I've seen some discussion about editing tools and noticed that UltraEdit was mentioned several times. I have built a word file, auto-complete file, and an add-on pgm for UltraEdit. The pgm allows you to execute focexecs from within UltraEdit. It prompts you for the amper variables needed to run the fex and then runs it for you. The word file does syntax highlighting for you. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll let you have it. No warrantees expressed or implied! This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,
I'd like to take a look at it.. I've been developping mainly in UltraEdit and the odd adhoc request in WebFocus... I just don't like how everything is limited to the app folder in DevStudio.
B, the ultraedit folks have a site where you can download a focus add-on that does syntax highlighting. its a bit outdated but still quite nice. Perhaps you could offer your addin to them and thru them.

I sent it to them and explained what it was for and never got a reply and never saw it posted anywhere. I did submit the WebFOCUS wordfile that's out there now but I've made changes to mine since then.
thanks alot for what you've done.. its nice to be able to run reports directly out of UltraEdit and I really like the AutoComplete feature as I look up different functions on a regular basis.
The greatest thing about using UltraEdit is that the programs you submit no longer have to be under the /ibi/apps directory. It even runs files we have on a network shared drive such as in s:\requests\custdetails.fex.
This gets around one of the major peeves I had with Developer Studio.
I've made some changes to run.htm to fix some bugs and include some functionality enhancements made by Leo L. Thanks to Leo, if the FEX has no amper variables it will auto-submit. If you would like an update let me know. Everyone who got the files on 08 Apr or later has the latest version.
If you have installed Windows XP SP2 you will be prompted everytime you try to execute a focexec if you want to allow blocked content. If you would like to turn this off you need to check the box labeled "Allow active content to run in files on my computer" under "Internet Options" --> "Advanced" in Internet Explorer. Be aware that this may allow things you don't want....
I am new to webfocus. I would like to implement autocomplet feature on text box i.e. same as on google. User will type and it will pick the values from database from where user can pick the value accordingly.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Rats, I was hoping this was going to be a "UltraEdit vs TextPad" discussion revival. I was so hoping to further extol the virtues of TextPad since it's clearly superior.
Have you compared TextPad and EditPlus? EditPlus is my fave Windows program.
Mustafa, this ancient discussion has nothing to do with what you want to do. I suggest posting a new question. Auto-completion can be achieved with JavaScript.
