That's brilliant!

<n00b moment>
How did you get the right click menus with that little blue strip?

Wow nice job, that was some pretty fast progress into it. If there is a way you guys could keep the current version of the source available (hello sourceforge?) I'd love to play with it this week.

A few things I might add to it:
-syntax highlighting for perl,php and javascript
-a web crawler that can go through the snippets listed on DIC and generate an xml file that you can import into this tool
-possibly an ftp or scp function so you can save your connection details, then hit a button to upload the code you are working on

@gabehabe: It's a ContextMenuStrip Control found in your Toolbar

@mocker: So far I have syntax highlighting for:

• C#
  
• VB.NET
  
• C++
  
• Python
  
• Perl
  
• PHP
  
• Java
  
• Ruby

I didn't get anything done on this yesterday, I was just playing around in Google Chrome all night

where do you download the source for that thing?

[PsychoCoder]

@Korupt: Ill get with gabehabe about possibly creating a SourceForge account for our projects (his and mine), or maybe Ill set up a FTP account on my domain for them

[Nykc]

Nice job both of you. I would really love to see someone port this to Linux.

[gabehabe]

I've actually already got a SourceForge account, I was gonna upload this when it got a little further.

@Korupt:
Check the thread in the corner cubicle, and search "chromium"
But be warned, you need 1.6gb to store the source code, and you need 10gb to compile it.

[Korupt]

cool thanks, also looking forward to the code for the snippet manager

[gabehabe]

Got some work done on my SyntaxBox class yesterday, it's almost done.

Just need to add support for nested comments, and auto indentation.

[gabehabe]

@jacobjordan:
If you're still up for writing a syntax file, I'd really appreciate it.

The format is real simple. I didn't go for XML in the end, there was no need.

Just one word per line. Also, since comment tags vary, if you could do something like this:

Quote

//
/* */
<leave this line blank>
using
namespace
etc...
<leave this line blank>
#

Single line, block start/block end, then the words. Then leave a blank line, and add anything that should only be highlighted if it occurs at the beginning of the line. (Like preprocessor stuff in C++)

[jacobjordan]

I am very willing, and i will get to it as soon as i can. Also, something that concerns me

Quote

//
/* */

some languages, like VB, do not support C-style multiline comments. I hope you have your algorithm so it can handle this.

And, here they are.  Languages.zip (2.56K)
Number of downloads: 32
I will add more if i can make sense of the syntax files in Programmer's Notepad. Those are the only languages i know, so i knew what i was looking for there.

[PsychoCoder]

You can make me one for ColdFusion if you like. I have mine set up like this (here's the one for Java I have)

As long as I have this format it doesn't matter which language my highlighter is reading. I already have files for C++, C#, VB.NET, Boo.Net, Perl, Python, Ruby and PHP. If you can think of any other languages kindly let me know

[gabehabe]

Yeah, I've already got it set up so it doesn't always look for block comments.

Thanks jacobjordan

I'll most likely implement them tomorrow now~ I'm off out tonight, and if I get started now I most likely won't manage to shift off of my arse all day...

[PsychoCoder]

Well I'm hoping to at least have a semi-ready example to upload and let you try out today. The languages that are currently included in this release are:

• C#
  
• VB.NET
  
• Visual Basic 6
  
• C++
  
• Java
  
• Perl
  
• Python
  
• Ruby
  
• PHP
  
• SQL
  
• mySQL
  
• Boo
  
• ColdFusion
  
• FoxPro

I will add more languages as I go along, but 14 is enough to start with. If you have a request for a language please let me know
