Note: Editor object classes are not compatible with previous version of Editor Object.

To include this editor into your application - simply add a constant

 

  use_vpstudio_colored_object = 1

 

into Project.inc file.

 

Note: - you need your project to be updated with Visual Prolog Studio setup utility.

 

To add editor to your visual resource (dialog or window), simply create custom control with the class name editor_colored_class

 

 

 

Use the following code to obtain reference to the create object:

 

  TxtWin = win_GetCtlHandle(_Win, id_editor_colored_class),

  editor_colored_object(TxtWin,EDITOR_COLORED),

 

Once you have class reference EDITOR_COLORED - you can access it's properties and interfaces, such as:

 

editor_string(STRING) - (i),(o)

Get/set text in editor

editor_resize(RCT) - (i)

Resize editor object

editor_set_font(FONT)

Set editor font

editor_window(WINDOW)- (o)

Get handle to editor window.

With Window handler you can use all Visual Prolog editor predicates directly.
