14, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 14, 2003 Oh I see... the border is flat because the XP style flattens them. If you go into classic windows mode, the menus will have a thick border. Still looks good though. :) You could look at my custom menu component here: http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/t69043.html and expand on the code to make the menus XP style rather than Office 2000 style if you like. That way the ownerdrawing process is totally automated. Divil also made an XP style menu based on my component, available at his site, but his source is not available. Quote
Leaders dynamic_sysop Posted August 14, 2003 Leaders Posted August 14, 2003 cheers i have already tested them both and think they are both great :) , having said that, i'm on a self-teaching session with graphics. i've basically had no starting pointers with graphics, just jumped in at the deep end and started piecing it together ( and surprisingly i'm figuring it out quite well seeing as i've never worked with graphics in vb before :-\ ) i have also made a listview with icons on subitems , but there's no onpaint event ( well you can add one, but it doesnt work ) so i'm having to do that a really long way. re-drawing the listview on all events , such as click , mouse up/down etc... if you know of a way to make onpaint work on a listview that'd be greatly appreciated:) Quote
