Add-on question; tagging/autocomplete request

[Glenn Carr]

I've created a add-on which brings in the source file containing the definition for an indentifier (variable,class,field,etc.) by using ctags. It works, but I would like to do the following...

- Is there anyway to reuse the current instance of TextPad if the user has turned on 'Allow multiple instances to run'? I see there there's a command line switch to force a new instance, but none to force reusing an existing instance. Does this require that I send DDE messages to an existing instance?

- Is there anyway to select text when opening a new document? I can set the current line and column, but I would like to be able to select the current word as well?

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S., Any chance of adding tagging/autocomplete support to TextPad someday?
