Γεια σου (Yasou) or Hello Robert,

Please read and add latest version of NotifyIcon.DLL(NotifyIcon Libary post #14)

I also suggest you to remove ni.New1 form mnuMinimize_Click and add it somewhere in the Sub App_Start to conserve memory. And you can do the same with ni.Add. If someone click on upper right X your editor will be invisible but with no icon. And finally remove ni.Remove as it will run by your app while exiting.



BTW1. Very nice editor. Congratulations to you and Specci48 (or Specci48K)

BTW2. It is a good idea to add in the Version Data section the names of the needed images.

Hi all,

small upgrade on version 1.03:

1. new - ASCII support
2. new - setting "Always prompt on exit"
3. bugfix - reset form name on "New"

cheers

@alfcen
small question: What editor are you using? Because the tabbing of the source looked awful after you edited it ...

Yasou Dimitris,

oshirase domo arigato gozaimasu (thanks very much for the information).

With the latest NotifyIcon version I encountered this error on the desktop:

"System string object cannot be casted by System.Windows.Forms.Control"

which is strange because its the device lib.

Anyway, I spare you the original Japanese message


You are right, ni.New1 and ni.Add really belong into App_Start.
Device memory is crucial.

Hallo specci48,

Thanks a lot, looks like we are getting somewhere
Today, I made the following modifications:

1. Open File checks whether file is UTF-8 or ASCII and sets a utf flag.
2. Encoding (UTF-8 or ASCII) added to Form.Text upon Open and Save As.
3. ErrorLabel added to Open and Save subs to close file handle in case of error.
4. Character and word count added to the Edit menu.
5. SaveDialog Filter reduced to "*.txt" only (any others throw an error on the device, probably due to file association settings).
6. Notifyicon disabled for the time being until I get the error out of the way.

Would you mind if I removed the "Use ASCII coding by default" check box?
I feel this affects user-friendliness by overloading the editor with options.
Besides, you have kindly added Save As UTF-8 and ASCII, which, in my believe, is sufficient care of encoding.

I will submit the new source (Ver 1.04) shortly after some more testing. Please be so kind as to stand by until then. As you said it, "the one who finds a bug is entitled to keep it"

The version history is a nice gesture of yours.

I am using the IDE under Japanese o/s, but I believe the mess is due to the fact that I set my Tab Size to 1, now to 2.

Cheers
Robert

Hi speeci48,

Here we go with Ver 1.04, latest modifications are:

1. Open File checks whether file is UTF-8 or ASCII and sets utf flag.
2. Encoding (UTF-8 or ASCII) added to Form.Text upon Open and Save As.
3. ErrorLabel added to Open and Save subs to close file handle in case of error.
4. Character and word count added to the Edit menu.
5. Auto-format added to the Edit menu (removes superfluous spaces and CRs).

henshu_d.zip contains the merged dlls for the desktop. Now trying the same thing for the device.

Hi Rob,

Works fine with NotifyIcon. Attached is the new NotifyIcon.dll and Henshu.sbp with 2 more lines of code in your App_Start (I also added the icon Henshu.ico in your sbp file and NotifyIcon.dll as a device component).

Cheers

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks a lot for all the trouble you are taking for me.

Since ni.New1 is protected by If cPPC Then... the errors is gone
Also, no problems on the device, however, minimizing the screen does not show the programm icon in the device tray.

I assume that I need a WM5/6 device to fully enjoy the fruits your work.
Never mind, if it works for you it will work for others, too, and that's all I want.

Is your Japanese any better since my last posts? A good Greek red wine will help remember

Hi Robert,

small upgrade from me on version 1.05:

1. control "txtEdit" with Horizontal and Vertikal Scrollbar
2. Panels with Border and movable
3. Automatic orientation (Landscape) on device


Ciao,
Filippo
