This is even more bizarre that I had first thought. Having set the default codeset in the Tool Output window to use UTF-8, this doesn't - as I mentioned in my previous post - have any effect on what shows as the actual codeset as it appears under `Right click | Document tab' on the Tool Output `Docu...

I'm struggling to work out what the effect is supposed to be of setting the default encoding for the Tool Output window (Configure | Preferences | Document Classes | Tool Output, TP v. 5.3.1). I have this set to UTF-8. However, whenever I right click in the Tool Output window itself it always says &...

If you are using TextPad to code in c++ and find that you are regularly using books or internet resources to look up references to things like standard class library functions and classes, the following will show you how it is possible to link to one particular resource directly from your code with ...

Clip libraries in TextPad are a very convenient way of storing and retrieving 'snippets' that we either use regularly in our projects, or less regularly when we might otherwise need to be reminded, say, of how a particular code structure is formed - a c++ 'do ... while' statement, for instance. When...

I'm running TextPad 5.2.0 on Vista and I'm experiencing erratic behaviour in trying to get the Search Results window to 'stay' docked between sessions. I have selected it to be docked using Configure | Preferences | View | Dockable log windows: | Search Results but I'm getting all manner of crazy th...

Is there a way in Textpad to set up a hotkey or macro to open the Log File to an existing open SAS program. For example, if I have a program called MyProgram.sas open in Textpad, is there a way to program Textpad to automatically have it open the corresponding MyProgram.Log file in the same directo...

Command: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\csc.exe Parameters: $File Initial Folder: $FileDir . Correction! Actually, this won't quite work, since in order for Csc to know the distinction between a code file (*.cs) and a response file (*.rsp), the filename needs to be sent to the compiler pre...

No, but I edited it and changed "Stop Recording" to "Record" and it works right now. To just add to this thread, I have encountered the same issue, and the behaviour IS related to closing TextPad whilst recording, as suggested by Helios above. Consequently, even with the .config...

If you are going to learn C++ i would strongly suggest that you learn the VS IDE as well. ... Textpad is a nice text editor, but not any good to work with C++ code. As already said you have to setup the environment variables and then you can see from within VS how the command line should be, but it...

And of course now there is a new issue: compiling works fine, but when I try to run, it opens the command prompt and says: ' .exe' is not a recognized internal or external command, operable program or batch file Press any key to continue... Then when I try to run it again right after that it works....

Questions: -I have set up a compiler for C#. Fair enough. How do I go about setting up to compile multiple files into an executable. I am obviously missing something. I suspect it is something simple a newbie would overlook. Hi I don't know if this is still relevant or whether you are still looking...

Hey! I want to add a folder of includes to textpad. How to I do this so I can use the includes? Hi there You haven't said what version of TextPad you are using, but assuming the most recent (or at least TextPad 5.*), what you need is to set up an appropriate include environment variable for your co...

Hello Shamindra I can understand your wanting to steer away from the heavyweight tools like Visual C++ Express. I too am currently building C# .NET programs using TextPad and hooking into the environment behind Visual C# Express. However, owing to the different nature of the language and the set-up,...

Hi Ken Do any of the user preferences get transferred? Say, the tool bar setup, menu's, tools, that kind of thing? One thing to be aware of is that the config file is loaded by TextPad on startup and then written back when you close it down. If there is any problem at all - say the settings in confi...

Can I ask, are many people here using TextPad to write programs in C#? I'm currently exploring the language (coming from a background in C/C++, Java, etc.) and am experimenting with setting up tools to work with MSBuild rather than Csc, which effectively means working with Visual Studio .csproj file...
