Resources in SciTE.exe

[Yashied]

Help please. In SciTE.exe for AutoIt is a resource with the name "EMBEDDED" in the section "PROPERTIES" which contains a list including UDF keywords. How do I get this resource without using third-party resource editors (only means of AutoIt). Resources.au3 does not work for this type of resource.

Thanks.

Please any thoughts.

Please any thoughts.

If you want to know how to extract the resource then I don't know, but if you simply want the file with a list of au3 functions, udf functions and key words then it is in the SciTe folder

Properties\au3.keywords.properties

Thanks martin. I want to add their functions in the syntax SciTE editor, but editing the file au3.keywords.properties does not work. It works only when editing the resources of SciTE.exe. To do this, I want to write a tool, but ...

I seem to understand from your quote that you want to add drop down syntax help for additional UDFs - this is certainly possible with an AutoIt script. You need to alter the au3.user.calltips.api which is accessed through the "Tools" menu - and add the keywords to the properties\au3.keywords.properties file which you can open via the "Options" menu. There are a number of scripts out there to do this - I have even written one myself which I would be glad to post if that is indeed what you are trying to do.

If I have completely misunderstood your intentions (which is not unlikely!) could you give a bit more detail of exactly what it is that you are trying to do. :-)

I want to SciTE editor painted the color of my functions, Calltips in this case I was not interested. To do this, I want to write a utility that will automate the process of adding these functions to editor properties (resource named "EMBEDDED", as adding the my functions in the file au3.keywords.properties which is located in the same folder as the SciTE.exe, does not give any results) . Whew.

You should use the Full SciTE4AutoIt3 installation and update file properties\au3.keywords.properties.

Yashied,

OK, you do not want the CallTips, but you do want SciTE to colour your personal UDFs just as it colours the built-in functions and standard UDFs.

Well, au3.keywords.properties is what you want. You need to add the function names - in lowercase - at the end of the au3.keywords.udfs section. It is actually easier to look for the start of the au3.keywords.keywords section which follows. :-)

Here is what I have in my au3.keywords.properties - pluginopen is where the original keywords endeded:

pluginopen _arraydisplayex _extmsgboxset _extmsgbox _guictrlmarquee_setscroll _guictrlmarquee_setdisplay \
    _guictrlmarquee_create _recfilelisttoarray _stringsize _toast_set _toast_show _toast_hide 
au3.keywords.keywords=and byref case const continuecase continueloop default dim \

SciTe then colours in these functions just like the others. as you can see from the attached picture.

However, if you want to do it via the resources - good luck!

Thanks. I know that. I just used SciTE lite, but it do not. Once again, thank you.

Thanks to you.

I have actually already build in some standard support for user UDF to be collored similar as the standard UDFs.

Just create a file called: au3.userudfs.properties in the properties directory and add this content:

au3.keywords.user.udfs= _test1 \
_test2 _test3

Still need to document this ...

Jos,

As usual you are ahead of the game. That would make adding new UDFs really painless!

Exelent. Many thanks to you, Jos.

I have added an extra page to the SciTE4AutoIt3 helpfile for the next release and spent a couple of word explaining it.
