Rich Edit

Compiling

To compile the example:

• Launch EiffelStudio.
• Click Add project
• Browse to $ISE_EIFFEL\examples\wel\richedit\.
• Choose richedit.ecf
• Choose the location where the project will be compiled, by default the same directory containing the configuration file.
• Click OK.

Running

After launching the program, a window will be displayed as shown above. The program is a simple text editor which allows you to load and save files; select fonts and colors; and print files. The operations are accessible through the menu bar and/or the tool bar.

Under the Hood

Both the menu items and the tool bar buttons are handled by on_menu_command which has been redefined in MAIN_WINDOW.

Four of the standard dialogs provided by WEL are used to receive input from the user. This sample contains the following classes:

• APPLICATION_IDS
• MAIN_WINDOW
• RICHEDIT_DEMO
