Adding refactoring in gfa interpreter?

[Roger Cabo]

Does anyone know if gb32 has the ability to add gb32 code to itself inside a lib, so it would be possible to add refactoring to?
I need a pop-up window to add some information in the interpreter window. 


My idea is to add a database with vars, types, functions, procs, at every start of the refactoring process and display the results in an small overlay window.
Then save the result into a different .g32 code and test. And to display errors during the changes..

Thanks!

1) Does anyone know what the Interpreter APP key is?

2) Another important use case question:
I want to solve refactoring by clicking a variable or function name by (CTRL || ALT) + right click

Generally is there a way to act on (CTRL || ALT) + right, without adding code to the current source code in interpreter?

3) how it should work:

Note: It's important to recognize the previous variable type that wants to be edited and refactorized.
I will find a solution for this..

* Selecting a variable or etc. by CTRL+RButton
* Explore the code && if okay then
------------------------------------------------
* Ask for refactoring the code in case of the new variable name if it not exist

* Compiling the code to checkup
* Compare and vars/funcs for duplicated behaviors
* Create a copy of the source code
* Resubing all existing vars/fuc with the new varname
* Compile new code

Should there be any behavior that prevent this from working?

Thank you..

HOW? Gfa_ commands stuffed into your very own GLL Editor Extension.

Here is the APP key...

For 'refactoring' utility, I believe there is a Gfa_ related solution in the help documentation...

Gfa_ Find & Replace

Syntax

Gfa_FindDlg
Gfa_FindNext
Gfa_FindPrev
Gfa_FindText [= $ ]
Gfa_ReplaceDlg
Gfa_ReplaceText [= $]
Gfa_ReplaceNext
Gfa_ReplaceAll


Description
Gfa_FindDlg displays the Find dialog box. The dialog always defaults the search text to the word the cursor is currently in.

Gfa_FindNext searches for a text string from the selected text's end to the end of the text document. If the text is found, the edit point is moved to the beginning of the match. Otherwise, the edit location is unchanged. This function is equivalent to <Find Next> in the IDE Edit menu. When the text to search for isn’t set prior, either by use of the Find dialog box or by Gfa_FindText=, the Find dialog box is displayed. By default, the search is not case sensitive and does not search for whole words.

Gfa_FindPrev searches for a text string from the current position towards the start of the text document. There is no menu entry for Gfa_FindPrev, the only way to invoke this command by using Shift+F3.

Gfa_FindText [=] returns or sets the text to search. Sets the text to search used with Gfa_FindNext and Gfa_FindPrev (max. 256 characters). The search is not case sensitive and does not search for whole words.

Gfa_ReplaceDlg displays the Find and Replace dialog box. The dialog always defaults the search text to the word the cursor is currently in. The search direction is always towards the end of the text document. The text to search for can be obtained using Gfa_FindText and the replacement text with Gfa_ReplaceText.

Gfa_ReplaceText [=] returns or sets the replacement text used with Gfa_ReplaceNext (max. 256 characters).

Gfa_ReplaceNext searches and replaces a text string. Gfa_ReplaceNext searches for a text string (Gfa_FindText) from the current text position to the end of the text document. If the search text is found, the edit point is moved to the beginning of the match and the text is replaced with the replacement text (Gfa_ReplaceText). If no replacement text is specified the Find and replace dialog box is displayed.

Gfa_ReplaceNext is equivalent to pressing Ctrl+F3. The inverse operation; search and replace towards the start of the text document is possible with Shift+Ctrl+F3, but has no equivalent editor extension command. However, there is an easy workaround by sending the command ID value for the accelerator key.


' Search & Replace Previous
'
Const accCtrlShiftF3 = 0x432
SendMessage Gfa_hWnd, WM_COMMAND, MakeWParam(accCtrlShiftF3, 1), 0

Gfa_ReplaceAll searches and replaces all occurrences of a text string. Searches and replaces all occurrences of a text string. The text to search for can be set using the Find and Replace dialog box or by assigning it to Gfa_FindText. The replacement text is either provided in the dialog box or set with Gfa_ReplaceText.

To get a 'fancy' pop-up may require opening a window from your GLL and managing its system messages to interact with it and the controls you put in it.  I looked into this some time ago, but, I did not work anything out yet.
