How to passing all selected files to Editor (F4)

[slidg]

When we press F4, TC only passing the file which under cursor to editor, but "ChoiceEditor" can retrieve all of the selected files.
For a button, maybe we can set %L as its parameter, but "ChoiceEditor" does not do that, then how to realize it like "ChoiceEditor"? who know?
Thanks!

ChoiceEditor reads the list of the selected files manually, by sending to TC cm_CopyNamesToClip or something. There is no "normal" possibility to open several files in an editor, except for using lst2multi/lst2str programs.

Thanks!
You are right, I found that clipboard was changed after ChoiceEditor run.
Then how to send such cm_CopyNamesToClip to TC? like this?
sendMessage(TC_hwnd, WM_COMMAND, cm_CopyNamesToClip, NULL) ?

slidg
SendMessage(TC_hwnd, WM_USER+51, 2018, NULL);
// 2018 == cm_CopyFullNamesToClip

How does ListLoadNext (lister API) work? I think it wold do the same, but also inside archives \ on ftp.

ListLoadNext has nothing to do with cm_CopyNamesToClip.

Really?
I'll ask more precisely. Does ListLoadNext give the next file on the list or the next selected?
If selected - It can be used to retrive a list of selected files, in archives \ on ftp TC would copy everything to temp and repack the files that were modified.

No, ListLoadNext is for different purpose at all. It's called *by TC* when you move to next file. You cannot use it to get *from TC* next name.

I can press 'n' from inside my plugin.

You'll get next selected name (probably).
