Now, interestingly, I used SciTEx86.zip to produce these screenshots

Just tried both the current versions of SciTEx86/64.zip and they both produce the exact same result as I posted previously, so the property works fine.
It looks like your ICONs are somewhat smaller than what I see, but that likely is the result of the Screen setting of 2560x1600 on my laptop with 150% scale (both the recommended setting for this device)

Looking at the code used in SciTE to produce the Toolbar, I see that standard windows calls are used with standard ICONs and those come in only the 2 sizes..... hence the 0/1 option. :) 
There is an possibility to resize the tile which contains this standard ico to make the clickable space larger, without increasing the size of the ico itself.

This is just toying as I was curious how it was done and played a bit with it when setting the  toolbar.large to a  larger value than the default 32 pixels, it will use that specified size for the tile. EG: Standard toolbar.large=1

Those are interesting results that I cannot reproduce.

Correct as it is only available in my "play garden" ;) 

Still considering whether this is worth the extra MOD to maintain and if so, what the best approach would be.

I have updated the SciTEx86/x64.zip files with this test change in SciTE.

  • toolbar.large=1  will show the default large Windows icons in an 32 pixel box.
  • toolbar.large=20 will show the default large Windows icons in an 32+20-1=51 pixel box.

So the current change is to enlarge the button when toolbar.large > 0 with this formula: 32 - 1 + toolbar.large-value.

Give it a try and see if this would be helpful to keep this way. :)

Hey Jos, not sure if you want to add any headaches to your project, but I was wondering if this helps you with any ideas for the multi-selection auto complete?

This is a bit rough, adding dyn. incl.  loses the multi selection, but it's more for demonstration.

@Jos, although not perfect, it certainly gets props for visibility and usability.  Please carry some form of this into the next official release.

I have not tested 32bit yet. I will post of it only if I encounter anomalies.

EDIT: It may be of interest to you, I'd like to explain my use of HiDpi=n

I have recently adopted @argumentum solution for DPI Awareness GUI presentation integration in This Thread which is facilitated by @UEZ solution in This Post because the resulting code is so much cleaner than adding a multiplication factor to all of the coordinates and dimensions as I was doing in the past. I hope these projects see the love they deserve.

I see what you have done working around the losing Multi Sel by saving the positions, then replacing each and then adding them back into the multi selections set.
Have to have a look at that in more detail, but thanks for the idea.  It all still feels strange that AutoComplete isn't working with MultiSelect in the base functionality either.

Life's full of compromises, but I am planning to leave this in for now as it also helps me making the Click-and-Hit-rate better. :)

Ya I know, it's kinda weird.

I did spot this, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be compatible with your method of Auto completing?

Lua Scite API

Quote

int editor.AutoCMulti -- Change the effect of autocompleting when there are multiple selections.

Quote

SCI_AUTOCSETMULTI(int multi)
SCI_AUTOCGETMULTI → int
When autocompleting with multiple selections present, the autocompleted text can go into just the main selection with SC_MULTIAUTOC_ONCE (0) or into each selection with SC_MULTIAUTOC_EACH (1). The default is SC_MULTIAUTOC_ONCE.

Something wrong with auto indent.
When I hit ENTER after 1


I get:
 

_Example()
Func _Example()
    Select
    Case 1
        
        
    EndSelect
EndFunc   ;==>_Example

instead expected:

_Example()
Func _Example()
    Select
        Case 1
        
        
    EndSelect
EndFunc   ;==>_Example

When I activate this one via LUA by doing editor.AutoCMulti=1, then the standard SciTE AutoComplete does insert the selected text in all multiselects. Not sure yet how one could configure this as standard behavior when wanted.    

EDIT: Think I found the proper way of doing this so have a play with the latest LUA version in SciTE_changes_Dynamic_Includes_LUA.zip

Thanks for all of the additions and fixes Jos, I was wondering if you have decided on my feature request from a few pages ago? Sorry if you did repsond, I didn't see it if you did.

On 9/26/2023 at 10:21 AM, donnyh13 said:

Is it possible to allow ctrl+Backspace to be used (to delete a word at a time) while the AutoComplete drop down is active? Both in single selection and multiple selection?

Sorry .... indeed missed that....   need to think/play a bit for that one, but assume it should be possible when that indeed is standard behavior. (Another one I haven't used before :) )

EDIT: Uploaded fix for that in the latest SciTE_changes_Dynamic_Includes_LUA.zip
