Woops :oops: - just found that I didn't get the tabbed documents turned off - was under view. (what I initially changed just moved them to bottom of screen and I didn't notice). So, yay! :D The minimize/maximise buttons are back. The tiling in a grid for multiple files is there. And cascading works ...

I just turned off my document tabs to check (you do mean the settings under configuration - view - tabbed document selector?). It makes no difference - there is still no way to restore the windows to normal from the tiled view. The usual 'maximise/minimise' buttons are NOT there.

While talking ...

I thought I'd found a work-around. I configured my keyboard to have keyboard shortcut for WindowToogleZoom. I then used shortcut and got my document window back to full size (as though I'd clicked the document maximise button in 4.7.3). However, when I change to the next document my view flips back ...

Hi,

Just upgraded to 5.2, as 5.1 didn't allow me to tile my documents.

I now have tiling but no easy way to un-tile them. In version 4 each document had it's little windows looking thingy with the maximise/minimise type buttons beside the close 'X'. How do I get those back? Or some other way to ...

(don't you hate it when you post and then see a mistake in your message..)

This piece should have said:

With TOP and BOTTOM frames - only one horizontal scroll bar was not an issue as code normally fitted the window and I was able to go to seperate pieces of code for viewing/editing very easily.

I see what you mean. I was hoping it was not intended. It is definitely a functional oversight for frames that are side by side.

Hi,

I've used textpad for some years now. I've often made use of the 'Window Split' function to do a horizontal split (one frame on top of the other) to view different parts of the same file in seperate frames. Each frame had it's own scroll bar for moving within the file.

I now have two monitors ...

Hi,

Does anyone know how to allow a line length greater than 63 characters in a syntax (.syn) file?

We have a custom syntax file to list all function names for highlighting.

Today I added some recently created functions to this file that have name lengths around 70 characters (highly descriptive ...

Hi,

If your running XP (or later) there is a built in command 'reg.exe'.

To export key try command like:

reg export HKCU\SOFTWARE\Helios\TextPad4 MySaveFile.reg


To add it to registry:

reg import MySaveFile.reg


Your company may not have blocked access to the 'reg' command, and hopefully you ...

Thanks Stephen - I was thinking that was probably the case after having already read the command line reference for parameters, guess I was hoping there was an undocumented feature maybe kicking around.
Can I suggest it somewhere as an enhancement request?

Thanks for your suggestion Bob, but that ...

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to open a file from the command line in textpad and specify a macro to run automatically?

Maybe something like:

start textpad "c:\temp\myfile" ?macro_name?


If possible, what is the syntax?

Thanks for reply.

I guess I will just have to be happy with opening the .err file myself and no jumping to first error line.
I can not get away from having the batch file run as it copies files to appropriate directories, filters out unwanted lines depending on what version one is compiling for and ...

Hi,

In the past when I've wanted to do this I've just found the textpad key in the registry, exported it to a file, and then imported that on the other machine.

so, in Regedt32.exe go to key
HKCU\Software\Helios\Textpad 4
export the entire key.

on other machine in regedt32.exe highlight the above ...

One more thing that maybe has a bearing on my issue.

I run the compiler from a batch file.
The batch file has to explicitly open the error file in textpad for me.
eg. start textpad "n:\compile\%1.err"
Is this why the registers and regular expressions are maybe not effective?

Hi, I've looked at previous posts to this forum but I still can't figure out what I need when configuring a new 'tool' to do code compiling (using FourJs BDL).

I get code compiled and error file opened ok, but jumping to the first error has me stumped.

The regular expression I would normally use ...
