RE: Suggestion for Windows HTML editor

2004-09-07 Thread Andrew Tyrone

Hi Damien,

I've been evaluating PrimalScript 3.1 and it looks like a winner.  Sam Neff
has mentioned it numerous times so I figured I'd check it out.  It does all
of what you are asking, and more.  Also, the download is under 4MB, and it
uses a little over 10MB on disk.  I just slapped a bunch of help files in a
separate directory (including CFMX ones from DWMX) and pointed PrimalScript
at them; very easy.  This gives you context help via the F1 key when you are
within a CFMX tag or function.  Also, "PrimalSense" is already configured to
give you the CFMX tag-insight popups you've come to know and love.  The only
thing it lacks for me is CSS support, but I use TopStyle 3.1 for that and I
love it.

There are plenty of ways you can customize this tool.  One I particularly
like is being able to have one of your "open documents" be an actual web
page, so you can keep a reference link on your toolbar handy to specific web
references and whatnot.  Another thing I like is you can have the icon
associated with each file type you open display next to the tabbed filename,
so it's easy to tell at a glance what file types are without looking at the
extension.

I like DWMX a lot more than I used to, but it's still a little quirky for
me.  One of the things Jim Davis pointed out is the file browser -- yech!  I
always mis-read what level I am on.  Also, I've found that DWMX always
freezes up for a minute every now and then when I work with a mapped drive
off my local server.  I know this to be the exact cause because I can work
locally for hours on end and that never happens (this is with the 7.0.1
updater).

One thing I WILL say about DWMX is that it encompasses all of these features
and more, and I really like the built-in CSS support, but I still find
myself gravitating away from it time and again.

Subject: Suggestion for Windows HTML editor

I'm looking for a HTML/CFML editor for Windows with the following
requirements:

1. A projects system for easily managing a limited directory structure
regarding an individual project.  A simple file browser could suffice.

2. _Good_ syntax highlighting, i.e. able to highlight _javascript_ and
HTML and CSS in the same file.

3. Good basic features, similar to EditPlus (http://www.editplus.com/).

4. Some sort of snippets / clip-book feature, for often-used code
snippets.  Ideally these should be programmable like NoteTab.

5. Small footprint as my laptop only has 64meg of RAM currently.

6. Code hinting, e.g. I enter 
attributes.

I've gotten good enough with CFML and CSS that I really don't need
Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG facilities any longer and would like something
"light" enough to run on my new laptop at work (500Mhz P3).

In effect I'm looking for a cross between EditPlus (for its wonderful
basic functionality) and NotePad (for is programmability), with a few
extras.

Any suggestions?

I'm not interested in Eclipse as it is too big for me, and a little OTT
for basic text editing.

generate print dialogue box

2004-09-07 Thread Brant Winter

Just wondering if anyone knows how to automatically display the print box on
a pdf I generate with cfx_pdf ?

I basically generating a 100 - 200 page print job as a pdf with cfx_pdf (
don't know of any other way of doing it ) from CSV data.

The app is going to be used to generate a daily backlog of pharmacy scripts.

I am importing the csv through cfhttp, and adding the data to an access db (
just for testing ). I will then query the data based upon doctor logon, and
then generate the pdf using a cfloop and the cfx_pdf UDF.

I have thought about using a crystal report, but I think the pdf way of
doing things is working ok.

The main problem I have is, one of our more powerful doctors says that he
has used a similar app, where he logs onto a web page, and presses ONE
BUTTON and then print. So he too wants to only press one button and then hit
print in the standard print dialogue box. I am assuming this is going to
have to make use of some kind of _javascript_ ???

Any help is always appreciated.
