Martijn Schiedon posted a comment on ticket #29
With a debugger, I see that, on WM_PASTE, GetClipboardData is called with CF_TEXT, and returns bytes 5A 6F 6C 74 E1 6E 00 = Zoltán. Then further down the line some mfc140u functions are called (#310, #301, #12765 and #1046), but I haven't identified their purpose yet. I'm guessing that text conversion could be done there. Could it be that the 'wrong' MFC libraries are used from my Visual Studio 2017 installation?

I think you might be using CF_TEXT instead of CF_UNICODETEXT with GetClipboardData?

Frustrating problem ;) I'm using Windows 10 Pro build 16299 (64-bit). Microsoft implemented some changes to font handling in Windows 10 (see this article), but unless the paste action changes the font used for the character, I tend to think this is more of a unicode issue where the actual bytes change when they are pasted from the clipboard. Setting the compatibility mode for Msc-generator to Windows 8 does not change the behaviour. Also, copying a text with diacritics from Msc-generator to Notepad...

Hi Zoltan, I've tried this with both Lucida fonts, Courier New and Consolas. With Consolas, the box with a question mark appears, with the other two fonts an empty box appears. What I noticed is that if I copy the following two letters"éé" and paste them, this results in the box with the question mark or the empty box depending on the font. If I copy "aé" this results in "a", if I copy just "é" the cursor disappears and the editor starts to wait for another keystroke before it's released again. Note...

Hi Zoltan, These are good outside-the-box suggestions, thanks! Unfortunately, I'm running into the error 'Cannot define designs inside a procedure' with the following code. defproc themecore($name) { defdesign $name { defstyle accent1fill [fill.color=accent1]; }; } defcolor accent1="#00ff00"; replay themecore("theme1"); defcolor accent1="#0000ff"; replay themecore("theme2"); use col; usedesign theme1; # Was expecting that both boxes are green box: Theme1 Accent1 Fill Style [accent1fill]; box: Theme1...

Hi Zoltan, congratulations with your newborn to you and your family! I know from experience that these are life-altering events :)

Hi Zoltan, The letters display fine when I type them, the mangling only occurs when text like this is copied and pasted in the builtin editor. The workflow is something like this: Start a new Msc-generator instance (select "Block Diagram" when asked for a chart type) Replace any existing text with the word "Zoltán" Select all text ([Ctrl]+[A]) Copy text ([Ctrl]+[C]) Paste text ([Ctrl]+[V]) Kind regards, Martijn Schiedon

Hi Zoltan, I was able to pinpoint the exact conditions where it does not work. Please see the full sample below. defstyle orange_fill [fill.color=orange, fill.gradient=down]; defproc nested_orange_boxes { use orange_fill; box b1: Box 1 { box b2: Box 2 { box b3: Box 3; } } } // This is working use orange_fill; box b1: Box 1 { box b2: Box 2 { box b3: Box 3; } } // This is not working and reports undefined style replay nested_orange_boxes; Kind regards, Martijn

An addition: I noticed that with 6.3.1, this only occurs with [Tab], not anymore with [Space].

Hi Zoltan, I discovered that with the latest 6.3.1, with the Quick Access Toolbar either below or above the ribbon, the filename is visible only if I set the window style to "Windows 7". All other styles (Office 2007 *) hide the filename in the titlebar... Maybe this helps with troubleshooting?

Block language: Crash of layout engine and style dependency
-
Hi Zoltan, Thanks for explaining the option! This provides a workaround. I can reproduce the error in a block file, with below fragment. The option "TAB auto-indents" is on. defproc server($id, $product1, $product2 = "") { boxcol server~$id: "Server \Q($id)" [server] { box: "\Q($product1)" [product]; if $product2 then { box: "\Q($product2)" [product]; } }; } If I [Ctrl]+[A] the entire text and hit tab, just the "if" statement indent (and that of its contents) increases forever... Kind regards, Martijn...

