Minor problem with "ReplaceSel" and undo

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,

I have faced a minor problem (to not call it bug) with "ReplaceSel".
If I call it several times (which I do in our software to insert some texts
to the edit control via menu items), then all is treated as ONE undo 
event (and not as several ones).
This is in contrast to ordinary paste from clipboard where I can undo each
event separately.

The reason is, that "ReplaceSel" calls
  InsertString(szNewText, GetCurrentDocumentRow(), m_nCurrentCol,
  TRUE);
with the last parameter "TRUE" while "Paste" calls it with 
  m_Selection.IsSelExist()
It would be nice, if this could be made constistent to make it more
convenient for future releases.
In the meantime for me it's no problem to make my own version of
"ReplaceSel" with the change. It's just that I want to help
to improve the SyntaxEdit control to make it even better than
it is already 

Regards
