It appears that the community is almost there in terms of getting gVim to work with Eclipse, but I can't seem to find the magic formula to get things working.
Here is my current setup: * Windows Vista SP2 * Eclipse Version: 3.4.2 Build id: M20090211-1700 * gVim version 7.2 I have the OLE version installed. (Help | Version confirms this.) However, it appears that it is not properly registered for OLE use. I have tested this by running WordPad and choosing to Insert | Object, but there is nothing there related to gVim for the Object Type. I have also tried associating gVim as the default handler for txt documents via the Explorer context menu, then dragging and dropping a txt file into WordPad and double-clicking the icon. This does not activate in-place, as an OLE server should, but instead launches gVim as an external application, as it would for any file, regardless if the default editor lacked OLE support. So my question is, how do your properly register gVim as an OLE server to get *in-place* editing? If you need an example of how this *should* work, use the Insert | Object menu to insert a Paintbrush Picture. You will be able to double- click the picture in WordPad and edit in WordPad instead of launching Paint as an external application. I think once gVim is properly registered, it should be easy to get it working in Eclipse. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
