How to get a list of all AutoText files in the left pane

[win]

In order to make the AutoText definition easier, I wrote the following code. There are four pieces of code. I don't understand how to write it. I hope someone can provide some suggestions. Thanks in advance.
_________________________________________________________
Because the private function TO_Text inside QM cannot be used, most of the code uses simulation operations, I think there should be a simpler method.

The following code is usable, you need to open the AutoText file first, then position the cursor behind the last acronym field. Operation is not convenient

;4.code:Replace the default Abbreviation with the variable s1, Add a description with the variable s2

When I enter an abbreviation, there may be some circumstances that need to be judged. For example, if the entered abbreviation already exists, the user is prompted to change it. If the user confirms, the selected row is inserted in the next line where the abbreviation already exists

[win]

This feature is very practical, easy to use, it can help a lot of people save a lot of input time and define time, I very much hope that developers can consider improving

the problem is your understanding of the code
it errors because your count is off.

The following code works fine, currently only the last step of the code  

I think the code in the third and fourth steps is very difficult. It needs to read some fields of the file, then analyze the file positioning cursor, and finally write the characters to the corresponding position.

don't change the code don't need act at all

use setwintext

setwintext  Is a good idea

[Kevin]

better would probably be this

s2 ???
It is a description 

[Kevin]

you mean comment?

auto is formatted as such
 Autotext list text is a list of items, each in separate line. Item format:

Text - text that you must type to execute statements.

• Can be used any characters, including spaces, tabs and line breaks.
  
• Can be used escape sequences.
  

statements - any commands that you can use in macros.

• To separate multiple statements, use semicolons.
  

also why always make auto text use multiline?  most common autotext  is a single replacement

then again i don't know what your selecting at the beginning of the function either.

[Kevin]

what are you selecting before running this function?

[win]

I set the global hotkey: CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+A

When I see useful code on some documents or web pages, select it, then press the hotkey, I can run the above code, which is very convenient


Now the code can do most of the work, but still need to manually modify the acronym, then add a comment

[win]

After some tests, I found a problem. After adding the AutoText, I need to close it. Otherwise, the insertion point will be wrong when I add it later. How can I close the open AutoText in a simple way?

[win]

Now that only the last step has not been completed, developers can provide some solutions? thank you very much

if still having issues i will get back to you after i awaken.

[win]

There will be blank lines ,

In addition, I also need to consider a situation, if the defined phrase acronym already exists, the new phrase, created to the existing at the next line, can be achieved?

[win]

I added an input box, In the input dialog, I added two ways to display the AutoText.

One is the combo box. In this way, after selecting the item, you need to press the ok button.

One is a list box. In this way, after double-clicking the project, execute it directly.  How to achieve? 

I have an idea:

When the AutoText file is opened, the insertion point is always positioned immediately at the beginning of the second line. Please see the position of the image below.

In this way, the newly added phrase is always at the top and there will never be an unknown error.

The newly added phrase is always at the top, very convenient to view. At present, I don't understand the main code. Can you help me to modify it? thank you very much

At present, the AutoText list does not show the folder where it is located. How to display the AutoText in the form of a directory tree, please see the image below.

I didn't find this control in the dialog editor, I hope someone can provide an example for this function, thank you very much

[Kevin]

you need to go back and read again qm help about dialogs as you really don't understand at all how they work or the controls in them work. In the post with the list box and the combo box the list box will not work how you want. You created a dialog with no dialog procedure. the list box is useless.

[win]

The three problems I am currently experiencing:

1. How to display the last modified item in the combo box, red arrow

2. How to double-click the item in the list box to execute immediately, without clicking the ok button, pink arrow

3. How to display the autotext list in the way of the directory tree, blue rectangle

[Kevin]

Again  i will say the list box is useless in its current configuration it will never do what you want. You really need to understand dialogs and controls before trying to implement them

[win]

@kevin
thank you for your help, The code has been updated,
Currently, using the controls in the dialog box, there is no problem, I want to make the operation more perfect, but my programming level is limited.

The code of the dialog example, I can understand some, but the actual application is a bit difficult

meaning no matter what you enter in the dialog the abbreviation will always be "text" and the comment aka what you call a description will always be "description"


alot of this is absolutely wrong

str controls = "3 4 5 6"
str e3 e4 cb5 lb6
e3="text"
e4="description"
str s1 s2
s1=e3
s2=e4
cb5=_s
lb6=_s
if(!ShowDialog(dd 0 &controls)) ret
 
with this no matter what you enter in the dialog e3 will always be text and e4 will always be description

to get values of controls when the dialog closes you need to get them after ShowDialog returns
like so

Code:

Copy      Help

str controls = "3 4 5 6"
str e3 e4 cb5 lb6
e3="text"
e4="description"
cb5=_s
lb6=_s
if(!ShowDialog(dd 0 &controls)) ret
str s1 s2
s1=e3
s2=e4

The above code has been fixed, my English is not well expressed, using Google Translate, this is also a big obstacle for me to learn programming, and Google search engine is not available in China.

Currently, after adding an AutoText, it will open. I want to add a checkbox to the dialog that will be open when it is selected.  This will be more convenient
