ShineInHex - hex view/edit control

[Jupiter]

hi, ramguru.
at first, relax, you did great work and you can't implement all features at once

a little bug: when you use keyboard to move cursor, current offset isn't updated (only when using mouse)

[ramguru]

Thanks, Jupiter
UPDATE
What's new:

• Added unlimited Undo/Redo (it's my algo so don't expect it to work identically as others)
• Fixed mentioned above and some more bugs

And yes Ctrl+Z - undo, Ctrl+Y - redo

[Jupiter]

great work, ramguru ;)
prety fast update ;)

I attached... just a color scheme ;)
put in Test_ShineInHex.exe folder

[ramguru]

Really nice, maybe next release will contain a folder with suggested set of color schemes. Hmm, if I will release it to some kind of download site, it will require an installer (to build me a solid website), I guess, but usual installer adds 100Kb additional raw data, sad.

[PBrennick]

That would be great. This is an excellent piece of work so I thought I would help by giving you a nudge. When I speak up like that, it means I feel it is well worth improving.  :U

in case of NSIS installer, overhead is 30 KB only

anyway you can always create own tiny installer ;)

Thanks, I see my mistake  :bg , ebx is supposed to be used with HM structure, I've posted an update.

...fixed selection by keyboard, when last char could not be selected.

Hi Ramguru

I've just downloaded your latest release to have my first look. I've managed to figure most things in its use (it wont open a file marked read-only, or an .exe - threw me for a while, but easily gotten around). However, I can't figure what is the use of the Copy command - once I copy a block I can't seem to do anything with it - is this for outside use or something (perhaps I need to look through the source). Is there a facility for pasting a block?
The other thing happening I noticed is that it is not saving the screen width (i.e. number of columns) in the ini file.
I'm commenting on these things because it is looking very nice, especially being set up as a control - I've done this sort of thing for my own use as a control, but not as nice as this - thinking of changing to it.

Thanks
Howard

[ramguru]

Thanks for your thorough response, Howard

(it wont open a file marked read-only,

In latest release I added HEXM_SETREADONLY , but didn't make a use of it. I think in following release test_application will be able to open read-only files and HEXM_SETREADONLY will make sure editing mode is turned off.

However, I can't figure what is the use of the Copy command - once I copy a block I can't seem to do anything with it - is this for outside use or something

Of course it's for outside use, invoke your imagination :lol . Let's say you copied bare hex block, then you can check in other program if that block corresponds to opcode or something, examine it, you can paste it in find dialog (and search for reversed data) whatever.

Is there a facility for pasting a block?

No, there isn't yet. It would be difficult, pasting sometimes means inserting, but this can't be implemented  :naughty: For pasting-overwriting case there is a good chance in the future.

The other thing happening I noticed is that it is not saving the screen width (i.e. number of columns) in the ini file.

That can & will be implemented in the following release. But generally it's parent's responsibility to save that data, not control's.


I was using a lot this control myself lately while examining mnu,dlg formats and i have something more in mind, ways to improve it: like tabs; command line support; double view; structure viewer/editor...Will be working on some of these features after I'm finished with rc2dlg converter.
