Gui editor with highlighting

Does anyone want to recommend a nice, small, gui editor that will do proper highlighting/markup (whatever you call it) for an assortment of file types (ie tex, fortran, c, etc...). Something to colorize my 'for's, 'while's, and 'vspace's. I don't like gvim for this purpose...something simpler like leafpad but with automatic coloring.
Thanks!

vi is all I use on cli but when I want to point and click and scroll and edit, I don't want to care if I am in insert, command, or command line mode. I used to use kwrite all the time (just a month ago any program I used began with a k) and agree that it is top-notch. However, I think I like medit for an all purpose editor, now; it even recognized scilab files which made me happy. I haven't tried beaver yet but it looks like it could be promising.

HTML editor with syntax highlighting and UTF-8 support

In an ongoing effort to move our lives into the cloud and into our pockets (and as a part of an article series for a tech blog), me and a friend are trying to completely replace the need for computers with our iPhones.
In some ways, it is going splendidly (Documents to Go Premium + foldable bluetooth keyboard = all my writing needs as a journalist solved). In others, concessions have to be made (as a practicing musician, my options are a bit limited, but with the help of Xewton Music Studio, Multitrack DAW/NanoStudio, etc, I can at least lay down some basic tracks, create basic MIDI compositions, etc).
However, there is one area in where we’ve made no headway at all. My friend has the great misfortune of being blessed with logic , and therefore, unlike me, does honest programming and web app designing work. And as far as we know, there is not a single HTML/script editor with more than just the bare, basic functions in the app store.
What we need is this:
* Syntax highlighting
* Support for UTF-8
A built-in FTP editor would be a nice bonus, but is not essential.
We found one for the iPad, but when we contacted the company behind the app, they revealed no immediate plans for an iPhone version. (They felt coding on the iPhone was, at best, impractical, but they did concede the fact that if there are indeed users who have that need, the existence of an iOS HTML editor would be justified, and possible lucrative, regardless of their feelings on the matter. On that ground, they promised to examine the possibilities to port their iPad app in the future, but so far, no signs.)
Does anyone know of such an app? Rest assured your assistance will be mentioned in the article series should you point us in the right direction

Unfortunately, my friend has offered his iPhone an ultimatum. No syntax highlighting, no computer replacement. It is strange that such as standardized feature has not found its way into any known HTML editor for iOS.
But FTPOntheGo seems to be a great app in general, so thanks!

Netbeans GUI editor: Add an action on exit?

Hello,
I have a GUI built using netbeans GUI editor and I would like to execute some code just before the program exits. Does anyone know of a decent way to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
Just a remark. As a good practice, one should only extend Thread when one wants a Thread to have special capabilities.
Generally, one should create a new Thread with a Runnable. So you could enhance your code as follows:
public ShutdownRunner implements Runnable {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        USB_interface_K8055.JCloseDevice(); // Static JNI method
        System.out.println("Shutting down");
}and
// add shutdown hook for program
        Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(new ShutdownRunner());Glad to be of help,
Piet

Forte For Java GUI Editor

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to switch usage between Forte for Java running on 2 platforms (Win NT and Solaris 8). For this reason, I want to try to use the GUI Editor in each. But when I tried copying the same .class file from one platform to another and running opening the file under Forte for Java, the GUI Editor doesn't show up the form and Component Editor. Is there a way to make Forte for Java able to recognize the GUI components in a class file not creatd in Forte or not in that version of Forte? Thank you for any help!
Bob

Hi,
this happens not just with class file but also with .java
file. I created a GUI with Forte ( on windows ) and because I did not jave runtime setup on windows, I copied, java file that was created to the unix env. Then added some code to it and copied back to the windows.
After that, GUI editor never came up. I lost all that I did
to create a GUI. Now I can modify GUI only manually.
I you have found answer to this, please let meknow
at [email protected]
rgds,

JSpinner in Forte 4.0 CE GUI Editor

Is there any way to integrate a JSpinner in (NetBeans/Forte/)SunOne 4.0 GUI Editor ?
The JSpinner class is in rt.jar, but is not visible as bean, and thus cannot be integrated in the GUI editor ?
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Lo�c QUERAN

