The "Execute" button is causing - dare I say - Notepad to open.

Find defaults to any highlighted text. New, or did I just not notice it before?

It opens the associated program. In your case notepad.

Ok.
Then - & this is just food for thought - being able to assign the function (application) associated with the "Execute" button.
That way, forinstance, if I associate win32pad with the Execute button, it will open with win32pad - regardless of what my systems (registry) association is assigned to.
Again, just food for thought & probably not worth doing.

Win98:
Everything is looking good. Tabs, COL/LN.
Strange. Help-About is not clickable. Perhaps has to do with the particular version of riched20.dll (5.30.22.2300). It did work under Win2K.

A couple of new things popped up with this version, btw, thanks for giving me credit on your posting.
- the change from "%1" to "%l" actually HAS to be capital L not lowercase, this is now broken on my XP build
- the command for "Edit With Win32Pad" HAS to include the full path unless you're modifiying the users ENV path variable, etc. and that also has to have a capital L for the file parameter.
Another key note, with adding "Edit With Win32Pad" to the "*" key, you might want to post that anyone that using the Microsoft Shortcut/Launch Toolbar (believe it or not some users still use it), will have a problem with launching their apps and should disable this feature or discontinue using the Toolbar. My app "MR Tech Systray" has a similar feature and I do remember running into this even before I had added this to my program.
Thanks again for a great program and I look forward to getting more and more updates.

Help->About has nothing to do with richedit control. I will investigate.
EDIT: Ok, I found the problem. It was "Support" groupbox that will be removed in the next release.

Hi!
When I click on F5 in win32pad I get american time and date stamp.
Eg 9:40 AM 9/9/2003
But when I click on F5 in notepad I get swedish format.
Eg 09:40 2003-09-09
I would like it to be the same as system date format or to be able to choose the format that win32pad uses in the option window.
Thanks for a great program!

hi, thanks for the excellent Win32Edit! small, to the point, effective. I'm especially grateful that you use the rich edit controls, as this allows me to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to select arbitrary text, which is not possible in many applications.
I frequently have to exchange text documents with users on a variety of systems. Would it be possible to have a preference that, when enabled, would insert the appropriate "next line" character at the end of each line when the file is saved? That is, if I compose a document in Win32Pad with wordwrap on it looks fine, but if I then opened it in Notepad (or any editor that does not do paragraph flowing), paragraphs will appear all on one line. This "save as flowed" feature would just need to implicitly add new line characters at the wrap points in the paragraph.
It would also be nice to be able to set the default width of the editor buffer in terms of number of columns. The current default size (on my system at least) is 94 columns; I'd prefer having the default width at 80 columns.
Thanks again for the great editor! Let me know if this is confusing and I'll try to clarify.

Copy does not append the EOL character.
A copy, then the subsequest paste, looses (or doesn't add) the EOL "character". I may not be saying or describing it properly, but ...
top of file ---
LINE-BEGINNING
LINE-END
end of file ---
Above example is Line-B, 3 blank lines, Line-E.
If you copy beginning with LINE-BEGINNING and ending with the line above LINE-END - a total of 4 lines, and then paste that selection, only 3 lines end up being pasted. Line-B and 2 blank lines. The third blank line is missing.
If you copy beginning with LINE-BEGINNING and ending with "LINE-E" (not including the "ND"), and then paste that selection, everything is pasted up through & including the second E from LINE-END, but a newline is not generated - ie: if I had pasted this at the top of the "file" - at the beginning of LINE-BEGINNING, it would look like this:
top of file ---
LINE-BEGINNING
LINE-ELINE-BEGINNING
LINE-END
end of file ---
Hope you understand.
Occurs under Win98, Win2K seems ok.

Is this a new behavior in 1.4.1 or this is something that was there in previous versions?

Not sure offhand if 1.4.0 did it.
I know for certain that 1.3.3 worked correctly.

I'm not a 100% sure if this is a regression, but I know what the default behavior should be here's the schenario:
- open file with multiple lines, like so:
- No put your cursor at the beginning of the line 2,
- hold the shift key and press End, this will highlight the whole line, INCLUDING the carriage return/linefeed
- now choose either copy go down one line and past or just do cut and past twice
- you'll see that the carriage return/linefeed is not honored and the line is pasted butted up against the previous line.
Not sure if this is related to any of the other posted here, but thanks and let me know what you come up with.

try to type anything - old text is not changing, but the new text appears with other font
close the file, press Yes to save
open file - all text, old and new is in fixedsys font
problem appears:everytime i try to type:)
well..thats all.. 1.3.2 version is not bad..so i can use it, i just wanted report a bug or something:)
