I want to have my customized DialectCodeEditor, someone PythonCodeEditor etc. with connections to I guess different Assists. And, I guess, we all want different right click popup menus.

What would be the best for all interested sides:
1. a separate UppCodeEditor, PythonCodeEditor etc. by sublassing from CodeEditor or
2. expanding the existing interface?
3. other alternatives.

I've started the 1.option succesfully but I don't want to waste my time if later some new grand changes will emerge. Also, I want to know the best technical considerations.

Well, the most safe approach would be to base your efforts on LineEdit (CodeEditor is derived from it as well).

Personally, I would most likely used CodeEditor, mosty to get Find&Replace, and reimplemented highlighting section.

But where to insert the code for popup context menu?
I've made my DialectCodeEditor derived from CodeEditor with adjusted HighlightLine and extra menu items.

something like this:
class DEditor : public CodeEditor {

    virtual  void HighlightLine(int line, Vector<LineEdit::Highlight>& hl, int pos);
public:
	void     OnListMenu(Bar& bar);
	void ToolEditInsert(Bar& bar);
	void testInsert();

	typedef DEditor CLASSNAME;

	DEditor();
	~DEditor() {;}
};


It works quite nicely (I rewrote HighlightLine implementation)
Why do you think I should use LineEdit?

Well, as part of CtrlLib, it has quite fixed interface.

However, in fact, I suggested that just as option. I believe that deriving CodeEditor is a way to go.

I know that! Smile It works for me. I even made dynamic menus. But I'am asking in which place of the uppsrc/ide files or classes you are going to make connections with existing Assist menu items like "Go to definition/declaration"? Are you going to change LineEdit?!

Not sure what the question is... If you are asking about how I plan to add assist++ items to CodeEditor (which indeed should happen), then LineEdit::WhenBar is a perfect way how to do that. And it will likely be in the "ide" package, not "CodeEditor"...

Could you be more precise? I want to guess your logic of thinking and experiment. Smile

Ide::Ide
{
......
    editor.WhenBar = THISNACK(IdeEditorLocalMenu);
......
}


Is that what you have on mind? (I am not sure).

And then in idebar.cpp...
Quote:


void Ide::IdeEditorLocalMenu(Bar& menu)
{ //what items are needed put here?...
menu.Add(AK_JUMPS, THISBACK(JumpS));
menu.Add(AK_SWAPS, THISBACK(SwapS));
menu.Add(AK_JUMPS, THISBACK(JumpS));
menu.Separator();
editor.StdBar(menu);
//add extra item "customize menu..."
}


Thanks! ...Need to add some "if" logic here...

Edit: I mean, it works Smile
