Super Editor - (UPDATE 3 bottom post)

Im looking for maybe 1 or 2+ users to test the program. If you wish to be a tester for updated releases credit will be given where due.

The known errors and details are in the Read Me.txt file.

I especially need someone to test the print function as i dont have a printer, and to test the program in general.

Please feel free to leave negative comments aswell.

Although the program may seem simple it is leading onto bigger things. My syntax highlighter is currently messed up but when that it is fixed that will be implemented into the program, along with MDI tabbed interface and more.

Until then this is the program ready for testing, its first major beta release.

Thanks for the time:thumb:

As soon as i pressed the button i knew i forget the files

Then i tried adding the rar which was 20KB over, so now the zip is there, 270KB :rolleyes:

You are not going to get anyone to test something that is compiled.

If you want people to test your code, attach the source code.

The MDI Tab interface would be best suited, it will look much better when that is implemented and more user friendly. Also it would be better if it prompts the user to print. Rather than do it independently. What i mean is to include page setup and print preview properties they should also be on your TODO list ;)

As for help with the syntax highlighter issue, it will be helpful if you also zip up and post the code.

Ideas have been noted.....files are compiled, though i can ASSURE you they are safe to run...

UPDATED:

Now has MDI style (incomplete for I/O functions) and general interface.

Program bit messy for now but after a few hours finally figured a way of doing it MDI style with ability to determine which editor is currently in use:eek2:

Not much other change yet but the half done MDI, feel free to test this if you want. not really needed yet, just a update:afrog:

MDI interface currently does:

> create a new tabbed document
> close the current tabbed document
> determine in the current document has been changed

Alot more is needed, code needs seriously tidying its messy:eek:

UPDATE:

> Added ASCII Chart which allows easy insertion of characters, numbers and symbols

> Document Shredder to permanently shred sensitive documents quick and simple to use like before

> Interface is now user friendly with ability to open, view and edit multiple documents at once, which works well. Some minor adjustments needed

> Removed my Office XP, i found it to be a bit buggy sometimes and slightly cluttered

> Print still needs doing, will look into displaying a print preview then print options, havnt started with this yet

> ..eventualy allow editing of practically all file types (basic, cpp, html, pascal...etc)

This will be the latest version for a while now, unless a minor release is to be done.

Still needs a thorough run through the code for error handling etc, but here it is, Update 3:cool:

And thanks for the interest in the program so far, and do expect something big from this, but not too big yet :sick::sick: been on this for donkies now, be glad to chill on Halo 3 when i get it :D

Super Editor v1.9.3

Features:

> Ability to clear the windows recent documents menu
> Ability to edit documents up to 2GB in size
> Accepts files opened from outside the program
> ASCII Chart which allows easy insertion of characters, numbers and symbols
> Document Information Viewer to display information on the document you are working on

Known Bugs, Problems and Incomplete Functions:

> Allow only one instance of the program, just create a new tab if opened from windows, not a new instance
> Changing case of many different formatted text sometimes removes the formatting properties
> Changing case of text also doesnt allow undo/redo
> Max size needs a slight change
> Tab headers should show filename and not full path, only form caption and statusbar should show filepath and name
> Printing the document needs testing, options need to be added with print preview abilities
> Selecting all text and changing the font properties removes previous formatting, these should be kept if it is only the name and size being changed.
> Word count could also include characters, symbols and words, not just lines.
> Syntax highlighter is still full of problems, not a must have at the moment, will be needed for the advanced version....eventually:sick:....UPDATE: Fixed alot of problems with it earlier, is now in latter stages of development, though lacks many advanced features will integrate nicely into this program hopefully :afrog:

[ Possible Future Enhancements ]

> Ability to associate the program with common file extensions
> Auto save
> Built in virtual keyboard
> Code storage utility for the various programming languages
> Insert of pictures and smilies
> Macros
> Make the Office XP better and smoother and implement it
> Multi undo/redo
> Spell Checker
> Work with practically all file types, including common programming and scripting languages with syntax - 2 Software versions, simple for just document editing (for smaller, fast, less memory use), advanced version to handle a heck of a lot more stuff which will take more memory
