ParameterSettingsforTextEditor

[wm.chatman]

Hi
I have been playing with the Text Editor from the Forum.
It workt good, until I tried to add some Parameter Settings for the Editor, using an INI File.
Parameter Settings:
1. Clear clipboard when closing
2. Show settings at start-up
3. Open last saved file at start-up
4. Save last editor settings
5. I would like to use Font Tahoma size = 9
Since then the Behavior of the Editor are out of this World.
Don’t know what else needs to be done, could someone please take a look.
Thank you very much for your kind :sign0085: !

Best regards
William

Hi Specci48

Working on solving the problem with the text Editor, I now get another error msg. The Parameter Settings ought to be simple, but I guess its not.
I got close to solving the problem at one time, but then some functions of the Editor did not behave as they should have.
Seems like we also are not saving correct, to the INI File nore are we able to load the text file.

Thank you much for your Help !

Best regards
William

when I delete the Editor Ini File, the App runs one time only!
I am able to load a text file into TextBox1.
The Parameter Settings are incorrect. After restart of the Editor
I get the same error messages, as before.

like always, I quess we need some help.

As I said, it was a very very quick fix...
I forgot to select the option "Check for unassigned / unused variables" in the menue tools, so I didn't got this message yesterday. As the message explains, the variable "tahoma" in the sub "LoadINIFile" is never used. Because the font is stored within the variable "f_face", the line 169 could be deleted from the source without any trouble.

Since I do not know how much you've changed the source by yourself I attached my working version.

Hello William,

:sign0161: I tested it only on the desktop...

The error occurs, because the hardware object is not instantiated for the clipboard feature on the device.
Just add the following line directly after "Sub App_Start":

Sub App_Start
    hardware.New1
    ...
