My working plugin! Colourer! by Mike on 01-07-2004 at 06:54 PM
Finally!I made my first plugin!
It shows a form and then it lets you choose colours instead of pressing Ctrl+K to change colour.Then you click the send button and voila
Tell me if you find any bugs or have any suggetions...

To do what?
RE: My working plugin! Colourer! by Jutx on 01-07-2004 at 08:42 PM
If your using VB this will solve your beginning of line problem (change text1 to name of your control)
Text1.Setfocus
Sendkeys "{End}"
RE: My working plugin! Colourer! by LeCastor2001 on 01-07-2004 at 09:58 PM
I was told the 'sendkeys' function is dangerous...
RE: My working plugin! Colourer! by Jutx on 01-07-2004 at 10:09 PM
It is not recommended, meaning avoid it where possible, but it isn't dangerous if it is doing something simple like positioning a cursor. (also the VB example forms (like the login dialog and about dialog) use this to position the cursor at the end of a text box so we can assume it is OK)
RE: My working plugin! Colourer! by Mike on 01-07-2004 at 10:13 PM
Version 1.1 is out!
Fixed the textbox bug(thanks to Jutx)
Added /xcolourerabout for about.
Also I dont think that sendkeys is dangerous...

.SelText
.SelStart
.SelLength
=>
Text1.SelStart = Len(Text1.value)
Text1.SelLength = 0
RE: My working plugin! Colourer! by Jutx on 01-08-2004 at 12:15 AM
if it gets the job done... who cares!
Seriously though, Cookies way is the more reliable of the two but because its only positioning the cursor Sendkeys rarely fails.
edit: I wouldn't use sendkeys for anything else tho. (Damn i edit too much)
