      Using comments seems like a reasonable approach,
      and I’ll use the one-line comment that needs to be
      at the end so the location is known in advance.
      The use of the underscore is also reasonable.
      Reading rc files, especially those created by Visual Studio (VS), sounds good,
      but you need to know that I don’t plan to write an rc compiler myself.
      The word “simple” in the first post is not by chance, unfortunately ;-(.
      The generated rc files support macros and preprocessor directives … which I’m not trying to implement,
      as that might require loading additional header files to determine which value is actually set.
      That is, if the rc file does not match the implemented parser logic, I leave it to the inclined user to implement it :-)
      And right now my parser logic is REALLY simple :-D
      As for a PS-PR, let’s see. I have something else in mind, namely that PS offers additional docked dialogs that can be created by a PS script.
      That would then mean that you can really create plugin-like functionality with PS.

        This is intriguing but I’m curious how one aspect would work.

        Currently it is “discouraged” (by PS itself) to attempt to run multiple scripts at the same time. If you had such a “docked dialog” open (I presume its controlling script would be “running”); would it still be possible to run other scripts, e.g. from the PS menu?

        If the “docked dialog” were modal, then this isn’t a concern (because it wouldn’t be possible to get to the PS menu). But the current plugin approach to a panel in a docked dialog is that it is modeless…

          If one designs a dialog, then puts such comments in, THEN decides the UI needs more work…

          Can the resource editing tool handle this, and KEEP the custom comments? Or would the comments be lost by such editing and need to be recreated when the revised dialog UI is ready for use again?

            This depends on the tool you use, ResourceHacker doesn’t seem to be able to do this. But the idea is rather that you use the design tool until you are satisfied with the result and then copy the generated code into the Python script to reuse it.
            If you need to add an additional control at a later time, then all you have to do is copy the newly generated line.

            This is intriguing but …

            Of course, these dialogs would not be modal and you have to be careful about the objects you create, i.e. don’t use these objects for something else or delete them, but that is already the case today as well.

              Sure, easy enough for one control, one line.
              I was more thinking about how I tend to do things… on a greater than 1 line basis. :-)

              but that is already the case today as well.

              Today we don’t have to think about script concurrency, because PS mostly prevents it. Anyway, just thought I’d raise the question.

                oh no, it’s not a concurrency issue, it’s more like the callbacks we use today - event driven.
                The script starts the dialog and ends. But the class that manages the dialog stays active until the dialog is closed.

                  Any alpha / beta version ready to test yet? I keep checking your repo but don’t see any new commits. I have a pretty easy use case in mind - an edit box with checkboxes for regex and case insensitive - all for a filter search lifted from @Alan-Kilborn 's work!

                    Hi, I have quite a lot on my plate privately at the moment, but I promise to upload a new version this weekend.
                    It’s actually going quite well and if you stick to what’s currently implemented, there shouldn’t be any difficulties. Sorry for the delays.

                      Repo has been updated, but be warned that I’m not completely satisfied yet, which means it’s not API stable. Further updates could break things that currently work.

                        There was a typo that prevented the dialog from being created.
                        I should have tested it before, sorry. Is fixed now.

                          Great! I have my small example:

                          from WinDialog import Button, Dialog, CheckBoxButton, Label, TextBox
                          from WinDialog.controls.button import BM, BST
                          from WinDialog.win_helper import SendMessage
                          
                          user_input = ''
                          REGEX      = True
                          IGNORECASE = True
                          
                          class FilerLinesEditDlg(Dialog):
                              def __init__(self):
                                  super().__init__(            title='Filter Lines Editing', size=(250, 75), center = True)
                                  self.label  = Label(         title='Filter for:'         , position=(10, 12),  size=(30, 11) )
                                  self.edit   = TextBox(                                     position=(45, 10),  size=(195, 14) )
                                  self.case   = CheckBoxButton(title='Case Sensitive'      , position=(45, 30),  size=(80, 14)  )
                                  self.regex  = CheckBoxButton(title='Regular Expression'  , position=(145, 30), size=(80, 14)  )

                                  self.cancel = Button(        title='Cancel'              , position=(187, 55), size=(50, 11)  )
                          
                                  self.ok.on_click     = self.on_ok

                                  SendMessage(self.case.hwnd, BM.SETCHECK, IGNORECASE, 0)
                                  SendMessage(self.regex.hwnd, BM.SETCHECK, REGEX, 0)

                                  check = SendMessage(self.case.hwnd, BM.GETCHECK, 0, 0)
                                  if check & BST.CHECKED:
                                      IGNORECASE = True
                                  else:
                                      IGNORECASE = False
                          
                              def on_regex(self):
                                  global REGEX
                                  check = SendMessage(self.regex.hwnd, BM.GETCHECK, 0, 0)
                                  if check & BST.CHECKED:
                                      REGEX = True
                                  else:
                                      REGEX = False
                          
                          
                          FilerLinesEditDlg()
                          
                          print(f"User:  {user_input}")
                          print(f"Case:  {IGNORECASE}")
                          print(f"Regex: {REGEX}")
                          

                          It seems to run correctly and prints status to the PythonScript console. I plan to integrate this into a larger script.

