I am making a tool to fondle bits in various ways.
Check it out, leave a reply, share some ideas...

Cool. Put a button to select/deselect all bits. A option to choose among byte, word and dword would be useful too.

using colored(nice look) list box with 0..32..more items of '0' or '1' symbolizing bit states can remove all the checks, their alignment with 'static' control, their alignment relatively themselves, font independence. Bit offsets can be stored in same items too. Clicking/selecting an item you send a CB_GETITEMDATA message which returns e.g. 0x00 or 0x01 which is to be toggled through XOR 1:
0 xor 1 = 1
1 xor 1 = 0

more readability needed as your program must be useful in computer basic numerology: ignore " " or "'" or anything else in string flow: it provides readability for the end user

A little more progress...

New application icon and file version information.
Since we are a tool window the icon is only used for file build.

I hacked into the system menu so we now have a 'Sticky' and 'About' options.
The 'About' option displays a simple message box with version info and such.
The 'Sticky' option toggles the topmost window style (topmost by default)

Also i have subclassed the edit controls and
started to verify valid user input in realtime.

Still much work to do, but this is enough for an alpha version Razz

And some more small progress...

Added code to make sure common controls are registered.
Added 3 new operation control buttons [and] [or] [xor]
Subclassed rvalue control to start monitoring input.
Changed application icon color from green to light grey.
Minor size optimizations and naming changes.
Added missing version info (now is complete)
Added manifest resource to enable XP themes.

Its been a while since i played with tool tips so i am on a refresher...
Soon we will have them on all the operational control buttons.

I think this will become a very popular and useful tool Razz

New version Razz

New look and feel, including many changes inside and out.
Now validates all user input with more robust conversion routines.
I still have more things to add but this is the next release anyway.

Try it out, leave a reply, share an idea...

how about "number1 sar number2"
that's difficult a bit

Because of the design, it is very easy to add new operations...
For example, to perform the requested operation only needs very little code...
Code:
        mov     ecx,[_rvalue]
        ...
        cmp     eax,ID_BUTTON_SAR
        jne     .not_sar_clicked
        sar     [_lvalue],cl
        jmp     .refresh_lvalue
    .not_sar_clicked:
        ...
    

Originally i was just going to include the standard C bit operations.
But i guess asm users want the complete set of operations.
Maybe i could do a string box where you type in the instruction name.
Otherwise the box will start to become full of buttons and confusing.
Alternately i could script the buttons so user can choose what they are...

Thanks for the reply's, i will consider any ideas to make this a better tool.

I like the idea, but wouldn't it be more useful to have two rows of checkboxes - one for source and one for destination instead of just edit box for destination? Very Happy
Also, you could make it run in the Systray and pop-up/pop-down on a global hotkey. Very HappyVery Happy
Or, more complex it could be made into a Desk Band for the taskbar (with SetFocus on global hotkey).Very HappyVery HappyVery Happy

KingDemon,

Don't sit and wait, you might be first to implement it in such ways! Wink

I think this will be solved with the inclusion of xchg instruction.
Then the box will not have to be cluttered with two bit fields...
As for using the system tray, its something i have thought about.
I have version 0.0.0.4 almost ready, just a few more finishing touches and some test runs...

Well, I started adding the relevant parts from the SysTray example to BitBox, thinking I could do it in less than 10 minutes Cool, but when I realized that I had to go around replacing "DestroyWindow" with "EndDialog"; ".finished" and ".unhandled" with ".processed" and God know what else, I just gave up. I'm simply that lazy. Razz I sure wish I could give these little things more than 10 minutes, but after you've done them a couple of times, it gets boring. And who know, if you try, maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did.

Ok, version 0.0.0.4 snapshot is ready for testing...
It is a bit smaller than v3 to take up less room on the screen.
Also a few more operations have been added.
And more value range checking is being performed.
Still much to do, but so little time...

Edit:
Ok, so i had some time play...
I added a simple taskbar icon which is used to activate window.
Also the window is no longer "sticky" by default.
I guess this bumps it to version 0.0.0.5

Edit:
Version 0.0.0.6
1) Edit controls share same single subclass now with new filtering system.
2) Traded conditional moves for branch statements for increased portability.
3) Enabled edit context menu, cut/copy/paste etc...
Note: Pasted value must not contain any base identifier crap (0x,b,etc)

No known bugs, feel free to find and report one Razz
Thanks for trying it, and thanks for comments/criticism...
