SynPlus 2.X

[m^2]

Bug, from tcup.pl
When a file contains 0x00 character, SynPlus stops reading at it and forgets about the rest of the file.

m^2,
Right-click - Plugin settings - Files - Check when loading on "zero" symbols (0x0) perhaps?

So it's not a bug
Thank you.

Can someone please compile the Delphi sources of mod_sample.rar and put the compiled library online? Thanks!

1) It is not a good idea to use the Delphi String type (in structure ModInfo) for the interface as there is no equivalent type in C/C++.

2) Is there a chance to get the file name / file pointer of the active file?

3) What is the meaning of the third parameter (pSynPlusStr) of InitializeModule()?

4) The bitmap returned by GetMenuBitmap() never shows up in the menu of SynPlus.

This is my C/C++ example code.

Code: Select all

HINSTANCE hinstance;

typedef struct
{
	char ModName[50];
	BOOL Autoload;
	BOOL Editor;
} ModInfo;

HBITMAP __stdcall GetMenuBitmap()
{
	return (HBITMAP) LoadImage(hinstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(LOGO), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR);
}

BOOL __stdcall GetModuleInfo(ModInfo* Info)
{
	strcpy(Info->ModName, "My Module");
	Info->Autoload = TRUE;
	Info->Editor = FALSE;
	return TRUE;
}

DWORD __stdcall InitializeModule(HWND MainWND, HWND PluginWND, char* pSynPlusStr, int SelStart, int SelEnd)
{
	return MAKELONG(0,0);
}

void  __stdcall SetApiVer(DWORD ApiVer)
{
/*
	WORD l = LOWORD(ApiVer);
	WORD h = HIWORD(ApiVer);
*/
}

BOOL WINAPI DllMain(HINSTANCE hinstDLL, DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID lpvReserved)
{
	switch (fdwReason)
	{
		case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH :
			hinstance = hinstDLL;
			DisableThreadLibraryCalls(hinstDLL);
			break;

		case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH :
			break;
	}
	return TRUE;
}

Possible you right

) Is there a chance to get the file name / file pointer of the active file?

At opening file SynPlus will send name of new file, call
function SetNewFile(PluginWND:HWND;fName:PChar):

What is the meaning of the third parameter (pSynPlusStr) of InitializeModule()?

Pointer on opened in SynPlus text.

What is the meaning of the third parameter (pSynPlusStr) of InitializeModule()?

My sample

function GetMenuBitmap: HBITMAP; stdcall;
begin
result:=LoadImage(hinstance, 'LOGO', IMAGE_BITMAP , 0, 0,LR_DEFAULTCOLOR );
end;

Image 'LOGO' - resourche in your module, must be Bitmap 16x16

1) When exactly is SetNewFile() called? Does the plugin need to call this function itself?

2) When debugging a C/C++ plugin in InitializeModule() I notice that pSynPlusStr is never a valid char pointer.

3) I installed comments.dll, executer.dll, fileprop.dll, listsort.dll, shot.dll and translit.dll. The bitmap of neither plugin shows up in the menu of SynPlus.

4) I use SynPlus to show thumbnails of text files. If the text to displayed is less in size than the thumbnail display sometimes an invalid text is appended. See my video.

First of all thanks alot 4 SynPlus. I use it since hpg_ed is unsupported. But one thing is annoying me a bit: You can open SynPlus in a TCmd window using CTRL-Q (quickview). But then you cannot close it anymore with CTRL-Q, after editing some text, you first have to click on the source window and then CTRL-Q. The Button for quickview from the buttonbar is not affected.

Files can only be saved in PC/Ansi encoded format. That means each line is terminated with carriage-return and line-feed character. UNIX/Linux only uses carriage-return. Could you offer an option in the 'save as' dialog?

Wrong
Unix / Linux uses only line-feed !

How can I change location of SynPlus config file?

Currently config file is stored in the plug-in's directory ([face=courier]c:\Program Files\TotalCmd\plugins\wlx\synPlus[/face]). It works correctly in Windows XP (and earlier), but under Vista applications aren't allowed to store any data in the [face=courier]Program Files[/face] folders (it's possible but require some special actions in the application).

I tired to select User profile directory in the plug-in's settings but it doesn't work for me -- plug-in still try to store configuration in the SynPlus directory.

Hi,

i need some help for the highlighting in synplus. First of all i'd like to create a highlighter that will be used if no other matching highlighter can be found. Especially for files with no extension. How can i do that ?

Furthermore do i need a rule to highlight all rows that starts with a the string "C " (no quotation marks). I tried to implement this in an existing highligher, but i was not able to get it to work.

Many thanks for your help

Clas

[Clas Hortien]

Hups,

now i solved it by myself:

you have to create a file "none" without extension in the highlighters directory. This will be used for files without extension.

Regards

Clas

I cannot get synplus 2.7.1 to highlight python.

I have in my .ini:

PY=python.hgl

but it shows with no highlighting.
The rules (and example) seem to be ok when I run a file in the highlighters folders called highlighting.exe

I do have a python.hgl file, not sure where I got it from.

Any idea what to test next?

Thanks

Hi!

I've installed SynPlus 2.7.3 on Windows Vista using the default Aero theme. It works fine, however, the settings dialog is displayed using black text on black background, which is kind of hard to read When I'm using the classic Windows XP theme the settings dialog is displayed fine - but I don't want to switch the theme every time I need to change the settings.

Is this a problem of TotalCommander, or a problem of the plugin? I've never seen such a problem with other plugins, or with other tools.

Best regards,
hensz