                          I’m not sure I did the checkbox stuff correctly. It works, but I had to import some extra classes and the SendMessage function from your helper library. Did I do this right?

                          Cheers.

                            You can do it this way, but I personally would put the globals as attributes in the class to avoid globals in the first place.
                            For the GETCHECK, because the checkbox is a “boolean” value, I would do something like: …

                            ...
                                def on_case(self):
                                    self.IGNORECASE = not self.IGNORECASE
                            ...
                            dlg = FilerLinesEditDlg()
                            
                            print(f"User:  {dlg.user_input}")
                            print(f"Case:  {dlg.IGNORECASE}")
                            print(f"Regex: {dlg.REGEX}")
                            

                            As for the SETCHECK, the SendMessage function is currently required.
                            The next version, uploaded this weekend, will have a checkbox button method setCheckState (that’s the same kind of naming PS does … so it seems to make the most sense, right?). And now that I think about it, getCheckState makes sense too because of the 3-state checkboxes. Also, the next version will be able to handle IDOK and IDCANCEL, which means you can close a dialog with ESC and trigger the execution of the edit with ENTER.

                              This just keeps getting better!

                              I updated the globals to a return class that I pass in and then examine on output. The issue is I want this as a prompt in a larger already existing PythonScript and class so the “globals” are just globals in this example - in my project, they are attributes of the existing class that the dialog will need to know to set on startup and then return in case of modifications in the dialog. The globals were just a “cheat” way to illustrate a “complete self-contained example” to post here. But point taken - I am avoiding globals in the finished product.

                              The on_case recommendation works as well very nicely and certainly simplifies code - removes the need for me obtaining BM.GETCHECK as well.

                              It’s Memorial Day weekend in the States so I’ll be stepping away from all this for the long weekend. I do hope you take time to relax this - and any weekend for that matter. I’m in no rush for the updates, but will keep checking back the repo to see when they in fact do arrive.

                              UPDATE:
                              The updated script from above with fixes discussed. Also add the c#_ prefixes to the controls to force the TABSTOP order - seems to be alphabetical:

                              from Npp import editor

                              from WinDialog.controls.button import BM
                              from WinDialog.win_helper import SendMessage
                              
                              #----------

                                Don’t worry, the weekends are for family commitments. I’ll just publish what I’ve managed to do during the week.
                                As for the WS_TABSTOP, I thought that the order of creation of the controls determines the order … I’ll have to check that.

                                  Also add the c#_ prefixes to the controls to force the TABSTOP order

                                  Confused me at first; I’m wondering what the heck C# has to do with this…

                                  Finally I notice this is what you meant:

                                    The issue is here. dir always returns a sorted list.

                                    Replacing it with for item in self.__dict__.keys(): seems to behave as expected. The first control created that has the style ws_tabstop gets the initial focus.

                                      First beta version released.
                                      Sorry for breaking existing code, but from now on this should not happen.

                                      The current state of the project is what I currently support.
                                      If you encounter issues where the dialog box or controls do not work as described or advertised,
                                      please report them by submitting a “git issue”. I will diligently investigate the issue and work on a solution.

                                      However, please note that any requests for additional functionality beyond what is currently offered will be considered feature requests.
                                      While I appreciate user feedback, I prioritize implementing features that benefit me personally and align with the overall goals of the project,
                                      which is to be a simple wrapper over DialogBoxIndirectParam Windows API.
                                      Thank you for your understanding."

                                        My example script above borrows from @Alan-Kilborn 's filter line editing script and provides a nice GUI to select case insensitive or regular expression type filtering.

                                        Here’s a new example, inspired by a script in the jN plugin translate script:

                                        import requests

                                            Actually, I think, from the screenshot, that it is ...\lib\WinDialog\__tests__\test_button.py that is being run, NOT test_win_dialog.py.


                                            When trying either of the two basic examples HERE, I get a dialog that appears and looks like this:

                                            eec693b9-2698-4c62-be5d-f4dc0b88f370-image.png

                                            But clicking on the Okay button doesn’t print anything to the PS console window (as the code makes me believe it should) and clicking on the Close Dialog button doesn’t close it (only clicking on the X in the upper right corner will end it).

                                            I must be doing something wrong in a really basic sense?

                                            I tried your recent (August 2023) scripts and both of them failed because they can’t find the import when you do import requests. Probably you are running with Prefer installed Python libraries?

                                            I don’t have an “installed” Python, but I have a portable Python 3.11.4. I wonder what it takes to make Notepad++ see and use that…
