this is my first time posting here but I've been gaining a lot from Steve & the community so I think it's time for me to pay back a little.
Most of us are probably using the crappy MetaEditor to code our EA's, and I am really fed up with it so I went ahead and integrated the IDE that I believe can help ease the pain and boost our productivity.
It's not as fancy as Eclipse or Visual Studio, but it achieved most functionalities I need. Some of the feature includes:
- Syntax Highlight (can still improve)
- Compiler integration (partially now)
- Function listing
- Autocomplete
- Parameter hint
- Help integration (press F1 on keyword brings up Help window)
- Bracket matching
- Block collapse / expand
- Snippet, abbreviation support
- Theming (not straightforward though)
Goerge's post at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 565#p26565 tells you how to make the editor compile indicator and script code.
