How would NOT putting it in directly be more simple than putting it in directly?

It wouldn't..

The only reason I said that was because when you said about Plus! affecting text boxes, I got the impression that Plus! couldn't do it, so I said indirectly.
After re-reading I see what you mean

Anyway, I still think it's a good idea.

It is a good idea.....that's why it happens already

It doesn't..

Not like a WYSIWYG editor.

It's as close as it can get to being one..like I said, I'm pretty sure that Plus! can't manipulate that text box to get it to show the colours, bold, italic, etc.  But to be honest, you know what italics & bold look like, there's no change in font, so it's just the colours, which are there for you to see

It doesn't have to be that box.

You click on the 'Format Colours' button and it opens a Plus! window that allows you to do the editing. Once you're done on there you click accept and it then puts it into the WLM text box or displays the code for you to copy.

There is a script for this, but it would be better if it was Plus! and integrated they way I explained above.

As such you haven't replied with anything I or others didn't know yet. Again, the point I was trying to make is that you can not have "a small list with contact" when you have like 200 contacts starting with the letter "a". 200 contacts is not a small list yet and if you suggested to show that in a "small" window, it is contradicting. I'm not saying the idea is bad, I was commenting that you also need to consider when or how the "small" window is shown. It doesn't matter if the number of items gets smaller when you type more of the emailadress, the initial number of items is too big to be shown entirly in a window. A window with a list of 200 contacts would be almost as big as your entire screen if you want to show them all...

I believe you do not understand me....
Ill explain this part by part:

As you can see me as alot of properties (or objects, whatever). You see that the scroll bar is thin meaning that there are ALOT of objects. If this can be done in VS, why cant it be done here? Why would it be "almost as big as your entire screen"? As you can see only 10 properties (or objects, whatever) are shown from (lets say) 200. Plus! would reduce that list to 100 when you put more letters and still show 10. It doesnt have to be the whole email/nickname/etc even. Just part of it.


Please tell me if VS can do it, why cant Plus! ?

*sigh*

riahc, I understood you perfectly the first time....

What you just showed and explained again is called intellisense. See my very first post in this thread (and all later posts trying to explain that to you).

Sure about that? Because the first time I ment EXACTLY the same thing as this last post with a screenshot and everything.

See my first post on this subject.

Then tell me WHY you posted the bolded text when you knew that what I ment was not going to take up a entire screen.....

yes I'm sure of that. Read my posts properly and in context instead of picking one sentence out of it.
