|
Is there a notepad or simular replacement that will view or display dsc text like VDS format with its colored fonts?
For example, the notepad replacement would show the .dsc like it looks kinda like this forum shows the font colors below:
| Code: | LIST CREATE,1
list loadfile,1,c:\path\text.txt
dialog set,edit1,@text(1)
LIST CLOSE,1 |
I know you can emulate this by loading the text in the VDS I.D.E. along side of your project, but I would rather have it in another window, like in a notepad window so I can minimize it etc..
Maybe I am crazy  |

Thanks Serge
Is there a trick out there to put disabled text on the dialog without using artist BMPs, you know like the text seen on the disabled buttons, kinda forged or trenced into the button or dialog like caveman fonts. 
I tried dialog disable,TEXT1 but it don't look as good as the disabled button version if you know what I mean, it just looks like it switched from black to gray ink. 
Thanks even if its a dumb question  |

you could try editplus
http://www.editplus.com/
You could create a STX config file for it, with auto-complete, coloured syntax etc.

You can make your own highlighter - look for instructions in the help file.
This is what I use (Visual Dialogscript.INI - put it in the SYNTAX subfolder):

Another fine editor with support for many languages is Boxer Editor.
You can easily add support for your own preferred languages.
I use it for years and like Boxer very much.

I'm still working on making my Full Version Windows XP pro SP2 like classic should be, so I'll stay away from anything that says auto complete, just outta bull-headyness - grrrrr
I'm downloading the psPAD right now(it sounds adjustible enough), will get the dictionary next.. I believe Dreads INI adjustment will work fine.
I've tried boxer awhile back for a basic text editor replacement but can't remember anything about it.
You guys are too nice, but not nice enough to be gay thank god 
Thanks |

Works great and simple to setup 
Some added VDS settings help below:
Create a ...\PSPad editor\Syntax\Visual DialogScript.ini (like Dreads previous above)
Select Settings menu > Highlighter settings.
(1) Select Specification tab.
(2) On the left (highlighter) list, click on one of the bolded highlighters (<not-assigned> thingys).
(3) On the right side is list of user highlighters, select (scroll down to VDS ini title) the one you created and click on it.
Then load your .dsc file
Thanks again Dread |

Glad ya like PSPad. It's very advanced - one can do just about anything with it.
Remember to set the VDS colors you want on the Colors tab of the Highlighters settings...

Are the colour settings saved anywhere? If so, perhaps someone could share the 'file'.
Cheers...