I just tried that and JSpinner isn't among the choices.
Forte's help says:
"If the beans you expect to see are not displayed, the required attribute Java-Bean: True is missing from the bean's entries in the JAR manifest."
That means extracting/editing/replacing the manifest.mf file in rt.jar to add a section like:
Name: javax/swing/JSpinner.class
Java-Bean: True
Anyway, what I've done in the past is design my Forte GUI with some other component in the JSpinner's place - I usually use a JComboBox. Then after Forte's initComponents() method has run replace it with mine.
JSpinner spin = new JSpinner( someSpinModel );
Container parent = placeHoldJCombo.getParent();
parent.remove( placeHoldJCombo );
parent.add( spin );Although I'll definitely try the manifest.mf edit step next time I need to use JSpinner. Thanks for pointing that out.

Best GUI Editor as of 2008?

Hi, is there an easy-to-use GUI editor that can help me make GUI's?
I've seen Visual Editor for Eclipse but I need a tutorial that will be modern, not 2005, b/c the tutorials don't fit the latest versions of Eclipse.
I'm just curious if there is an easy way to learn this, as it should be easier to do than this. I'd like extensive, easy to use tutorials.
Thanks

I keep hearing this argument.
The problem with it regarding Java is that once you understand how the basic layout managers work, it's relatively trivial to write a Swing gui. Not to mention that the code you write yourself will be much more understandable and readable if you have to mess with it later.And I keep hearing this one.
So, you never read it.
Really you don't. The code is a side effect, like the Java file I bet a fair old few JSP containers make. I bet that is awful too. But so what, you never edit it directly.
And if something really does go wrong, throw the thing away. The UI editor makes it very easy to recreate, likely much less work than faffing about in code, generated or not.
The only good arguments against GUI editors at the moment (IMO)
* Ties you to a single development tool. And IMO that is an acceptable cost for some projects.
* Promotes awful design/no thought to reusability. If you can not trust your self, or your developers not to abuse a tool then don't use it. GUI tools can do reusability and good design.
Most tools require you to know the basics first. UI editors are no exception. O/c if you can not do it manually, don't use a tool.
UI tools are not for everyone I agree. But this out-right rejection of them is generally based on things you will not do with them (like read the source it generates) or outdated and based on experience with old tools.

Captivate 5 NeoSpeech - GUI editor for VTML behind text?

Is there a GUI editor to embed VTML “behind” text? It seems NeoSpeech is the TTS engine of choice for English (US anyway).
Testing with Captivate 5, the generated audio is *almost* good enough for use as a narrator. We have training “slides” where we voice over to enhance the experience. We have been recording audio but keeping the same person working on this project is difficult. I’d like to have a quality, reproducible source like TTS and the current implementation of NeoSpeech is about 95%. So, I’m thinking of planting VTML in the text but this makes the text awkward and the VTML is not for a casual user.
Is there a way to develop a plug-in that would allow an app to get to the text, manage the VTML behind the scenes something like OOXML is to text editors?

I tested the "Loquendo" voices as Ashwin suggested. Mainly the British English one, Simon, as that can be somewhat compared to the US English. I think I like Paul from Neospeech better, but such a statement does not say much. Here are some more details:
I like the British sound of Simon, I really do. But as far as the natural flow of the sentence - it is not as fluent as Paul from Neospeech. With Simon, I hear that the sentence is combined from independent units - words; sometimes there is a little break in between them (more noticeable than we would naturally do). Paul's renderings sound more like a solid sentence. Also, with Simon, I hear some unnatural intonation shifts in a middle of a word. Not to say that Paul does not have them - but not as often (and the latest Paul from Neospeech's website has very little of them).
On the other side, I do not mean to say that I like everything from Neospeech. I do not like Kate - her intonation is sometimes very unnatural (to my ears). And while some say that the newest voice from Neospeech - Julie - is even better, I like it little less than Paul. True, Julie has a very nice delivery and some words she pronounces very clearly, but other parts she says indistinctly, causing me to wonder if she has an accent, or just lisps. Generally, I prefer male voice over the female one when it comes to computer voices, as the female voices - being in higher frequencies, get more of the s sound. (Perhaps a de-esser could be built-in to the future version of Captivate to improve the voices :-).
If I were to compare the English speaking voices, my list of preferences would be: 1. Paul, 2. Julie (this one is not in Captivate), 3. Simon + Kate. But remember, my ears are different than yours, so this all is just about what I like... Martin P.

