Some more speed gained in CodeRefresh_Click
(it was not necessary to order the progressbar in front each time a frame gets drawn)

for tUI:

re-odered once more and added 2 more tUI-templates.
re-named testscripts to be "UI_Samples"
added example tControl_Box (window-alike container) to the second sample-script

---

Better and better.
As soon as I will be in Scontilla I will for sure copy from thinIce.

IMPORTANT:
In the meantime I advice you that I made a change in #INCLUDE statement in next thinBasic version
Reading you code I just discover that #INCLUDE has a wrong logic in the calculation of the BasePath to consider for calculating the full include path.

Current logic is that BasePath is always the path of the main script.
Instead, every #INCLUDE files should have as BasePath the path of the source file having #INCLUDE inside it.

Reading your tUI.tBasicU I saw that you are oblidge to include sub files using base path tUI\
#INCLUDE Once "tUI\Type_Functions.tBasicU"


But this is not the way to do because tUI.tBasicU is already in the tUI\ directory.

I considered the new way of #Include - so should work both ways in thinICE... it will check at the parent-file-path first...

for thinICE itself to work both ways, i changed from

Code:

---

#INCLUDE Once "tUI\tUI.tBasicU"
' etc.

---

to

Code:

---

#INCLUDEDIR "%app_sourcepath%\tUI" 
#INCLUDE Once "tUI.tBasicU"

---

+fixes (typos) in tScript.Load()

On typing "Redim [Preserve] " now we also have all global arrays in autocomplete-list...
thinICE.tBasic, VariableListGlobal() picks them from Vartree...

...and did the Shift-thing. Now you scroll in codefield as if Shift is pressed (10 lines). Press Shift to scroll single lines,
Shift + CTRL to scroll 100 lines, CTRL to scroll 1000 lines...
try other combinations of shift/ctrl/menu-keys to see what they do.
Other controls still scroll single lines without any shifting keys

re-structured the DOWNLOAD again to be more clear.

I also added some readme.txt- files that explain the content of each folder.

+ another improvement today:

Insert code-blocks or toggle breakpoints at the current scriptline
- just click onto the linenumbers of the codefield...

PS. seems i forgot to comment Uses "console"...


and once again mentioned, in case someone reads it:
tControl_Treeview is able to return text...

try:
load any project,
right-click on codetree and select to "copy tree to clipboard".
paste into something that is able to receive text from clipboard
and you'll have your project-overview - ready to document...

today

thinICE:

finetuning tControl_Codefield
-> highlight line-number of current codeline so you'll know where codeblocks get inserted when you click onto the line-numbers

finetuning tControl_Autocomplete
-> faster now
-> list of suggestions reduces automatic instead of creating complete new list of suggests each time
-> list persists now when typing chars...
-> detects more situations when array-variables will follow and suggests them

tUI:

added tControl_Multiline.TextGetArray()
-> enable all controls that Extends tControl_Multiline to retrieve textlines into byref passed dynamic string-array
fixed tUI.ProceedInput() since the tooltip-timer kept the function to return TRUE
-> typing faster again

more added to

autocomplete:

• suggesting the correct Do/For/While in case user types "Exit " or "Iterate "
• lots of auto-completing for UI-module, so if you type stuff as "Control "
it will suggest "Add","Append", "AppendToTop", "Disable" etc.
if you type "Set ", you'll get suggestions, depending on what's previous "Set ",
for example
if "Declare Set " it will suggest "Address" and "At"
if "Dialog Set " then suggests "Client", "Color", "Gradient" etc.
• autocomplete also knows "With" and what it means
• autocomplete knows many more situations and what to suggest

codefield:

• known global names (functions, variables, udts etc.) are printed bold now
• fixed missing horizontal scroll when maximizing codewindows
• fixed horizontal movement when typing in codefield
• fixed duplicate creation of file-node at codetree when #Include of a not existing file

PS. for a while i will leave an older version attached to hunt some bug in tb

Image:
remember to press CTRL+T once in a while to update the tree...
right-click into codefield to access the context-menu as shown
left-click onto line-numbers to insert code-blocks.
to "write" the scripts as shown was a matter of a few seconds only...

More tuning again... how fast can we get...?


+ added & fixed lots of small things
+ added one more tab, allows you to set Options,

Download as usual from first post of this thread.

If you check out the image you'll see a yellow highlight in the numeric textbox where the mouse is over.
Numeric textboxes value can change by using the mousewheel as long as the textbox does not have input-focus ;)

Typing is now much more fluent, no delays and no keys seems lost.
Auto completion: really great.

new version of today

- fixed bug when editing text after selecting token via doubleclick in codefield

Download here, as always.

todays new feature:

mouse-wheel-scroll-speed customizeable. Check the boxes according to your likes.
If for example "Xor Shift-Key" is checked then you'll scroll as if Shift-Key were pressed and you have to press Shift-Key to scroll single lines.

fixed:
missing properties of local udt-variables now back in autocomplete
invalid fontID at treeview on initial load
autocomplete covered cursor / current codeline in some cases

Download here

...

Huhuuu,

really, superfluent typing! I need to study more deeply how we can avoid those keyboardmaps...
