RomBot XML Editor [Program]

[Pushing40]

[2/23/12]
Version 1.1 is uploaded, Please read the Readme included in the zip.
Seems to be a little more universal now. However, I wasn't able to figure out how to undo/redo pasted code.
Sorry for that. Enjoy
***************

I understand this is my first post, So some will be weary on downloading this program. It's understandable. I will assure you it's clean with an online virus scan. The program does not ask for any login information and was made by myself with code snippets I have taken from this site over the past 5 days. So thank you to all who provided the tutorials for me to learn what I have so far.
The program itself is a simple XML editor for editing waypoint files created with micromacro. There are some built in functions for faster customization and less need for typing for some of you (I hope).
I will be more than happy to add new ones when I learn them or by request(please give an example of how it works when requesting a feature).

Keep in mind I'm not a professional programmer and I only intend to help the community so keep flaming to a minimum please. If you find bugs, report them and I'll do my best to fix them up.

Thanks,

Seems nice, but I've found a few things that could be changed.

First, undo/redo do not seem to work. Would be nice to have that feature.
Second, and I'm not sure this is really feasible with how you've designed this program, but it would be nice if, when adding code via clicking on a snippet to add from the left, would would attempt to insert it at the proper location rather than where the mouse cursor is. You can do this with regex.
Third, the minimum height is a bit too low. If you resize the window, you can cause the scrollbar to not display the bottom portion.

Note: This requires .Net.

It's handy for simple edits but my problem with it is the command list just scratches the surface. I think it would be impossible to cover all useful snippets of code.

Also I find the lua color coding of other editors invaluable in detecting errors.

Still the idea of entering snippets of code, ready to be edited, is appealing.

Probably, if this works out, the list will be so long that it will be hard to find anything. So some sort of grouping might be in order.

i just use notepad++ even understands the xml logic

That's what I use, and not only for xml/lua either.

You know, I figured most people would be using something better. I kind of liked the idea of auto adding code. Also, I'm extremely new to Rombot/micro so it's pretty much a test run. I will fix up the width and add a scroll bar. Also organizing shouldn't be that hard. I made the code land where the mouse was cause I was unsure how to make the program know exactly which waypoint it was adding to. I'll look into everything if people feel it's worth it. Personally it helps me but like I said I'm new to all this. Thank you all for the feedback, it's appreciated

I think this will be particularly appealing to new users, and may even help them to learn. Which will probably make life easier for us developers.

My number one suggestion is the functions need to be loaded and saved to an extarnal file. That way anyone can make corrections, modifications, add their own snippets and share them with others. That way you can occationally post updated snippets file without having to update the whole program. Also it makes it more appealing to advanced users like me because the snippets I would want are not the same as a new user would want. Actually, maybe you could have different files, one for beginners and one for advanced users etc.

Because the entries in the left list is brief it's hard to tell what it does exactly. It would be nice if you got a tooltip pop up describing the option when you mouse over the entry or some way to preview the code before entering it.

I wouldn't worry about auto inserting into the right place. Probably wouldn't be too difficult if the waypoint was empty but if there is already code then you will have to choose where to put it anyway.

I use scite but that has nothing to do with the topic. The OP is trying to write a program that auto enters commonly used bot code.
