Super Batch - batch file creater

This is my new application called superbatch. It is a small environment at just 40kb, that lets you create batch files.

Good Points:

You can run the batch file from within the environment without saveing it
You can simply insert key commands
It has a simple but usefull file creater thats runs at startup

Soon it will create a profetional version with a product key

If you would like to see more of this just say and i will make a website for it

Thanks

Robert Dilley

P.S if anyone would like to help and has good VB6 knolage i would be happy to let them into this project

@TheWinnieston Thats okay mate ;) Um, i think there is a place in the properties called 'variables' well i found it, put the words on and off in it, then cahgned the colour to red. :)

[TheWinnieston]

@Robobbly OMYGOD THANXXXXXXXX SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

It WORKS!!!

Now, you know how if you type "@echo off", the "off" is red?

How did you get it to do that?

I'm a bit stumped on that one...

Thanks SOOOSOSOSOSO MUCH!!

@TheWinnieston Thats good, and make sure you have the file with your project. And once youve added it to the componants, make sure it stays in the same file path. And there should be a place in the propertised called like 'Keywords' click on that collection, and add them in and it will change all those to a diffrent colour.

No problem mate

Chears,

Robert.

@Robobbly Thankyou!

I'm beginning to implement this .dll file in my prog.

Wait a second...

I just got an error telling me that it can't find the .dll file.

How do I include the .dll file in my project, and how do I change the color of the words?

Thanks again!

[Robobbly]

@TheWinnieston Thats good.

For this i belive i used Visual Basic 2008 only, but i have used C, C#, Java and other langauges before.

I belive it should be compatable with any language that supports the Visual Studio environment, so c# c++ and things like that.

Not worries mate, hope the programming goes well! :)

[TheWinnieston]

@Robobbly Thanks! I'm looking for it right now...

What programming language did you use for this?

I'm using Visual Basic, but I have C++ and C#, so I can convert it if I have to.

Is highlighttextbox compatible with all programming languages?

Thanks!

[Robobbly]

@TheWinnieston And ahha, thats fine :) Well i actualy used someone elses controll. I think its called highlightingtextbox so you would have to google it. Its quite usefull, and you only have to put one dll with the file so its quite good ;) Ive just uploaded versioin 5 if you wana take a look superbatch (dot) weebly (dot) com

[TheWinnieston]

@Robobbly Thanks. It worked! I might be asking much, but I really want to do the syntax coloring thing, too.

How on EARTH did you do that? Whenever I try to do syntax highlighting, it flickers like crazy or highlights the wrong words.

Please tell me how...

Thanks!

[Robobbly]

@TheWinnieston Thank you, and good luck. I have also added colour highlighting of the keywords as well in version 5. Your sounds good, and the running of the file was a problem that I came across. The simplest way of doing it is, as you would save the file, get the computer to save the text file to a specific place you know the name of e.g C:\test.bat Now if you simply type Shell("test.bat") or however you would like to run it, the program opens up. Its dependant on having a temporary file :L

Sweet! I'm making a batch file IDE too.

It has about a million handy features such as the Run... button, a text-to-speech feature, autosaving, a selected text editor, a snippet insterter, a switch creator window, a color picker, and much more.

But what I like about yours is, how did you do the run feature without saving it?

Thanks!
