I see the flickering too. I can even reproduce it by creating a simple form with just a rich text box and typing a lot. However, I compiled one using 2.0 beta and I did not see a flicker. You mentioned making a version using 2.0, maybe try that?

Also a bug. If you close all documents (with the smaller x) and just have the empty background, clicking "Edit" will throw an "Index was out of range" exception. Thought you should know.

Thanks for that. I also created a simple nothing app to test out of it wasm y app or not and saw that it wasn't just me. I will try compiling and coding it in 2.0.

Thanks for that bug report, I know why it's doing that.

2.0 is really nice. Heck, it has project options built right in for single instance mode and visual styles. Shame that with single instance mode you can't use a custom sub main and therefore lose the ability to read command line arguments

Not sure if this has been suggested,  but it'd be nice if you could "middle-click" on the tabs, and it'll close them... like firefox's tabs.

already implemented into 0.4. I'm converting over to the .net 2.0 framework. You guys will have to get it to use the next version. The only thing that has suffered from this conversion, is that when you switch pads when they are maximized, you see a brief flash of the pads in the background. I'm working on that, but everything else is running smoothly.

ERROR: :(

I havent seen the other posts but NexPad doesnt work on my office pc. Error: "The dynamic link library mscoree.dll could not be found......". I am on W2000 sp4

That is an odd error. You have .Net framework 1.1 installed with any service packs that may be available for it?

awesome. (Y)

Just noticed only happens when all pads are closed.

Well clicking edit results in:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
 ? ?<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

hehe All right cool. Guess I missed it a few more pages back. ;)

Nice job. I really like. Just one request atm. An option to minimize to system tray when minimzing and or closing.

584905063[/snapback]

That's been requested before. I'll have to consider it if I get single instance mode ever working properly.

All right cool. Um well maybe print preview too. hehe

Also just noticed save as with empty pad again u get that error. So u fixed that too I would imagine. :) And just save as well, of course.

Also the size and window placment of the internal window needs to be rememberd.

Paing having to always resize and move to where you want it every time when starting a new pad.

Just make sure you cant make it better than the external window or your scewed. Of course u can just remove size of setting file as i imagine thats were you would save it but still.

Also a Save All option would be nice so it saves all pads. :)

And maybe "Save And Exit" and "Save All And Exit". :)

Also an option to only allow one instance of the program would be nice.

I just noticed something really insignificant :/ Under filetype of open or save as, it's *txt not *.txt, was this just an oversight or intentional?

And two features I'd like to see would be a display of what line number you're on, maybe also add addition to find to jump to a line, and the ability to highlight specific sections of text.

That's a minor flub, nothing major. Line number is in. Turn on the status bar and look in the bottom right.

Other options, I will look at.

Using it now, good work. Whats CJV Coding? I saw that while attempting to ResHack it. (cant do much with reshack, I just want to change the icon :), thats all I see anyways)

584916796[/snapback]

Just a little nickname I gave to my one man wanna be company, lol. CJV are my initials. Can you reshack a .net app?

Well damn that sucks. :(

Well I hope you figure it out soon.

And thanks for all your hard work and time.

584960209[/snapback]

It does suck cause I can not find any damn work around. It does give me time to find a lot of extra bugs, though. I'm trying all I can for you guys. Besides that drag and drop bug, 0.4 is shaping up to be a pretty damn good release.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
