strips

[Frank Wunderlich]

Hi,
i knew that newer scite-version can contain strips. but can they aligned
on the left/right side or only on the bottom?
can i access the main-window/widget of the strip via external library
(gui-lib) to add controls not supported by scite
(listview,resize-controls,treeview etc)?

regards Frank

Well, that is always possible with Windows (at least) because once you
have the main window handle you can look at its children, etc.
(Equivalent but different functionality exists for GTK+). The result
does depend on the internal structure of the app, of course.

I remember hacking SciTE so that I had an extra blank widget on the
side which I could populate....

i don't know if the strip is always created (also on startup before a
strip is shown first) or destroyed on close...

how can i access the widget in gtk+? i have problems getting the
main-window...then i can cast it as gtk_container and enumerate its children

i hope we can merge our gui-ext for both platforms, i miss the
gui-ext-functionality on linux (havn't patched scite because of gui-changes)

Only at the bottom.