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

Edit in external editor with lightroom adjustments issue LR5 and PS CC

Since several days when I try (in Lightroom) 5 to edit an adjusted file (NEF, JPEG or TIFF) in Photoshop CC as external editor (with the option "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments") in many cases the adjustments ar not visible in photoshop CC, or only partial visible, and sometimes the file opens not at all. Removal of the preference files of LR 5 and PS CC and a whole new installation of LR 5 didn't resolve the issue. I have a macbookPRO with Mac OS 10.8.5 and the most recent versions of LR 5 and PS CC. Has anyone experienced this problem and what can be a solution.

I have no idea, but have you tried File / Catalog Settings/ General tab: Relaunch and Optimize. Relates to the database.

Using Rich Text Editor with a Custom Attribute

Hello All,
Can anyone please tell me as how can I use the Rich Text Editor with a Custom Attribute?
I want to create a custom attribute based on text datatype, but when entering the value for this attribute in a Custom Item, portal shows a normal textarea. I want that the user should see the Richt Text Editor.
Thanks for help.
Regards

Hi,
Can you tell me what steps you are using to produce this, and which Portal version you are using. When I tried it, I wasn't able to reproduce it. Here are my steps:
1) Created Custom Item Type, based on Text, under
Page Groups > Shared Objects > Item Types
2) Selected Three attributes (Description, Name, Publish Date). Note Text and Display Name were already selected
3) In Add Item Wizard, configured list to allow for my
custom item type selection.
4) Then I was able to see the Rich Text Editor when editin
my custom item type.

How to define the tab space in the PL/SQL editor with Oracle Forms 4.5?

When I use the PL/SQL editor with Oracle Form Builder, I found the tab space is very long that affects my programs readability quite a lot. Then, I tried to use Textpad to type my program. It looks fine with Textpad. However, when i tried to 'cut and paste' my code back to the PL/SQL editor, all tab spaces (approx. 8-character) are detected and the program looks awful again ~~ Would any one help me to solve my mentioned problem?
Thanks for any advices!

In 4.5 you cannot change this. In Forms 5.0 and above there is a registry value DE_PREFS_TABSIZE which allows you to set a value for the tabsize.

Making Rich Text Editor with PHP in Dreamweaver - Problem with CKEditor...

Hi,
I am developing a website in Dreamweaver and using the platform of PHP and MYSQL. I need to develop a Rich Text Editor just like the one I am typing at the moment. With my recent searches I have come across with CKEditor as one of the possibilities to add a Rich Text Editor to my website. I have seen older versions of CKEditor also known as FCKEditor which I believe unfortunatley is out of date and obsolete now (discontinued). I cannot find any of the downloads now from anywhere on the web.
I can find FCKEditor tutorials with PHP, but can not find CKEditor tutorials for PHP (when I try googling it, it always gives me FCKEditor page). Can anyone please help me and tell me if I can still make Rich Text Editor using CKEditor and PHP?
If yes, please guide me how? Any tutorials or reading material will be very helpful.
Regards,
Bilal . Khan

Yes, you absolutely can use CKEditor to create a rich text editor with PHP/MySQL.I have tried several editors and it's my choice.
Here is a link to the documentation page:
http://docs.cksource.com/
CKFinder is also very good in conjunction with CKEditor. Although it costs $59/per website, it's better than the free alternatives.

SQL editor with tree view

We are working on some extraordiary long SQL stored procedure. Due to the shear size and IF/ELSE nesting it is very tedious to understand the logic .
What I am looking for is an SQL editor with tree view, where we can see IF/ ELSE, LOOP etc block as nodes. For example expand a node and see all blcoks of code within it.
+ IF block 1
expand---
-IF blcok 1
+IF block 1.1
+IF block 1.2
further expand
-IF blcok 1
+IF block 1.1
-IF block 1.2
IF block 1.2.1

Do some Google searches for a text editor that supports "folding".
