[wxlua-users] Notification and Message

[Andre <ar...@ki...>]

Scintilla expect string for some of its messages this list may not be 
complete but since the code is emitted it is not important.
SCI_SETTEXT 
SCI_COPYTEXT
SCI_REPLACESEL 
SCI_REPLACETARGET
SCI_REPLACETARGETRE
SCI_SEARCHINTARGET
SCI_ADDTEXT 
SCI_ADDSTYLEDTEXT 
SCI_INSERTTEXT 
SCI_APPENDTEXT
SCI_SETWORDCHARS 
SCI_SETSTYLINGEX
SCI_TEXTWIDTH
SCI_MARKERDEFINEPIXMAP
SCI_STYLESETFONT

a change has to be made in wxLua_wxStyledTextCtrl_SendMsg in stc.cpp which is
emitted by genwxbind.lua.

also: 
in NotifyMacroRecord in editor.cxx
SCI_REPLACESEL sends a pointer instead of the string.
In all cases a single character is being transferred but it is stored in a 
string.
I am not familiar enough with the code to propose a change so I will change
the code locally an let others do the actual modification.

Thank you 

Andre

I have made the change in editor.cxx and got record macro to work but obviously
the change will have to be made somewhere in wxlua. 

The value return is always a single character never a string. I took advantage
of this for testing. I do not think that any of the other notifications return
characters or strings.

I think all of these have an equivalent function which would be more
appropriate to use. Is there one of these that does not have a
function to go with it? SendMsg is very low level and I have never
needed it.

eg. SCI_APPENDTEXT == AppendText(string)

Again, just use the function wxStyledTextCtrl::ReplaceSelection(string).

the documentation for the wxStyledTextCtrl can be viewed here.

In the case of the SCI_REPLACESEL notification I have no choice I am on the
receiving end.
The other one would be nice to fix but I have no problem coding around them.

Maybe I should be clearer.

this is the code:
editor:StartRecord()
frame:Connect(wx.wxID_ANY, wx.wxEVT_STC_MACRORECORD,
function (event)
 table.insert(recorded, {event.Message, event.WParam, event.LParam})
end)

the problem is that for the SCI_REPLACESEL notification scintilla send a
character back, but the event contains the pointer to the character instead of
the pointer.

I could see in the code where this could be changed but the character must be
transformed into a LUA string I could not figure out how to do this.

So I change Scintilla to send back a the value instead of the pointer and got
the  code working. But this not a reasonnable solution.

Hope this help
