Text Editor Screen

I was continually opening and closing an external text editor to polish up different text files used by Element Manager. So, I threw together a very rudimentary text editor to get around this time waster. To access this editor, look under the "File" option on the main screen's Menu Bar. The editor is also accessible from the Selection Form screen's File Menu.

It's not much, but it works. There is a find function available too.

Shown above, the find dialog is open, and a search for "enabl" was made. Notice, that partial words will match.

Notice also that right clicking the selected word brings up the traditional floating submenu.

I figured out how to add status bars and so, naturallly had to try them out.  The number in the lower left corner is the ROW number. I wanted to put the column number in too but I'm stymied and haven't discovered a "clean" way to do it. But, in the case of element files, it's the row number we're all interested in anyway. Next is the currently loaded file. Caps, Num -- hey don't worry I won't mention it. Date and time, well it was easy so ...

I've used something called a RichTextBox to do this. One nice feature, you can load files of any size very quickly. Files with 8000 elements load practically instantly.
