Hallo specci48,
Thanks a lot, looks like we are getting somewhere
Today, I made the following modifications:
1. Open File checks whether file is UTF-8 or ASCII and sets a utf flag.
2. Encoding (UTF-8 or ASCII) added to Form.Text upon Open and Save As.
3. ErrorLabel added to Open and Save subs to close file handle in case of error.
4. Character and word count added to the Edit menu.
5. SaveDialog Filter reduced to "*.txt" only (any others throw an error on the device, probably due to file association settings).
6. Notifyicon disabled for the time being until I get the error out of the way.
Would you mind if I removed the "Use ASCII coding by default" check box?
I feel this affects user-friendliness by overloading the editor with options.
Besides, you have kindly added Save As UTF-8 and ASCII, which, in my believe, is sufficient care of encoding.
I will submit the new source (Ver 1.04) shortly after some more testing. Please be so kind as to stand by until then. As you said it, "the one who finds a bug is entitled to keep it"
The version history is a nice gesture of yours.
I am using the IDE under Japanese o/s, but I believe the mess is due to the fact that I set my Tab Size to 1, now to 2.
Cheers
Robert
