Add-on question; tagging/autocomplete request
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2001 4:02 pm
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?
