Notepad Plus + v2.5 [Coded by Ace]

[AceInfinity]

This is really helpful so thanks. I have always wondered how you would program the replace function into something like this. Perfect and does have countless applications. I will be downloading this when I have 5 minutes when I get home.

Really a HQ post and great to share the src.

Thanks, I was wary at first about sharing my source, but I thought it would help the community if they are interested in coding something similar to this. The code is a bit messy, haven't had time to clean it up and make functions to lessen it down, so if anyone has any questions, like i've said, i've done all this code about 10 times over through debugging, troubleshooting, and not saving my work before closing my project. So i'd be able to help you out. Spent tons of time figuring out how to make some of the things work on this application so hopefully people will enjoy this contribution. I'll still be continuing my development on this thing, so be sure to check out for newer versions.

All future versions from now on that I release will be releases with major changes or improved functions, nothing minor, so you can expect each release that I come out with to be a lot better than the previous. I'll also be accepting bug fix requests if anyone finds any.

It would be a bit hard to rip my source as well since there's a lot more than just the code to it. But if your interested in replicating this, i'll help someone out for sure.

Thanks for the feedback, very motivational to keep up with this project I started.

Note: All future downloads will NOT be in the first post though, as i'll restate because I maxed out my character/word count on that first post already lol. Can't add anything else to it which is a bit of a letdown, so for any newer versions, check my latests posts within this thread.

Very nice, Thank you. I was looking for a Advanced VB notepad.

To build or download and use? I'll be out with a new release in a little while, has a few more functions, but I want to add more to it to make every download worth other peoples time. If I change a label, and add a download for it, what's the point? If I change the configuration for it and add a whole bunch of new functions, then it's worth somebody's time to download as a newer version.

Glad you enjoyed this Nice to see that effort doesn't go unrewarded and without recognition.

Nice. I see you are adding new features pretty steadily. What version are you on now v6? lol.

Nice. I see you are adding new features pretty steadily. What version are you on now v6? lol.

Nope, next one i'll be naming version 3.1 lol. I had it set to 3.2 but I really forgot that the last version was 3.0. Just looks silly if I go too high for now. But the development on this will be a success if I have a team of people downloading it. They can act as my debuggers to find any flaws in it or things that it should have.

hat associating .txt with your notepad is possible

[AceInfinity]

yep, you can open pretty much any file within the editor. You just wouldn't have any use to move a .exe into the control. All text-based formats are supported though.

Here's my newest version, still debating on whether or not to release it though.

New Features in this version:
• msgbox to show how many occurances were replaced
• filemenu icons/images
• context menu settings to view icons sidebar
• quickfind function
• quick statistics for document
• sort into list
• search up/down


working to add an option to the sorting menulist to sort lines alphabetically and reverse or normalize that sorted array list of lines. Just remember that the source code I posted in post 1 of this thread doesn't include any updated versions here lol. That's just a starting point for people to learn. I probably have twice that amount of code now that I have this version.

It's looking very nice mate. You have a really nice amount of features. Just remember not to go too over the top with adding things, otherwise you can overcomplicate it making it hard to navigate.