Hi Zoltan, I think I found a case where a bug that I reported as fixed still occurs; Position the cursor at the beginning of the text multi 2 box hello;. Then type (for example) top (really, any text works) and hit [Space]. This results in topmultimulti 2 box hello; while I expect top multi 2 box hello. The bug only occurs when I specify the number of copies. Kind regards, Martijn

I don't have daily access to two displays, but was able to try this just yet. A difference in resolution between two monitors seems to be problematic for a lot of apps. When the Msc-generator window resides at the monitor with high DPI, and I detach the editor window, it becomes too big to put on the second (low DPI) monitor. When I start out with the Msc-generator window on the low DPI monitor, detach the editor and put it on the high DPI monitor, then I cannot resize the editor vertically. I prefer...
-
Hi Zoltan, this would be a good enough workaround for me. I believe that circumvents both the way probing currently works and the locking issue. The only difference would be that I explicitly reference this (pseudo) designlib, which is totally fine. As long as there is made no distinction between how hints/intellisense functions between included files and designlibs that is ;-) Thanks! Also for adding the feature of highlighting the current line in the editor, such a thing might seem small, but it...

Exactly what I need. At first I thought defstyle block [shape=cloud, etc] was the answer, but that attribute has a different purpose.
-
I did some further investigation, and it's weird. If the windows is maximized on my machine, there is no filename in the title bar. If I restore the window size (double click the title bar) then a filename appears, trucated with three dots Current ESB Topology.blo... (despite there is enough room for the filename). Hovering over the application in the task bar also shows the filename Current ESB Topology.block - ... (less truncated), the hovering over the thumbnail that appears shows the filename...

Hi Zoltan, Thank you! I can confirm all fixed with the exception of this one: Clicking on a warning/error in a file that uses "include" jumps to a non-existing location in the editor or doesn't select the line with the error. Also, clicking on a shape which is defined in the included file selects a random text in the editor. Kind regards, Martijn

Hi Zoltan, Great! I didn't know that, the only style mentioned in the PDF manual is the #-style. I indeed see that both single line comments as well as block comments exist, and for all languages... // This is a comment /* This is some other comment */ Then I retract my request and will switch from #-style comments to the C-style. Please consider this resolved! Thanks! Martijn

Some bugs with 6.1.100/6.2 beta
-
Hi Zoltan, When I design and test a shape, which is pretty rare, I do that in the .signalling or .block file itself, so that I can quickly refresh and see changes I make. Only sometimes the shape ends up in a design library, partly because the locking of the designlib file requires closing all instances of the executable, which interrupts my 'flow'. I think the absence of specific hinting is not a problem, but maybe it's desirable from a consistency perspective; to make the behaviour and experience...

Hi Zoltan, I gave the new features a quick test, both on the 6.0.99 and 6.0.100 release. I used the default block ports ('ne', 'left', 'bottom', etc. with the exception of 'perp') and also option 3. I'm really happy that you implemented option 3 as well, this is a really quick and easy way to adjust the start and endpoints to my liking. I'm now using both the pixel shift and relative shift (e.g. +x10%) with my diagrams. I also defined a port on a custom shape, and while the port doesn't show up in...

Hi Zoltan, Both options #1 and #2 sound very promising and would provide me full control. I suppose it wouldn't always prevent lines from hiding each other, but the chance that they do diminishes by a fair amount. #1 would be comparable to Visio connector points, which I found a very useful feature developing custom Visio shapes. And I noticed that sometimes the starting direction of arrows is off, so the #2 compass points would fix that. Regarding the timing, is it an option to release and document...

Block rendering issue with multi box
-
Hi Zoltan, I started out using the signalling part 4 or 5 years ago actually, to be able to quickly flesh out (and validate) processes as found in SOA-environments, where multiple applications exchange messages with each other through service calls. There were a lot of similarities to message sequence charts. I specifically searched for a tool supporting text-based specification, because I like to focus on the content, not the pixel-perfect drawing part. So, more keyboard, less mouse, and intelligent...

Wow! Thank you! I saw your replies come in this weekend, but unfortunately could not respond until now, sorry for that. I really appreciate the example and the troubleshooting that you did. I'll try the new version ASAP.

An update: I noticed that the vertical column with pixels/leftovers/clippings of the current text is caused by the line number bar becoming wider (when more digits need to fit). Probably related to a refresh issue.
