Splitting code across lines?

could you show me an example?

Yes, macros sound interesting.

A macro as a way to handle split lines? If so, please please show!

Or a macro as an abbreviation for long strings of code, that is, put the long strings in a macro and then use the macro in the code?

Wow, we three Aussies really want it bad!

a macro to basically shorten code. not for multilines.

How "dynamic" do you need it ? Otherwise id suggest you simply wrap them into teh Macro and call it. Otherwise this will take some thinking ( which i have to do after work later.. gah 4am and i cant sleep ... prolly fricken meds :/

If there was an option in the IDE to enable Scintilla word wrap then this would possibly solve this problem.

All the code that would be needed is:

Code: Select all

ScintillaSendMessage(gadget,#SCI_SETHSCROLLBAR,#False)
ScintillaSendMessage(gadget,#SCI_SETWRAPMODE,#SC_WRAP_WORD)
ScintillaSendMessage(gadget,#SCI_SETWRAPVISUALFLAGS,#SC_WRAPVISUALFLAG_END)

If the marker at the end of the wrapped line looked confusing then maybe it should be at the front with:

Code: Select all

SC_WRAPVISUALFLAG_START

I am afraid it's not that easy ...
Some highlighting code must also be modified (at least in jaPBe : adding these few lines is not enough).

NETMAESTRO shares a good solution

Very nice, but in case of error the compiler would report a 'wrong' error line I guess.

I don't know.
You know me, i'm a baby programmer

But this code works at the moment.

I did a couple of tests on my stuff and it appears to be completely transparent to the application. Its all done at draw time (it reports as being the same line # and everything).

On the line number column display, it skips lines that are continued.

Very true, and I'm currently experimenting with making another add-on tool that responds to a keypress that will convert the reported line to the correct one.

I made a slight patch for the PureBasic editor here:

It seems to work ok, but be careful - you never know!

I am new in PB, and I found an issue that I could not break down a long source statement very unconfortable. But not a big issue. I suggest that in source editor screen, those long statement can be seen continuous breaking down like in the rtf editor. but internally it continue as a single long statement.

Thanks

Very Long Source Statement.
