Hi Eric,

nice tool!

I've got two feature requests:

• Double click on the left listbox should copy to right listbox
  
• 'Delete' button should delete the current selected state

Ton

[Bjarne Joergensen]

Hi Eric

It's a wery nice tool you have made and it would be wery usefull to me

I got a few comment to some of the features.

Case 1:
If the list of JKI states is longer than window can show and you select the buttom separator via QuickSelect, the window will scroll down to that selector and highlight it.
But if you select the top separator, the window don't scroll up so I can see the chosen/highlighted selector.

Case 2:
I don't understand how to use the comment states(s) function. When I use it it make a # in the start of the selected state, but that will make the whole state a comment!

Case 3:
If you have selected the last state in the States list and then press the move down button, then the state disappear .

Regards Bjarne

[Bobillier]

Hi Ton
I don't see where is problem . When you select one item in the right listbox and right click on it and select delete, the state is delete.
Do you whant a specific button for do that ?

• 'Delete' button should delete the current selected state

For double click copy , i see for update.
Regards
Eric

Hi Bjarne
For case 1 and 3 you are rigth and i try to correct this.
For case 2 , the comment and uncomment function can be usefull if you when made test ,and temporaly unactive one or few states, without remove those states of string list.

Hi Eric

I can see your point, but it could leed to misunderstandings to use the word 'comment' because it meen something else in the JKI statemachine. A comment/explanation for the state, not a rem-out.
I think it would be nice to have a rem-out of states for test purpose.
My sugestion is.
When I want to make a comment on a state the tool place '//' at the end of the state and set the curser after those two.
When I want to rem-out a state the tool place a # in front of the state.

best regards
Bjarne

Hi Ton & Bjarne
I have update my Plugin with your comments and more. (see revision note inside source folder) Please can you test it . Unfortunately, i just achieve a 8.6 convertion. When i try 8.2 & 8.5 convertion, the event structure in JKI state editor-Main.vi lost all is parameters. I don't see what's wrong.

Hi Eric,

that looks really nice!
It might be nice if comments were a different color (like syntax highlighting), but that is just a super silver lining request.

Ton

[Bobillier]

Hi Ton
It's good idea, but i don't know how modify programmaticaly different text colors in a same element of a list (or between different element of this list) .
I have try to set a different color of one control (Ex argument) but the color is lost when i send it to list.
Any idea ?
Eric

Hi Eric

Now it's working

A little thing more please

When you want to add a JKI state(also in the JKI argument list) it would be nice if you could rightClick at the JKI state and chose between 'Add before' or 'Add after' to place the new state compare to the state your standing at in the States list

Thanks in advance

Bjarne

I have add this feature in my new version , but not like right click, but like a specific button. Now i work arround add one undo functionality. I send you one copy quickly.

PS: Have found a solution for 8.2 support?

Not now , but if you find solution i will be happy.I think it's attound one event structure condition you not run in 8.2 and 8.5.

Eric,

one easy way for an undo functions is storing the current table after every edit in a shift register
Each array should be packed into a cluster, which will be stored inside an array shift register.

hi Ton
Thanks for your reply . i know how do undo function. But the problem is not how , but when.
You said " one easy way for an undo functions is storing the current table after every edit", but in my program, there is few
way for modify current table value ( double click, drag and drop, modification of each caracter of comment and argument, right click option,,...)
lot of them creat event but not all (Drag and drop) . Each caracters modification of comment and argument creat one modificationof table but i just whant only one undo for restore all previous value ( and not few).
I have try with LIFO structure but with few errors. If you have any simple solution to slove my undo problem i'm receiver .
Eric
