Automatic splitting code across lines...

[DoubleDutch]

Berikco: Seeing as your an Admin/Part of the PureBasic team, maybe you could speak to Freak/Fred about putting something like this actually in the editor for real. I don't think it could be too hard seeing the amount of code it takes?

[freak]

I can add the option, its no problem.

[DoubleDutch]

Thanks. It would be great if the colour and indent amount could be user definable.

[maw]

It would be perfect if the ident amount could be set to the same as the indent of the original line.

[DoubleDutch]

That's not available as an option in Scintilla. I prefer slighly indented more - thus the +16 indent.

If you join the official scintilla mailing list, you could suggest that as an option?

Excellent! I've set mine to #Red and now I can see it on my black IDE background.

> I can add the option

If you do, then please make sure you give all 3 options:

(1) Wrap enabled/disabled.
(2) Indent size, with 0 if the user wants.
(3) Color of visual arrows (the #Red I just mentioned above).

Even though it's not true line continuation, it makes a great way to quickly
toggle long lines to see the parts not currently visible, without having to use
the scrollbar or reach for the mouse. Anything time-saving like that is great!

Nice going guys!

Now if you can hack in and force real split lines ....

[DoubleDutch]

Thanks.

Now if you can hack in and force real split lines

I think that the only real neat solution for that one will have to come from Fred himself and be built into the compiler.

(2) Indent size, with 0 if the user wants.

I think that if the indicator is at the start then this may have to be 1 (this may be automatic?):

The indention of sublines is independent of visual flags, but if SC_WRAPVISUALFLAG_START is set an indent of at least 1 is used.

[PB]

> if the indicator is at the start then this may have to be 1

Yes, but what I mean is to not force the user to have an indent of X or something.

Freak: Do you think you will be able to put this in 4.30 (final) as an option?

[PB]

Having the editor wrap is nice, but it doesn't solve the problem of posting
code here, where the long lines will still be long. A line continuation char
would still be the best solution (like space-underscore as in Visual Basic).

Giant !!!
Thanks a lot

This hack does not work with PB Version 4.50
Is any new solution out there?

[Amundo]

This works in 4.51RC1.

I tried to set the indenting to follow on from the previous line, but failed , using the following:

Code: Select all

  SendMessage_(scintilla,#SCI_SETWRAPINDENTMODE, 2, 0)  ; <-- indent mode

The "2" comes from:

SC_WRAPINDENT_INDENT 2 Wrapped sublines are aligned to first subline indent plus one more level of indentation
