WED

WED is a standard text editor with many Winteracter and Fortran specific features. It is built into our interactive development evironment (WiDE) and is also provided in stand-alone form for the benefit of those who prefer to use a different environment.

Along with the usual text editing facilities, WED offers the following additional features:

• Insert Winteracter library call : Automatically inserts a template call to any Winteracter routine, selectable from a categorised treeview.
• Insert Winteracter symbolic name : Insert one of the many pre-defined parameter names provided for use with with Winteracter library calls, selectable from a categorised treeview.
• Insert resource identifier : Insert the name of any dialog/menu/etc. component in the current application's resource file, again selected from a categorised treeview.
• Insert dialog put/get code : Insert Fortran code to put or get dialog values.
• Insert message processing : Insert a message processing routine, to handle a selectable set of event types. Menu-specific and/or dialog-specific processing can also be included, when this option is used from within WiDE.
• Insert new routine : Insert a skeleton subroutine or function.
• Insert colour number : Insert 24-bit RGB value or 3-value WRGB function call.
• Insert file : Insert an external file.
• Insert date/time : Insert today's date or the current time.
• Insert HTML : When editing HTML source, insert tags to add a picture, hypertext link, table, anchor point, list, etc. Also insert tags to apply text style or paragraph formatting.
• Syntax highlighting : Comments, strings, types, intrinsics, keywords, logical operators and Winteracter routine names highlighted in Fortran source. Highlighting also applied when editing C, HTML, resource, header and batch files. Supported on screen (Windows) and printer (all platforms).
• Fortran aware printer listings : Syntax highlighting on both mono and colour printers. A subroutine index can be generated and each routine can optionally begin on a new page.
• Multiple buffers : Edit up to 20 files simultaneously in the same editor window.
• Find All : Show all occurrences of a string. Includes an option to show the name of the Fortran routine in which each matched line is contained.
• Find Routine : Jump to any Fortran subroutine, function, module, program or block data in the current source file, selectable from an automatically generated alphabetical list.
• Find Difference : Compare contents of two editor buffers.
• Goto Line/Column : Go direct to a specific line or column number
• Goto bracket : Bracket matching
• Comment/Uncomment : Comment or uncomment blocks of text with a single keystroke or menu option. Filetype sensitive.
• Indent/Unindent : Indent or unindent blocks of text with a single keystroke or menu option.
• Save Selection : Saves the currently selected block to a file.
• Code generation options : Control over style/layout of automatically generated source code.
• Subroutine help : Place the cursor over a Winteracter routine name and hit Shift+F1 for a quick argument summary and access to full subroutine documentation.
• Mouse wheel : Supported on Windows and X Windows.
• Bookmark : Set/goto bookmark.
