One group of them by their nature seem to be singleton objects, and therefore I shouldn't ever delete them (IPN, IOptions, etc.). Another group is things I define my own descendant class for, and therefore I should create and destroy them myself (event sinks, for example).</p> <p>However, there are two groups I'm not sure about. One of them is things like IDocument. Are these pointers to copies of objects that I take ownership of, or are they pointers to the same objects the main program is using, and therefore the main program retains ownership?</p> <p>The other group (well, a group of one) is MenuItems, which I pass to the main program via AddPluginMenuItems. Does the main program take ownership of this, or should I delete it when the plugin exits?</p> <p>Most of the strings passed back and forth seem to be either const'ed or passed via PN::BaseString. I assume that any const char*/wchar_t* I pass to the main program are copied if necessary, and thus I can safely free them after the call. Similarly, if I get them from the main program, I assume I have to copy them if I want to keep them around.</p> <p>There are, however, three examples of non-const wchar_t* being returned. On two of those, there is a comment indicating that I should use PN::ReleaseString when I'm done with it. Am I correct in my assumption that the other one should be treated the same way? The method in question is:</p> <p><code>virtual wchar_t* InputBox(const wchar_t* title, const wchar_t* caption) = 0;</code> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/4903#post-7080 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 11:32:56 +0000 Patabugen 7080@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hey All,</p> <p>I know there's been a few mentions of PN on Linux before, and I also know that Simon has no intention of specifically supporting it.</p> <p>However it does run under WinE and I am very grateful for it! there are millions of editors on Linux but none fit my working style quite like PN does and I have yet to find a native one I like.

The overall structure is A|B</p> <p>A: RegEx to match the rest of a line NOT BEGINNING with "LogStep"<br /> B: RegEx to match the rest of a line that DOES begin with "LogStep" - capture the text (and a CRLF new line)</p> <p>The whole thing is wrapped in a the expression: ^(?:A|B)</p> <p>where ^ asserts the beginning of a line, and (?: ) is a non-capture group - that is it treated as a group but not captured into \1 or \2 etc. - this outer non-capture group creates separation. Without it our expression would need to be: ^A|^B</p> <p>Since the expression A contains no capture groups BUT the overall expression DOES contain capture 2 capture groups \1 and \2 will be empty when expression A matches. When B matches \1 is the text inside of the quotation marks, and \2 is a crlf (\r\n) pair. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/7351#post-10483 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:41:02 +0000 ascend4nt 10483@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Since the au3.scheme file on the Add-Ons page is outdated, and I've been using Programmer's Notepad 2 to do some script editing, I decided to update the scheme so that syntax highlighting works as it does in SciTE.</p> <p>Here's a link to the updated au3.scheme file:<br /> <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/ascend4ntscode/autoit3-syntax-highlighters/au3.scheme?attredirects=0&#038;d=1" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/ascend4ntscode/autoit3-syntax-highlighters/au3.scheme?attredirects=0&#038;d=1</a></p> <p>Just put that in the 'schemes' folder and restart the program.</p> <p>Thanks for this great program!<br /> Ascend4nt </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/7233#post-10348 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:12:22 +0000 maroQ 10348@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I have written translation to Polish language and I have add it in here: <a href="https://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=1539&#038;thanks=1539&#038;ts=1325102927" rel="nofollow">https://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=1539&#038;thanks=1539&#038;ts=1325102927</a></p> <p>Plz let me know when you will add it to Programmers Notepad.</p> <p>I'm using Programmers Notepad right now so if there will be any translation problem I will try to solve it :D </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5483#post-8400 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:07:59 +0000 Nux 8400@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Simon could you add some note on top of <a href="http://pnotepad.org/docs/pypn_api_pages">PyPN API Description</a> that methods of scintilla module not mapped/implemented in PyPN can still be used with SendMessage function like this:<br /> <code>pn.CurrentDoc().SendMessage(methodCode, firstArgument, secondArgument)</code></p> <p>And that codes of methods can be found at:<br /> <a href="http://scintilla.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/scintilla/scintilla/file/tip/include/Scintilla.iface" rel="nofollow">http://scintilla.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/scintilla/scintilla/file/tip/include/Scintilla.iface</a></p> <p>I think it might save some time for others. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/6545#post-9574 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 09:41:27 +0000 paulbohmer 9574@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi all<br /> Is there a way to display a column no or vertical line indicator as a toolbar ?<br /> Thanx great tool </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/6972#post-10020 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 19:40:14 +0000 metaphor 10020@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi there, thanks for the program first of all.</p> <p>I just installed it and find a feature that auto-closes tags, like for instance typing a &lt; and instantly getting a &gt;.

