Constants Explorer [jaPBe plugin]

Constants Explorer (jaPBe standalone plugin) (last update : NOV 6th 2007)

Description
Constants Explorer is a Windows API constants plugin for jaPBe.
I use it to view / find values for constants not defined in Purebasic.

It can be used as a jaPBe plugin (Options\'Register jaPBe Plugin' button)
or not : just run ConstantsExplorer.exe from any directory. You will have
all the features minus the jaPBe copy functions.
If used as a jaPBe plugin, Constants Explorer will try to find the constant
you have selected in the jaPBe editor. If no valid text ("#...") is selected,
it will search the current word and the current line for a valid text.

Gnozal:
With jaPBe closed I get the message
JaPBe is not installed!

With jaPBe open, the message is
Please close jaPBe before (un)registering plugin!

I have jaPBe installed in E:\JaPBe

Also I dont have jaPBe in the default dir, my guess is that the plugin looks at there?!, I havent tryed it yet, I'll check out later, sounds very useful indeed!

Tip: Constant Filtering (by prefix).

I have the same problem, but I have jaPBe installed in U:\PureBasic\jaPBe.
I tried to register the plugin manually in jaPBe, but I don't have the integrated features,
i.e., search for the selected text, etc.

Well the the button "copy to jaPBe" works ok..

Although I dont like how the constants gets listed if it used a list gadget then you could easly select a constant and the program could paste only the constant name (instead of the whole line).

I suggested the filtering by prefix because sometimes I work with only a set of constants and I wouldnt like to have 3000 constants which im not going to use listed. hehe Just for that.

It would be nice if it had the constant types separated (by prefix again).

Hmm Im getting a lot of garbage when I paste to jaPBe..

Code: Select all

Sorry for the installation problems, it is an old tool wich worked well with older versions of jaPBe. As I have installed the plugin a long time ago, I was not aware of the installation problem. As for now, just copy the exe to the plugin directory.
I have just recompiled the stuff with PB3.93 and updated the list. I will have a look at the code later to fix the new problems.

Gnozal: very useful tool!
Just copied the exe to jaPBe's plugin directory and now it's working OK, no need to register as a plugin.
Thanx!

A bug: If I press the install plugin button, and explorer is open with Japbe as title, it detect it as japbe.exe, and a message pos up and asks me to close japbe.exe. Closing explorer fixed the problem.
