LineEdit or DocEdit are not particulary well suited for this.

Hi,

I have a little suggestion for LineEdit Ctrl to realize special selection.
Here is an example i developed on Windows platform.
I suppose I can do more complex selection form and functionnality using mouse events and keys.

index.php?t=getfile&id=3075&private=0

That looks quite interesting. Especially block selection can be very powerful tool, if the related functionality (clipboard operations,deleting,find&replace,etc...) is well implemented. It would be very nice to have it e.g. in theide (as the editor is LineEdit based).

That looks very promising. I can't wait to try block selection. If you could implement inserting/removing chars in all block rows simultaneously as you type (like in UltraEdit for example) that would be really great. Anyway good job Smile

Indeed, good job and that will definitely be useful.

Another nice editor which you can get inspiration from: Programmer's Notepad.

It's based on Scintilla, and makes use of those kind of features (multi-column selection, multi-paste) and implements test clips, text templates, python scripting interface and much, much more.

The videos on the developer's blog are worth watching to understand what I mean.

Keep up the effort, and thanks!

Hi everybody,

I submit here a new version of the advanced LineEditCtrl.
index.php?t=getfile&id=3084&private=0

How to do:
Push ALT key, and press left mouse button, move mouse anywhere and leave mouse button.

I don't get select implementation as i want for the moment. It just marks a block very well with a caret at the end.

At line number 679 of AdvLineEdit.cpp, i must add function to select words into the block AND SO activate all menu of contextual bar.

Do someone have an idea!!

The main problem is to keep selected words that will activate bar functions (Copy CTRL+C, CUT CTRL+X, ...):
- what variable is used to keep selected words
- what variable I must swich on (boolean?)

Thanks,

Ratah
