Editor EE_CLOSE and RestoreScreen

Post by patrikp »

Hello, currently I am developing a plugin, which opens own editor. And after closing editor (by pressing ESC), active item from panel is unset. So I would like to fix that...
In OpenW export I am saving panel screen:

Code: Select all

if (g_Plugin.Screen == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
    g_Plugin.Screen = g_Plugin.Info.SaveScreen(0, 0, -1, -1);
}

intptr_t ret = g_Plugin.Info.Editor(
    session->TmpFile,
    session->File.c_str(),
    0, 0, -1, -1,
    EF_NONMODAL | EF_ENABLE_F6 | EF_IMMEDIATERETURN | EF_DISABLEHISTORY | EF_DELETEONCLOSE,
    1, 1,
    CP_DEFAULT);
Then after pressing ESC in editor, in my ProcessEditorEventW I am trying to restore panel state in the following way:

Code: Select all

case EE_CLOSE:

    if (g_Plugin.Screen != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
    {
        g_Plugin.Info.RestoreScreen(g_Plugin.Screen);
        g_Plugin.Screen = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
    }
But this has no effect at all.
Many thanks for advice.

As far as I know, plugin does not have to save and restore the screen when it opens the editor.
For example, execute the following command line:
lua:editor.Editor("fname",nil,nil,nil,nil,nil,{EF_NONMODAL=1,EF_IMMEDIATERETURN=1,EF_DISABLEHISTORY=1})
and then press Esc in the editor. There is no issue with active panel item.

Thanks for reply.
Command you posted works as expected, but the issue still remains for my plugin. It doesn't work even for the following OpenW (removed ProcessEditorEventW, ProcessEditorInputW exports):

Code: Select all

HANDLE WINAPI OpenW(const struct OpenInfo * info)
{
	intptr_t ret = g_Plugin.Info.Editor(
		L"D:\\tmp\\tmp.py",
		L"D:\\tmp\\tmp.py",
		0, 0, -1, -1,
		EF_NONMODAL | EF_IMMEDIATERETURN,
		1, 1,
		CP_DEFAULT);

	return new int;
}
I tried also Viewer - same problem...

You should return NULL because you do not create a panel. That's all.
