QCodeEdit

[vermarajeev]

Lots of errors in "qcodeedit-1.0".

What I did on windows (qt4.2)?
1. Unzipped the file
2. Loaded the example.pro
3. Loaded the qcodeedit.pro
4. Loaded the standalone.pro
5. made example.pro dependent on qcodeedit and standalone
6. Build
7. Lots of errors

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Any idea??
I wonder how others are able to compile.

This means that the UI files are generated by QtDesigner4.3, and are not compatible with Qt4.2.

You have to install Qt4.3 or fix the UI files by loading them into Qtdesigner4.2 and then saving them back. There will be some information loose (the margins etc), but it will be easy to fix.

I wonder how others are able to compile.

They are using the code from SVN trunk... The code you downloaded is really old and hardly worth testing considering all the bugfixes and improvements that have been done since then...

Sure, its confusing with that obsolete qcodeedit directory sitting there.
The thing you need to know is that the working version of qcodeedit is the one inside Edyuk. You can get it like this:

svn checkout http://edyuk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edyuk/trunk/3rdparty/qcodeedit2

svn checkout http://edyuk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edyuk/trunk/3rdparty/qcodeedit2

We need a FAQ on this.

Is there any way of making the editor save its contents under a new name?

pEditor->setFileName(qsNewFileName);
pEditor->save();

Looked tempting, but setFileName is protected. This would seem like basic functionality I would expect to be able to do without subclassing.

The "protected" visibility of this method stems from early genesis of QCodeEdit when it was not yet fully separated from Edyuk and thus dependent on qmdilib... Fixed.

Sorted, thanks!

Very confusing
I go to edyuk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edyuk/trunk/3rdparty/qcodeedit2 and then how do I download the code. I get a link
1. "Revision 365: /trunk/3rdparty"
2. Click on "codeedit2"
3. another tab appears.

Is there a way I can download the new version of codeedit?

Is there a reason you cannot just run the svn command I posed further up this page? That will create a qcodeedit2 directory containing all the source.
You do not need a login account or anything, which is something that surprised me the first time I did it.

This is all you need to download the editor, build the editor and its example program, and run the demo

svn checkout http://edyuk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edyuk/trunk/3rdparty/qcodeedit2
cd qcodeedit2
qmake 
make
example/example  lib/qcodeedit.cpp

svn checkout http://edyuk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edyuk/trunk/3rdparty/qcodeedit2
cd qcodeedit2
qmake 
make
example/example  lib/qcodeedit.cpp

I think the speed with which this editor is being developed means you have to get into svn.

The demo is no use as an editor, no save menu for example, its just there to show you how to call the editor from your own code. And its handy for logging bugs

[vermarajeev]

See the attached file.
I copy the path "http://edyuk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edyuk/trunk/3rdparty/qcodeedit2" in Mozilla and I get the page as shown in the image attached.

Go grab yourself a subversion client: http://subversion.tigris.org/ (svn-1.4.5-setup.exe is a good choice for Windows).

[Usability]

I get the page as shown in the image attached.

Thats the place. You want all of those files, directories, contents of the directories etc. Download them from the browser if you must.

Or there is always the single svn command.

I think we had a regression in the find feature in the last build. I notice now that if I do

example/example lib/qcodeedit.cpp

then ctrl-f to get the find dialog, then search for "this", it finds the first hit but refuses to find any of the others. Both the next icon, and the return key fail to repeat the find.

The QCodeEdit is amazing.
I would like to use it in my project. I am able to compile it only dynamicly/shared, but I when compiling statically on windows using mingw i get error, because it links -lqtmaind -lqtcored -lqtguid , but in the static-Qt, there are only theese libraries without the "d" at the end of the library names.

Thanks for help.

Trying running "make release" (or "mingw32-make release") instead of just "make"... If it does not work open the project files and make sure the build mode is set to "release" (CONFIG += release)...

Right. It comes from the new behavior of QDocumentCursor::clearSelection() which used to leave the column number unchanged while it now sets it back to anchor column (introduced to make column selection consistent...). The fix is fortunately a one-liner and should be committed by the time you read this
