Title: Development suggestions
Post by: Biterider on July 23, 2005, 09:28:01 PM
Hi KetilO
I have 2 suggestions for a future release:
1. Now you are checking for a running application before you launch ml.exe. If the project requires to recompile the *.rc file it does, regardless if it possible to recompile the whole project or not. If would be better to stop the rc compiler too!
2. I'm sure you know the situation when you are dealing with huge projects that you will check something in the code when the compiler is running. Since you launch the compilation in a separate process, it should be possible to set RadASM in a read-only state while the compiler is doing his job. If you see something wrong with the code, you can cancel the compilation as you can do just now.

Regards,

Biterider

Hi KetilO

Two minor suggestions by myself

1. It would be useful to use toolbar button to comment/uncomment a selected code block
2. To move a selected code block left(or right) by means of TAB (or TAB+SHIFT)

Best regards

You can do all the above today.
Just use make and a better editor !

RadASM is one of the BEST editors you can find. It is in evolution and it has some bugs but it is a titanic work that KetilO is doing and sharing with all of us, so a little bit of respect for his work would be appreciated...

Hi, Biterider.
You are absolutely right.
I'm new in this forum but in my opinion RadAsm (at all) is the best Assembler IDE I've ever seen.
Thanks to KetilO  :thumbu

Hi Biterider

1. Should be easy enough.
2. While build is running, RadASM enters a filtered message loop.
It would be easy to allow for mouse messages, but would it be safe?

Hi CObject

1. Will be done.
2. Already implemented. Let me know if it works on your machine.

Hi KetilO

2. Doesn't work on my machine ( I'm using WinXP SP2 and testing RadAsm 2.2.0.3). When I press TAB (or TAB+SHIFT), the selected block just disapears.

Hi CObject

Strange, I'm using XP sp 2 and it works just fine.
Does F9 and Shift+F9 work?

Hi KetilO

Yes, this works fine, but with CTRL,not SHIFT.
F9 - tabs right, F9+CTRL - tabs left

Could we see the same "block minimize" functionality that already exists for .IF - .ENDIF blocks also applied to .ELSEIF - .ELSEIF blocks? :)
