Title: 4 questions
Post by: iZzz32 on May 12, 2007, 02:10:25 PM: Warning 2006.
"Conversion from 'void __fastcall function(void) *' to 'void *' is compiler dependent."
Is this true? Why? Maybe it's processor dependent, not compiler dependent?

Sysdefs.
If I delete sysdefs.tag, then compile a project and change a source code during sysdefs rebuild, it returns error 42. Created sysdefs.tag has size 3 KB and word-completion (Ctrl+Space) for Windows API doesn't work anymore.

Font.
Is it possible to use DEFAULT_CHARSET instead of ANSI_CHARSET for editor font?

Order of tabs in IDE.
Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab behaviour is strange. I expect Ctrl+Tab to show the next source, Ctrl+Shift+Tab to show previous source.

Pointers to functions are different from pointers to 'data'.

Known problem in the past, at least.

It is, AFAIK. Sure you are using the latest version?

Then you expect wrong, I guess.

> It is, AFAIK. Sure you are using the latest version?
I am using v4.50.113. I looked at the AppFont in registry. In WinXPSP2 it is "Lucida Console,10,204" (RUSSIAN_CHARSET), but under Win98SE it is "Lucida Console,10,0" (ANSI_CHARSET). So, it's 9x-only problem.

Too bad. Tabs behavior where Ctrl+Tab cycles right and Ctrl+Shift+Tab cycles left is "standard" (in browsers, text editors, IDEs, Windows itself). Maybe you can add an option for it?

Another feature request.
Can you add a hotkey that toggles bottom bar (Project/Find/Output etc.) state? And maybe an option to auto-hide it (like in CodeBlocks, iirc).

Post by: skirby on July 05, 2007, 08:17:00 PM: I think iZzz32 is right about Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shit+Tab behavior.
Windows standard is: Ctrl+Tab goes from left to right and Ctrl+Shit+Tab goes from right to left.

I was surprised too in the past by the behavior.

The next version will contain menu choices for this; you can then easily add the hotkeys yourself...

Could we have a little preview of new functionalities of the next build?
