Hi,
Why did you delete editorControl (replaced by SciLexer) ?? How do I replace:editor_ctl:pasteStr(X) and idem for editor_ctl:getSelection (X,Y) in Project LSF by E Costa for Tyros, please
Thank you for your kindness
Regards

We have removed the editorControl because we thought it was too difficult/expensive to maintain and extend with the features we wanted.

My knowledge/memory about the editorControl is far from complete. But it sounds like this is the replacement for pasteStr

Code: Select all

predicates
    addText : (string Text).
    % @short
    % Inserts the #Text before the insertion point.
    % The current position is set at the end of the inserted text, but it is not scrolled into view.
    % @end

The selection goes from the currentPos to the anchor, but the properties selectionStart and selectionEnd are more likely closer to the predicate you mention:

Code: Select all

properties
    currentPos : integer.
    % @short
    % Gets the current position or sets the current position and creates a selection between the anchor and the current position.
    % The caret is not scrolled into view.
    % @end
 
properties
    anchor : integer.
    % @short
    % Gets the current anchor position or sets the anchor position and creates a selection between the anchor position and the current position.
    % The caret is not scrolled into view.
    % @end
 
properties
    selectionStart : integer.
    selectionEnd : integer.
    % @short
    % The start/end of the selection.
    % selectionStart is the smaller of the anchor point and the current position.
    % selectionEnd is the larger.

Hi,
I have linking my simple project Lsf eduardo Costa with SciLexer but, apparently,I can not use Scilexer symply as remplacement for editorcontrol. I have no new examples with a simple editor to past or add text in it.
In execute an internal error has occured:
Single fact has no value

error code = 329
ExtraInfo = Single fact 'native' from internal database 'sciLexer::sciLexer@objectDB' has no value
singleFactHasNoValue (runtime_exception) in runtime_exception::runtimeExceptionRaiser

That error typically arise when a control is used before it is shown. You can delay operations from the construction to the show-time using a show-listener:

Code: Select all

clauses
    new(...) :-
        ...
        addShowListener(
            {  :-
                % action to perform when the dialog has been shown
            }).
