NotePad and NotePad from Microsoft

Alright. Here it is my special version of Notepad dedicated to the people of AO. I decided to make it only cause I couldn't solve the problem with notepad defaulting to .txt extensions everytime I would open or save a file. I was talking about in the other thread. So I made my own. I put up the source code and the .exe up for download on my site since AO said the attachment was to big. You guys can do whatever you like with it. But let me know what you think and if anyone makes any cool features I would like to hear about it.

Im loading the source into VB right now and I beleave I like what I see so far. As long as its free then I don't think M$ will sue you however it would be nice to come up with a different name for it though.

That's just an active x control here you go. Some times people don't have all the required files. But put this in the system32 folder and it should work.

yes, vb does suck. Thats just an error because you dont have the library. May I suggest getting the VB component update.

It's awesome! I love the ability to change the background color...just gives it more depth and it's not as plain anymore! Great job!!!

Its great.... One small suggestion: there is no word wrap (and could use it) Other than that, its just like m$'s and more! Good job

I like it. It is a nice improvement on MS Notepad. The only thing I would say is that I could not resize it on my screen. I can make the windows bigger, but it does not enlarge the text area.

Shouldn't be too hard to fix. Just add something like this:

Code:

Private Sub Form_Resize() txtText.Width = frmForm.Width txtText.Height = frmForm.Height End Sub

Yeah you need to do this

Private Sub Form_Resize()
Text1.Width = Me.Width - 100
Text1.Height = Me.Height - 750
End Sub

it should work. I've been working with it alittle but not to much. Anyone is welcome to pick up were I left off.
