PureBasic Forums - English

Berikco: Seeing as your an Admin/Part of the PureBasic team, maybe you could speak to Freak/Fred about putting something like this actually in the editor for real. I don't think it could be too hard seeing the amount of code it takes?

I can add the option, its no problem.

Thanks. It would be great if the colour and indent amount could be user definable.

It would be perfect if the ident amount could be set to the same as the indent of the original line.

That's not available as an option in Scintilla. I prefer slighly indented more - thus the +16 indent.

If you join the official scintilla mailing list, you could suggest that as an option?

Excellent! I've set mine to #Red and now I can see it on my black IDE background.

> I can add the option

If you do, then please make sure you give all 3 options:

(1) Wrap enabled/disabled.
(2) Indent size, with 0 if the user wants.
(3) Color of visual arrows (the #Red I just mentioned above).

Even though it's not true line continuation, it makes a great way to quickly
toggle long lines to see the parts not currently visible, without having to use
the scrollbar or reach for the mouse. Anything time-saving like that is great!

Nice going guys!

Now if you can hack in and force real split lines ....

Thanks.

Now if you can hack in and force real split lines

I think that the only real neat solution for that one will have to come from Fred himself and be built into the compiler.

(2) Indent size, with 0 if the user wants.

I think that if the indicator is at the start then this may have to be 1 (this may be automatic?):

Scintilla Docs! wrote:The indention of sublines is independent of visual flags, but if SC_WRAPVISUALFLAG_START is set an indent of at least 1 is used.

> if the indicator is at the start then this may have to be 1

Yes, but what I mean is to not force the user to have an indent of X or something.

Freak: Do you think you will be able to put this in 4.30 (final) as an option?

Having the editor wrap is nice, but it doesn't solve the problem of posting
code here, where the long lines will still be long. A line continuation char
would still be the best solution (like space-underscore as in Visual Basic).

Giant !!!
Thanks a lot

This hack does not work with PB Version 4.50
Is any new solution out there?

This works in 4.51RC1.

I tried to set the indenting to follow on from the previous line, but failed , using the following:
The "2" comes from:

SC_WRAPINDENT_INDENT 2 Wrapped sublines are aligned to first subline indent plus one more level of indentation
