So I made a colored IDE using RichEdit box, however, I am having trouble using auto indents.
For example, if somebody indents five, it auto takes you to where the text above it was at.
i.e.
;I type something here
;then when i press tab once it takes me here, instead of pressing tab twice. How do they do this? Can anybody give me an example (not in code) but in writing ;about which functions would be used?
;Also, when somebody types
.WHILE TRUE
;how do I make it indent here in the next line? Do SendKeys like that? Or use a special API function for the rich text box? If so, which function would this be?
.ENDW
Hi,
Here is a list of the messages I used to get autoindents with RichMasm. Basically, you have to study the line before, and add a tab if needed.
Hope this helps,
