PellesC IDE (Whidbey Style)

[post from old forum]

Hi Pelle,

Your IDE would look awesome if you could emulate the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition IDE. Well, at least the look of the menus.

There is also a feature in that IDE that highlights a bar in margin next to lines edited after the last save. I hope you can do something about that. Oh, and don't you think the number margin is a bit too wide?

An option to add a newline to the file (if it doesn't already exist) automatically on save would be nice too. Highlighting matching braces, parentheses, and brackets is another suggestion. More coming later... Keep up the great work.

Just so I understand - what are you missing?

If it's not too much trouble, I will try to add a 'dirty line' indicator. (Well, better too wide margin than too narrow).

You should be able to set the line-break format through 'Properties'.

There is a 'manual' matching through F12, but highlighting is better. I will try to add it, if it doesn't slow down the painting too much.
