Sparkie, if you were a tall, gorgeous, blonde woman I would kiss you.
In case you're not - THANK YOU! This has been killing me for 2 days...

Citystate and Demivec - very much appreciate your assistance as well!

Now, to make sure I understand it :)

This is my 1st time working with the Scintilla ...

Still not working.

Ok, here is a complete working test app - except for the problem being discussed here... Still can't get the clicked text into a string gadget :(

I can't believe how much head scratching this is causing!


Change how the Scintilla control is initialized depending on whether you ...

I appreciate the help Demivec, but no luck. :(

that change results in the program terminating at that line with an error that the memory address is null.

I think my problem is with how I am accessing the structures - txtLen is always zero (should return the length of the selected string) which ...

Let me ask the question differently, because I'm at a loss...
Given these two, predefined structures:

Structure SCCharacterRange
cpMin.l
cpMax.l
EndStructure

Structure SCTextRange
chrg.SCCharacterRange
*lpstrText.b
EndStructure

How would you read/write to them?
What I have tried is below ...

This compiles without errors...but I am not getting the string I clicked...so I'm still doing something wrong.


SCICharRange.SCCharacterRange
SCITextRange.SCTextRange

;---- #SCN_HOTSPOTCLICK
Case #SCN_HOTSPOTCLICK
Position = *scinotify\Position
linenumber = ScintillaSendMessage (#SciID, #SCI ...

I need to declare an instance of the structure and use that - like so:

now, if I can figure out how to get the string populated, I think it will work...
does not return a string....

actually - SCCharacterRange and SCTextRange are predefined structures... they are the ones I'm having trouble with :(

From what I understand of the usage - i need to populate cpMax and cpMin with the start and end of the range I want to get... then call #SCI_GETTEXTRANGE

I actually get an error ...

Ok, I clearly don't know what i'm doing here...
What I am trying to do is grab the hotspot styled word the user clicks on and copy it to a string gadget. But I don't understand how to access the strucures properly. Here is my code:

;---- #SCN_HOTSPOTCLICK
Case #SCN_HOTSPOTCLICK

Delete the "jaPBe-Filelist" file and try again.

and delete in the japbe.pref the line "AutoLoad =".


It seems to be the "Autoload = *" line in the prefs file.
If I delete it, jaPBe starts up fine - but adds the line back into the prefs file.

I had to turn off "load last file at startup" to ...

When I open jaPBe on my laptop I get a "Can't open *" error with an "OK" button...

No matter how many times I click the button the error persists.

If I delete the prefs file jaPBe will start up fine the first time, but as soon as I reload I get the same error.

That's IT!

I assumed that the "root" folder would be created...excellent catch!


Very much appreciate your help and quick responses!

Just tried this:


Debug CreateDirectory("C:\test\test")


Fails (returns 0)

BUT


Debug CreateDirectory("C:\test\")


Works fine.

as does:

Debug CreateDirectory("C:\test\test\")


Ah ha! you say - "just add the trailing '\'!"

nope... tacking + "\" onto the original concatentation code ...

I was creating a little app to set up a series of directories...the user would enter their folder names in a series of String Gadgets and then I thoguht I could just iterate through them and create each directory....
No matter how I try to do it the create directory command fails.
I even replaced it ...

I looked at Realbasic as well...

Only one example, true...

One that seems kind of nice (if a bit pricey) is www.runrev.com

Thank you All!
ShellExecute does exactly what I wanted :)

PB -
I know that works at gadget creation time, can you also use that flag at runtime?

For what it's worth I was looking at Realbasic 5.2
Running through the demo "quickstart" tutorial they have you create a "URL Manager ...
