Autocompletion pixmap fix on Windows

   Mauritius Thinnes discovered a bug with pixmaps being displayed one item
earlier than they should be in autocompletion lists. Also a deallocation
failure. Fixes in CVS and normal places.

Scroll bar range changing

   David Ascher of ActiveState has contributed some changes to the
horizontal scroll bar. When the caret is moved into text that is beyond the
horizontal scroll range, then the horizontal scroll range is extended. I'm
not completely sure about the mechanics of this change so please report any
unusual scroll bar behaviour.

   When SCI_SETXOFFSET is called the scroll bar is updated.

   David has some more code for the horizontal scroll bar that may go in
after some more discussion.

   Is your list sorted? Are you trying to use a list sorted in a case
sensitive manner with non-case-sensitive selection.

   You could send some sample code that reproduces the problem. Small
examples can go to ths list. Larger samples should be put on a web site or
sent to my personal mail address.

   You can send the modification to me and then I decide whether to merge it
in.

Two phase drawing

   I have implemented an alternative drawing technique in Scintilla that
draws all the background colours before drawing the foreground text. This
avoids some text being cut off as described by Bruce Dodson on Windows XP
with ClearType on. The new two phase drawing technique causes more flashing
when drawn unbuffered and may be slower than the old one phase drawing.
Scintilla has a SCI_SETTWOPHASEDRAW API to set this mode (which is the
default) and SciTE has a two.phase.draw property.

   Here are some example images:
http://www.scintilla.org/OnePhase.png
http://www.scintilla.org/TwoPhase.png
   Note how the 0 final argument to setvbuf and CoInitialize are cut off as
is the f and ( in setvbuf.
   This also makes a difference on GTK+ although it is harder to provoke
overlapping characters. The standard X times font may and Microsoft's Times
New Roman (as used in the Windows examples) will.

   There is another problem on GTK+ where selecting chracters can cut off
other characters earlier. On GTK+ with the text:
if PLAT_GTK
   selecting the P can truncate the f, despite there being a character of
space between them. I suspect X does something unusual when drawing strings
with a final space (as does GDI+).

   This modification increases the complexity of the drawing code and there
is a good chance that it has bugs so please report them.

   Platform layers need to provide a new method DrawTextTransparent to
enable this feature.

Ok, will fix. Thanks.

You might want to look at the wrapper code I have (non-MFC, but C++)
which includes a python script which will automatically generate all
of the methods for you:

Good luck!

Never mind, I've just noticed somebody's fixed it already in CVS. I've
also checked that it builds correctly, and it seems ok. Maybe this
missed the 1.50 release? 

I noticed, however, that it was missing from the .dsp so I've added it
there and this now builds correctly again too.

I got the makefile from the .zip files available at the website, so
that may be it.

I thought the .dsp file (in "vcbuild" folder) was out of date and
that's why I used the makefile. As the readme file puts it:
"The Visual C++ 6.0 project (.dsp) files are no longer supported but
are left in the download for people that are prepared to update them."

Although I remember using the .dsp file to build 1.49 and indeed
produced some dll, but I got wary at the dll being called
scilexer.dll. 
Later on and after reviewing the makefile, I understood that you can

Hmmm been looking at that, although my main point for the wrapper is
to make it MFC-alike (allow to use HICONs for images instead of
pixmaps, COLORREFS for colors, etc) and to provide a CView descendant
(so you can use it in document-view apps).

I thought about the automated approach to build the methods (using
scintilla.iface information), but I want to rename some of them, make
them "MFC" typesafe, use name overloading, etc.

>Good luck!

Thanks :)

RE: Autocomplete problems

Hi Neil,

Thanks for the speedy reply. Made a silly mistake and missed the bit in the
docs commenting the list had to be sorted. I'll get it sorted and see how
things go.

Thank You,

Simon
