Hi,

I've search for a while and i still haven't found any informations about it.

How can I colorize a list of key words in real time in a RichEdit Control
inside a PlusWnd ?

need help Thanks

You need to use the following function: http://mpscripts.net/docs/ref-pluswnd-richedit_setcharformat.php

yeah i know but i really don't know how to:
- do it in real time
- color just a word that i defined.

I know that this function can color a Selection, but how to select a defined word ? imagine i 've a long text ! with a loop it will tke a lot of time !



So is RegExp object can be used, or any other method ?

Take a look at this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb761661%28VS.85%29.aspx

That lets you select the text then you can change the color using the Plus! function.

could you give me an exemple please ? i'm not at ease with the MSDN help

js code:

---

var EM_SETSEL = 0xb1;

function OnWindowIdEvent_EditTextChanged( pPlusWnd, sControlId ) {
    if ( sControlId === 'MyRichEditControl' ) {
        var hObjWnd = pPlusWnd.GetControlHandle ( sControlId );
        Interop.Call( 'user32', 'SendMessageW', hObjWnd, EM_SETSEL, 0, 10 );
    }
}

---

xml code:

---

<Attributes><TextMode>Rich Text</TextMode></Attributes>

---

i am trying to highliht key word such as "def, if, else ..." to do a window whis syntax colorizing.

I try this and give you feedback.

EDIT: here's my XML:

code:

---

<Control xsi:type="RichEditControl" Id="txtMessage">
     <Position Top="15" Width="350" Height="350" Left="5"/>
          <Caption>Script</Caption>
          <Attributes>
               <TextMode>Rich Text</TextMode>
               <WantReturn>true</WantReturn>
           </Attributes>
</Control>

---

code:

---

function OnWndScriptEnvEvent_EditTextChanged( pPlusWnd, sControlId ) {
    if ( sControlId === 'txtMessage' ) {
        var hObjWnd = pPlusWnd.GetControlHandle ( sControlId );
        Interop.Call( 'user32', 'SendMessageW', hObjWnd, EM_SETSEL, 0, 10 );
    }
}

The reason it is constantly overwriting what you type is because it is selecting the first 10 characters when a change is made. I was simply showing you an example of how to select text. From that point you can use the Plus! function I first told you about to set the colour.

oh yeah i finnaly understand ^^

but, how can search in the text my keyword ?
for exemple def:

code:

---

function OnWndScriptEnvEvent_EditTextChanged( pPlusWnd, sControlId ) {
    if ( sControlId === 'txtMessage' ) {
            sMessage = EnvWindow.GetControlText("txtMessage")       
             var hObjWnd = pPlusWnd.GetControlHandle (sControlId);
            for (i = 0; i < sMessage.length+1; i++){
            if(sMessage.charAt=="d"){
                for (j = i+1; j < sMessage.length+1; j++){
                    if(sMessage.charAt(j)=="e"){
                        for (h = j+1; h < sMessage.length+1;h++){
                            if(sMessage.charAt=="f"){
                                Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', hObjWnd, EM_SETSEL, i, h);
                                MyWindow.RichEdit_SetCharFormat("txtMessage",true,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,0x00ff0000,"");

                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

---

code:

---

function OnWndScriptEnvEvent_EditTextChanged( pPlusWnd, sControlId ) {
    if ( sControlId === 'txtMessage' ) {
            sMessage = EnvWindow.GetControlText("txtMessage")       
        var hObjWnd = pPlusWnd.GetControlHandle (sControlId);
        i = sMessage.indexOf("def",0)
        if(sMessage.charAt(i+1)=="e" && sMessage.charAt(i+2)=="f"){
            Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', hObjWnd, EM_SETSEL, i,i+3);
            EnvWindow.RichEdit_SetCharFormat("txtMessage",true,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,0x00ff0000,"");
            }
    }
}

---

code:

---

Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', hObjWnd, EM_SETSEL, -1,-1);

Honestly this is really a horrible way of doing it. There is a "CodeEditControl" but it only supports JScript text highlighting.

ok thanks for the great help

I'm doing it for ruby
here's my V1: http://www.msgplus.net/scripts/view/557-RubyColor/

this question was for the V2 with a complete RUBY IDE ^^
