Constants Explorer PB IDE plugin (last update : NOV 6th 2007)
Description
Constants Explorer is a plugin for the new purebasic editor.
It's the PB-IDE version of my jaPBe plugin.
It's a constant viewer. You can use it standalone or from the PB IDE.
When started from the tool menu (or shortcut) in the PB IDE, the plugin
will search for the constant under the cursor.
You can copy a constant to the clipboard or directly copy / paste it to the
PB IDE (into the active scintilla component at current cursor position).

It's by design : it's only a string search. I could add an option to search only before the '=' character.

Update
Changes
- Added 'Only value' checkbox : if checked, the plugin only searches for the constant value [and not for any occurence in the list]

Hi,
I didn't take a look at your program, but it looks like the API Viewer:

...and this one rocks, I wouldn't want to miss it.

Not exactly, it's only for Win API constants.

Another great job by gnozal!
Just some suggestions:
- put the list in a listicongsdget with three columns: name, value, description
- option to search in :
all
name
value
description
- resizable window

Update
Changes
- Updated constants list
- The search is now context sensitive :
. if you enter a name, it will search for a constant
. if you enter a value, it will search for a value
. examples : WM_CLOSE -> constant, 255 -> value, $FF -> value, F5 -> constant, 2F : error (not a valid name or value)

I mean that for exam: "copy constant to PB IDE" text is not visible.
and other texts are invisible.
only "Find constant" and "Options" tab text are visible.

The 'copy constant to clipboard' function is only available if a constant is selected.
The 'copy constant to PB IDE' functions are only available if a constant is selected
and the Purebasic IDE (3.94+) is running.
