New Scite4AutoIt3 installer

[Jos]

This customised versions of Scite has the following functionality:*Customised Syntax highlighting.

*AutoComplete AutoIt3 commands automatically (suggest the option in a dropdownbox while typing), just hit ENTER or TAB to Autocomplete.)

*AutoComplete anything already in the script, like variable and Func names, with Ctrl+Enter.

*Intellisense (Show a ToolTip with the parameter expected in the selected function).

*Code folding for easy code viewing.

Don't you think those Helpfiles are great???

[steve8tch]

Ahh - help files....

:"> The're even better when someone points out what line to read !! :">

Sorry chaps - I've been using this Scite stuff for ages and didn't know you could do this - all that endlss scrolling to the top to the script to check on declared vars --what an idiot!!!

Thanks

That makes ScIte even better !! well done.

Updated the installer so that all utilities now properly handle the new Registry location for AutoIt3 v 3.0.103. It also include Larry's new AU3recorder !!.

@JdeB

Seems to be a problem with the SciLexer.dll in your latest release. Underscores in variables ? seem to affect everything below to turn dark blue. Have found some lines will not work with Ctrl+Q?

$usera = GUIRead($inp_

As typing the line above (incomplete, as script font changes before I can finish), this affects all font below.

I have replaced the SciLexer.dll, with one from previous install. Cannot seem to duplicate the dark blue effect on the font now.

Can you check this please.

[this-is-me]

It seems to be from the _ newline concatenation chartacter.

Check the original thread here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6160

[MHz]

Yes, know of this thread, this-is-me

But even finishing the line above displayed and closing it with a bracket. The dark blue font still affects in all lines below. I'm plan to keep using the old SciLexer.dll til this is sorted. Nothing worse then seeing, most of my script turn blue. Yet alone, if any permanent damage may happen from this bug.

Thanks for the thread tip.

Mhz, i cannot get it to go wrong with your example line...

Can you PM we a script-let that has this issue or explain what i need to do to get it wrong ?

Is your DarkBlue the color for a String or something else ?

The Block comment (Ctrl+Q) issue you mention, is that related to this continuation thing ?

ps. the lexer does only Syntax highlighting and folding so will never change any textual thing in your source ... worse thing would be wrong color or folds.

Mhz, thanks for the info you sent. With that i could replicate the lexer issue.

The SciLexer.dll on the SciTE4AutoIt3 Download page should fix the issue of wrong Color Highlighting in the situation you mentioned.

The Ctrl+Q seems to have a limit of 1000 characters on a line.

This is a SciTE internal setting, but i don't really see this as an issue ....

[MHz]

Thanks for the speedy fix, JdeB. Cannot seem to replicate the problem now.

You truly do great wonders, for us all.

JdeB - when I've installed the past 3 or 4 updates to SciTe, it's wiped out the au3dir setting in au3.properties, so I have to re-set this before I can run any tools from it. Do you know if there is a problem here... I'm sure something like this was mentioned in the past.

Chris,

The previous time was an issue with the SciTE4AU3Upd.exe installer that made the path disappear.

I have found another issue with UpdateDefs.au3 which is now solved and included in the latest version of SciTE4AU3Upd.exe .

Thanks for your input,

Enjoy,

[Chris_1013]

Yep, re-downloaded, re-installed, nothing broken. Thanks for that.

[steve8tch]

JdeB - a quick question...

I loaded up AutoEd - just to see what was happening and lend support to people developing autoit stuff... anyway... a new feature - the code explorer appeared - this looks like a really useful addition -

can this be done in SciTe

Thanks..

Agree that its a useful option, but the SciTE.exe that is part of the installer is the standard version of SciTE and doesn't have this option. I have no intention at this moment to modify and maintain a seperate version of SciTE.

Maybe it can be suggested at their forum ?

Great job.
