TagsView is back! :)
-
Great news, thank you very much for the update!
I tried your dev-build and it works perfectly (64-bit build) but I noticed a slight problem when visiting location on tag double-click.
I have described it here several years ago and also have fixed it in my temporary build back then - you can find the source in the same link.
Briefly described, when some lines are folded and you double-click on a tag the location opened might not be scrolled into view or (if folded) will not be visible (will remain folded).Good work anyway, thanks again!

@Vitalii-Dovgan I’ve been compiling and using your incremental commits and so far so good. I see the “context menu” one, but not sure what that was supposed to do - I don’t see a right-click context menu when trying.
In any case, I think you may have extracted what ever little bit of my minor updates that could possibly be useful. Any objections to me deleting my https://github.com/vinsworldcom/nppTagsView repo?
Cheers.

The “context menu, part 1” was incomplete, I was going to finish it in the “part 2”. However, I noticed some stability issues together with some ideas of refactoring and decided these were more important :)
I think I’ll complete these things and upload a new build next week. Anyway, the plugin becomes better and better, so most likely the official version 0.5 will be released in June. -

So, what’s next?
I think, the most important is to add a “Go to tag” functionality to be able to go to a function/class/variable under the cursor.
Next, I may steal the images from the Function List (or from some other source) to use them for different entities such as:
- function/method
- variable/member
- class/structure
- namespace
Next, as WinAPI’s TreeView and ListView are not good with really large collections of items, I need to find a way to overcome that. For example, there can be a virtual ListView (where the items are not stored by the WinAPI’s ListView itself), but there is no virtual TreeView.
So what I’m thinking is the following: once there will be the “Go to tag” functionality implemented, there will be no need to have all the items for all the associated files to be shown in the TreeView and ListView right after the parsing. I mean, the TreeView/ListView will show the items (tags) only for the current file, however all the tags for all the files will be present in the memory. And once another associated file is opened either manually or as a result of the “Go to tag”, the corresponding items (tags) for this file will be added to the TreeView/ListView. I.e. the items (tags) will be shown by demand, but the information about these tags will already be present in the memory. -
Oh boy! The most complicated part of the “Go to tag” is not dealing with the tags themselves - no, the most complicated part is related to a popup list with the tags similar to the one shown by Sublime Text or VS Code!
First, this list should be a popup one; next, it should support multi-line items (e.g. the first line is the function/variable itself and the second line is the context); next, it should be possible to apply colors of the editor for the selected item plus the colors other items.
So far I’ve been experimenting with a custom-draw ListBox (with the LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style), which gives the full responsibility of drawing of each item. I’ve been spending a lot of time to understand what and how needs to be done there, and it is still far from completion.If someone has experience with LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED or LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE ListBox, please let me know!
I’d be happy to re-use some existing code rather than doing it all from scratch! -
I’m a crap coder, but was able to modify TagLEET pop-up box to do some nice stuff:
Instead of just the list of tags and context (which I added a bit from the original TagLEET, I added that bottom “peek” window which updates as you scroll the tags in the upper half. It’s only a RichEdit control - I would have loved to make it a Scintilla edit component and lex the text in there as well, but alas, I’m a crap coder!

Guys,
It seems like TagsView doesn’t work on Notepad++ v8.4.4. On Notepad start it claims the plugin needs to be disabled.
Do you experience the same? -

Do you experience the same?No. It’s working fine for me. You have @Vitalii-Dovgan latest version?
Cheers.

I’m using TagsView v0.5 beta 64-bit version with:
Notepad++ v8.4.4 (64-bit) Build time : Jul 15 2022 - 17:54:42 Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe Command Line : Admin mode : ON Local Conf mode : OFF Cloud Config : OFF OS Name : Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) OS Build : 17134.0 Current ANSI codepage : 1252 WINE : 5.0 Plugins : ComparePlus (1) NppEditorConfig (0.4) NppGTags (5) QuickText (0.2.4.1) SessionMgr (1.4.4) TagsView (0.5) XMLTools (3.1.1.13) _CustomizeToolbar (5.3)
On Notepad++ start I get a message “Access violation”.
Maybe it is because of Wine / Linux, I don’t know.I will try it on native Win10, thanks.
