Well my main project wasn't going very smoothly so I decided to realize another idea that I had in my mind at that moment.

So as you can see the main idea is to draw a big number of preferably short length keywords, that are of course variable length. App's main goal is to figure out which keyword was clicked & then show appropriate description below. Drawing of course is very fast/optimized, no flicker etc. I haven't supplied complete documentation just wanted to share the idea, btw my English isn't perfect :} .. Thought maybe such app could serve for fasm keyword documentation or PE format specification. ALSO I supplied an EXCEL file that generates most of .data statements according to keywords & their description.

It is a good idea.

Code:

macro KEYWORDS [key,desc] {
    forward
             local ..key,..desc,..len
            ..key   db key,0
            ..len = $ - ..key - 1
               ..desc  db desc,0
   common
              _keywords:
      forward
             dd ..key,..desc
     common
              keycount        dd ($-_keywords)/8
          _keylens:
       forward
             dd ..len
}


KEYWORDS  \
  "#",  "# operator causes two names to be concatenated into one name.",\
        "$",  "$ is always equal to the value of current offset.",\
    "$$", "$$ is equal to base address of current addressing space.",\
     "%",  "% is the number of current repeat in parts of code that are repeated using some special directives.",\
  "&",      "& stands for logical and."

...maybe, this helps?

(edited to fix error noted below)

Thank you
silly me Embarassed

trying to use M$ Excel instead of one powerful macro.
P.S. there was a slight problem in your macro

Code:

keycount        dd ($-_keywords)/4
; should be
keycount        dd ($-_keywords)/8

I think this application could be a very useful add-on for FASMW. Unfortunately it seems to be created only for 64-bit systems, so I wasn't able to test it. Anyway, keep it up. Smile

It's really easy to convert to 32-bit ... I'll do so when I added some useful documentation to it & it's worth re-release :}
