Rich Edit Sample

Compiling

To compile the example:

Launch EiffelStudio.
Select Use existing Ace (control file) and click OK.
Browse to Eiffel52\examples\wel\list_view\.
Choose Ace.ace
Choose the directory where the project will be compiled, by default the same directory containing the Ace file. If you select another directory than the default one, please copy images (*.bmp), icons (*.ico) and resource files (*.rc) from the default directory (the one containing the Ace file) to the new one.
Click OK.

Running

After launching the program, a window will be displayed as shown above. The program is a simple text editor which allows you to load and save files; select fonts and colors; and print files. The operations are accessible through the menu bar and/or the tool bar.

Under the Hood

Both the menu items and the tool bar buttons are handled by on_menu_command which has been redefined in MAIN_WINDOW.

Four of the standard dialogs provided by WEL are used to receive input from the user.
