i just did this notepad replacement which i called it "zibu"
which in chinese means, something like "notepad" too! :p

zibu is not completed, but all the basic features are UP and user friendly.
you could try to use it and see if it could able to persuade you to remove your notepad.exe from Add/Remove Programs

It looks good. One bug report: You can't change the font more than 3..4 times. After several font changes, the editor stops to show the text in the file.

Regards.

thanks JohnFound


care to desribe more about this bug to me, coz i can't recreate the bug using my win95 box. and i try to change the font for about 10 times more already.

My OS is Win98. The bug appeared following way: I changed the color of the text several times, then I tryed to choose good font. After 3..4 fonts selected and applied (I can't remember how exactly), the text in the richedit control became white text on white background (but the text was still there). The colors seting in this moment was: white background and black text.

Regards.

Chosing Terminal, 6 pt didn't work very well.. the size was maybe.. uhm 100 or something

while, i don't have 6pt with terminal font, it only show 9pt ?
but i found one bug too
try resize the zibu into small window and then click open or save.

I have windows xp and no matter what point size I choose, it gives my a GIANT font type. Must be at least 2000pts or somethin' . How about the source? maybe we can help?

well, actually, the source is not nice (not yet stable in my opinion) thats why i didn't wanna release it at first. coz i plan to redo it again :p with a different code management approach and to write an edit control

and have some duplicating code too
ok, i post it here

All right, thanks, I'll have a look when I get time. To be honest, I hardly know didly squat about programming windows. Even though I'm doing the translation of the Windows game programming for dummies using DirectX, ain't that strange?! I only know enough to make the window required for the Directx examples to work good. Oh yeh, and I know how to show and hide the mouse cursor ;>}.

the goto line number has a small bug
it started counting from 0
so, when u goto line 5, it is actually went to line 6
and it is simple to fix it ;p

i guess so much problem with font, maybe due to the way i set the size
i just read the decard noteit asm

hmm when i open the exe it is in italic font i cant set it to normal?

ps: u look like a muslim regarding your donation

there are so much problems with my current font implementation. give me a little bit time, hopefully in a few more days, i would post another zibu release with some more features :

yup, i need your donation send it to me, God knows and insyaAllah one day we would meet in the jannah

btw,
coding for me is like playing TTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe), it is not the money that matter (ur line of code or ur code KB), the point is where u place ur rail station, bus station, airport and how you connected your rail station :-p to transfer those goods (how you manage your asm code, your variable name, your indentation).

if you haven't play this game,
