1. wxEditor scrollbars & wxBasic converter

Hi There. First post here.

Tried the wxEditor. It has a quite nice feel to it. However the scroll bars doesn't seem to work in windows and the mouse wheel doesn't work either - is this a wxEuphoria problem?

Another question: I've been coding a lot in wxBasic and I'm thinking of trying to convert some of my programs to Euphoria. Has anyone worked on code converters, I could look into to get a head start?

(Here's a link to one of my wxBasic programs: http://download.videohelp.com/tin2tin/)

Best regards,

wxEditor isn't complete, that's why those don't work correctly. You'll also notice you can't select text with the mouse (or Shift+arrow keys). It's simply a matter of writing in these functions, since the entire editor component is written from scratch (I call it wxSyntax).

I'm waiting on a stable release of Euphoria 4.0 before I release another version. A lot of the features of wxEditor will benefit from the inbuilt features of Euphoria 4.0, like enumerations (which will help development) and maps (which will reduce lag when editing files, scrolling, etc.).

As of late, I've been working on wxEuphoria in general to help add features and push out a stable 0.12.0 release (poke, poke, Matt). I've added several new features to the SVN that I will use in wxEditor, like wxProcess.

Look for a new wxEditor within 1-2 months of a stable Euphoria 4.0 release.
