*Out of topic* About med editor

[DaRKMaN]

I know this is not the place for this but most of you-I guess- use med text editor for os development. I use it for a few years and think that it is the best programming editor I used. But I want more... I mean I want to implement some plugins for med but I need some interface for writing a plug-in for it. (Indeed I havent written a plug-in for any program but whenever I examin its built-in plug-ins, they are nothing but a dll file)

Those are what I want to implement:
- Collapsable and expandable functions.(Like some editors, such as wscite and some visual languages editors)
- A window showing clibboard contents

Any ideas about writing plug-in for med will be appreciated. And also Ill be glad if you write what you want from a programming! editor -especially for os development- that med doesnt have...

Behave yourself well...

Well I've never heard of it, I personally use Crimson Editor for most of it, MSVC++6/MSVC++7 sometimes, othertimes DevC++ or even notepad/wordpad.

It seems most the people here either use Linux with the KDE Editor or DevC++/MSVC++ if they use Windows.

Never heard of it either - I use gedit ::), just because it has not yet _failed_ in any of my requirements!

But is there really no official documentation for creating plugins? A simple google search gave me this link:

http://www.conitec.net/a4update.htm

In the middle you find a section "MED" with download links for plugin SDK's, they should also contain samples as well as - I guess - docs.

Ditto, never heard of it either. Notepad's my current editor of choice (or Notepad 2 rather).

What's med? I use vim and emacs in an xterm as needed. HARDCORE OS DEVING!

[me-too] never heard of it before. i use vim in xterm [/me-too]

As for MED,
-non-free, closed-source, costs money
-no linux version

MED is not free software. You may use this software for evaluation purposes without charge for a period of 30 days. If you use this software after the 30 day evaluation period, a registration fee is required. A single lifetime license costs US$ 30 (EUR 25.-).

*thinks it's going to turn into 'The one and only editor version 2 discussion', that's why I won't say my fav. editor*

@TS: Actually, like others, I never ever heard of 'MED'. And to be honest, I won't give any money to the developers as well. Because I don't need to. (e.g. I don't need the editor, I have others as well)

I own MED. I only use it in conjuction with the whole A6 thing, though. It includes a WYSIWYG editor for 3d/2d worlds, the A6 3d/2d DirectX Engine, and WED for model editing/importing/exporting. Personally I hate WED, I just use it to import and export to the A6 engine model format. I use Anim8or, so much better, and free!

The whole package cost me ~$80 and i've yet to even use it....since I got it a year ago.

Also, MED is evil, it sometimes won't open and I have to restart my computer caus' it freezes it.

BTW, Med does have collapsable functions.

The reason there is no linux version is because it is made for a DirectX deving suite.....

I think we are not talking about same program...

I advice you to check this site, perhaps you will like.

BTW: It has no linux version, but nothing with directx.

I use Notepad, QuickEditor, and the Programmers Editor. They work fine for me