So I thought I would write up my experience to help others out. Sorry I don't have a nice step-by-step guide but I was not keeping careful notes and don't have time to work though it carefully. </p> <p>Now the big challenge here is that PN uses the Windows Template Library (WTL) which is an open source project based upon the Microsoft proprietary Active Template Library (ATL). If you have the professional version of Visual Studio (C++) then everything is sunshine and rainbows because VS comes with ATL.</p> <p>However, if you only have the express version that things are more complicated because it does not ship with ATL. The good news is that Microsoft makes ATL 7.1 available via the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11800">Windows Driver Kit</a>. This version requires a couple of tweaks to work but luckily others have been working though using WDK ATL -- I used <a>this blog post</a> on building Google Chrome with VS2008Express to get started.</p> <p>I downloaded and installed and registered the Windows platform SDK<br /> I downloaded and installed WDK 7.1 (also contains ATL 7.1)<br /> I applied a <a href="https://gist.github.com/227555">patch to altstdthink.h</a> (see item #7 in the blog)<br /> I download and built Boost 1.48.</p> <p>Updated the paths in the pn project and built it.</p> <p>At this point when I built PN I had a lot of warnings for the form:</p> <p><code>warning LNK4254: section &#039;ATLP&#039; (50000040) merged into &#039;.rdata&#039; (40000040) with different attributes</code></p> <p>and used <a href="http://atlserver.codeplex.com/workitem/12158">this link</a> for a little modification to atlisapi.h which seems to have fixed the issue.</p> <p>So after that I compiled pn.exe and had some issues running it but once I compiled the projects pn + the scintilla the program ran beautifully :)</p> <p>So if you are using VS2010 Express you can build PN! Might have some issues but you can work though them. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/6564#post-9595 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:34:06 +0000 dejagames 9595@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I have 2 text files and need the manner of find the differences between them.

I would like to donate a new style preset and some text clips. You can download them (pn_styles_and_clips.zip) from <a href="http://wfurl.com/16ca6f9" rel="nofollow">http://wfurl.com/16ca6f9</a></p> <p>Simply unzip it in the pnotepad folder, preserving folders. The clips will be placed in the folders used by the portable install of pn. You may need to move them if using the standard install.</p> <p>The style preset uses the Solarized palette created by Ethan Schoonover (more info at ethanschoonover.com/solarized) It is called CalmSea and is aimed at C/C++ programmers. I have also included a correct version of the "Solarized (Light).xml" as the one packaged with pn is wrong.</p> <p>I highly recommend using the superb monospace font "Anonymous Pro" with CalmSea. It is free and can be found at <a href="http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/anonymouspro.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/anonymouspro.html</a></p> <p>There are two text clips files. The first is a beautified and updated version of cstandard.clips that fixes 4 clips:</p> <p>The for clip now sets the start and end conditions separately.</p> <p>The if clip now positions the caret in the body after setting the condition.</p> <p>The switch clip now provides a "default:" block.</p> <p>The case clip no longer indents an extra tab.</p> <p>In addition to those fixes, the new cstandard.clips standardizes where the caret is placed after clip insertion. (It also changes the brace style, but that can be easily changed back if you'd prefer.)</p> <p>The second clips file (documented.clips) contains several (~30) documentation clips. Most are Doxygen-style, but a few are generic code sectioning lines. There are (generally) two versions of each of the clips: block comment (/** */) and single-line (///). All documentation commands used are accepted by Doxygen 1.7.5.1.</p> <p>Lastly, there is a file (doctest.h) that includes examples of many of the documentation clips. It may be run through Doxygen as-is.</p> <p>I spent a couple days fine-tuning the style preset and all the clips, so there should be no surprises. I hope everyone enjoys these and I look forward to the next release of pn. ^_^b </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5703#post-8671 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:07:05 +0000 Lucyfr 8671@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I can't find the answer anywhere!

How do I close all the windows for the project in one go (a right click on a tab and Close All closes everything including all the projects and the project group).<br /> Thats it.<br /> I program in C using lcc as a compiler/linker driven now from pnotepad - if anyone wants help setting up such a system please ask. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5482#post-8399 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 12:29:51 +0000 horus 8399@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I've found that those syntax highlighting (scheme) files are copied in every user's local profile directory.</p> <p>Isn't it better that a user-specific scheme file is created *only* when he has made change to *one* scheme? Moreover, it seems that scheme files in user's profile directory *hide out* newer scheme files in PN2' installation folder (am I correct?)</p> <p>I mean, I'm thinking like in object-oriented programming:<br /> You have a parent object (or class) in which there's a defined attribute.<br /> And then you have a child object. If the child object doesn't redefined the attribute's value, the attribute takes the value defined by the parent object.</p> <p>Isn't this more logical? </p>
