Thanks Fred, at lease someone replied

Just thought I'd release some of the helpper functions that I'm building to test the verious features of the editor.

have noted one bug so far, if the EditorID in ScintillaSendMessage() doesn't exist it will core dump.

Code: Select all

Declare Set_SciCaret(editorid.l,color.l,width.l,blinkrate.l)
Declare Set_SciCaretLine(editorid.l,color.l,visable.l)
Declare Set_SciDefaultBGrdFGrd(editorid,stylecolorbg,stylecolorfg)
Declare Set_SciFont(editorid.l,fontname.s,fontsize.l,fontantialias.l)

Procedure Set_SciCaret(editorid.l,color.l,width.l,blinkrate.l)
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_SETCARETFORE,color,0)
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_SETCARETWIDTH,width,0)
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_SETCARETPERIOD,blinkrate,0)
EndProcedure

Procedure Set_SciCaretLine(editorid.l,color.l,visable.l)
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_SETCARETLINEBACK,color,0)
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_SETCARETLINEVISIBLE,visable,0)
EndProcedure

Procedure Set_SciDefaultBGrdFGrd(editorid,stylecolorbg,stylecolorfg)
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_STYLESETBACK,#STYLE_DEFAULT,stylecolorbg)
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_STYLESETFORE,#STYLE_DEFAULT,stylecolorfg)
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_STYLECLEARALL,0,0)
EndProcedure

Procedure Set_SciFont(editorid.l,fontname.s,fontsize.l,fontantialias.l)
	antialias.s=""
	If(fontantialias=1) : antialias="!" : EndIf
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_STYLESETFONT,0,fontname+antialias)
	ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_STYLESETSIZE,0,fontsize)	
EndProcedure

Procedure Set_SciZoom(editorid,zoominout.l)
	If zoominout=#True
		ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_ZOOMIN,0,0)
	Else
		ScintillaSendMessage(editorid,#SCI_ZOOMOUT,0,0)
	EndIf
EndProcedure

olejr: wasn't refering to you good'o chap

more the many people that posted in threads about it wanting it, then when it does come out 'silents', I'm putting this down to "It's not the windows version so who cares" thoery.

In that theme of windows, the windows one will come when I am happy with the linux version, I am not fully happy with it right at this moment, work wonderfully but, it needs my aprovel of satisfaction on it before I start on the windows one, which "suprise suprise" I have to relearn alot of the stuff I did for linux, on windows.

I know one thing about the windows version (to come) scintilla needs to be retargeted to output a .lib not a .dll

which is about the only progress I've made on the subject.

I think this work you have done is wonderful, I see it as the first steps to a real Linux based PureBasic code editor. I also believe there are many like me who get excited about any work done on the Linux side of PureBasic, but who also do not speak up.

Any way, I intend to have a PureBasic/Linux free-for-all this weekend and I will mess around with this lib (if I can finish recovering my server).

Fred, alittle off topic here.
Think you could make an install package for Linux?
Everytime I install a distro I always get problems with missing asm and other files. Would be great to have a complete install package. or atleast gz package with all nesessary files

olejr · Post by **olejr** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 12:41 pm

@GeoTrail: Everything you need when it comes to asm and stuff is included..
When it comes to SDL/GTK stuff it all come down to what kind of distro you use.. (apt, rpm or tar.gz)..
And itis already included in your distro.. Should be anyway..

GeoTrail · Post by **GeoTrail** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 12:51 pm

OK, remember I'm no big-time Linux buff. Just experiement with it occationally

Anyways, I've seen some programs that comes with install scripts/packages. I know so since I've downloaded a few things for Mandrake and some of them can install and setup icons and such byitself. That is what I mean. I'm not too good with Linux and I'm also pretty lazy

What would probably help people, not familiar with Linux, is a step by step installation guide for a particular distro - from the GTK+ lib/SDL package installation all the way down to the best editor.

Would this be of interest?

olejr · Post by **olejr** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 1:05 pm

Well it's very easy to get pb working on linux really..
As long as you read the INSTALL file...

.. and stay away from the new WebGadget() function in v3.92..

BTW: I'm on Mandrake myself so just ask if there's something you don't understand..

@beach: that would be a good idea...

I once made a bash script to install it, lost it when I was messing around with parition locations, -- ahh what a nightmare that was --, had to gather my file back with a hex editor, and re-write the partition table start - ends back _by HAND!_ <shivers> I don't see any reason why I couldn't rewrite it again.

PureBasic IDE.. uhmm (working on that now, well I had to test the library with something didn't I)

GeoTrail · Post by **GeoTrail** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 1:13 pm

@Beach: Yeah that would be great. My favorite distros are Mandrake, Gentoo and Xandros.

@olejr: I did a clean install of Mandrake 10.1 earlier this week and followed the install file line by line. When I typed pbcompiler I got the message which is stated in the install file. But got lots of errors when I tried to compile a simple hello program about missing files.

olejr · Post by **olejr** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 1:38 pm

and the errors was??
(something gtk'ish i think..

)

make sure these rpm's are installed:

libgtk+1.2-1.2.10-40
libgtk+1.2-devel-1.2.10-40
libgtk+2.0_0-2.4.9-4
libgtk+2.0_0-devel-2.4.9-4

libSDL1.2-1.2.7-7
libSDL1.2-devel-1.2.7-7

And those that these deppend on..

I'm gonna install Gentoo later tonight. Lets see how that goes
