Blank ToolPanels

Post by Josh »

To build own tools at the toolspanel, it would be nice to have a blank panel (better more) for free use. At the moment i captured the Ascii Table, renamed it and hid the placed gadgets. It works, but it's not a really friendly way.

There are rumors freak is working on a plug-in system for the IDE.

Real plugins (DLLs?) or a scripting engine would for sure allow calling all internal functions of the IDE,
for example AddToolsPanel(), GetEditorCursorPos(), InsertEditorText(), AddMenuEntry(), GetProjectInfo( GetCurrentProject() ),
OutputMessage(), OutputError(), OutputWarning(), CreateDocument() / CreateTab(), and everything.

Dreams would become true... if it's really on the way. ;)

Hi Danilo,

do you mean this rumor? It's two years old :(

Fred and Freak makes a good job, but i think, there is to less time for more larger projects at the same time. So I prefer it to ask here for small and fast realizable wishes. In 5.10 three of my seven wishes were realized :D

Of course to have all this functions native would be fine, but since two days I'm playing with DLL injection and it seems to me, that nearly all is feasible.

No, actually I thought I read something about a real plug-in system.

Can't find a topic about it now... so it appears that it was just a crazy dream. Sorry. :oops:
