Hi-

TKProE is an ide for TK. The creator said with an editor like notepad, you can save and close the editor file and it will update the proc window in TKProE. Is there a trick to that someone here may know of? I asked the question here because I'd like to use Geany for this. Right now, I edit my changes and save them in Geany. Then I shut down TKProE and start it up again and load my project to see the updated changes.

From the user docs of TKProE...

"Editor This option specifies the external editor that should be used for editing the application procedures. This editor is run by pressing the Edit button on the TKproE procedures dialog . The currently selected procedure will be opened using the external editor. The TKproE application itself will wait until the external editor program is closed before TKproE will respond to any more user input. When the editor is closed, TKproE will update the source code associated with the currently selected procedure. Remember to save the file before exiting the external editor. You should also remember to press the Insert button in TKproE in order to save the modified procedure within TKproE. External editors (e.g., Windows Write) that create a copy of themselves and then immediately return to the calling application will not work with this feature. (On the Windows operating system, the Notepad program will work properly.) Any necessary command line options should be included when setting the value of this option. The name of the temporary file containing the procedure being edited will be substituted anywhere the word FILENAME is found in the option value."

I will check tomorrow for any replies. I need to go to bed now and get some sleep so I can go to work. I asked in one other forum but it is a programming forum and not an editor guru forum. I will go mark that closed so there is only one question at one forum.

thanks so much, 3rdshiftcoder
