For my scripts I always have the wish to be able
to create better dialogs then alert and input ;-)
One way could be to utilize http protocol to show
a web page and get back the inserted results and clicked options.
I have seen that this works well with another application.

Here is how it goes, maybe that would be a nifty idea for EmEditor too?
The key trick here is the EmEditor own ‘EEM:’ protocol:

Hi Yutaka,
have you think about a way to implement
such GUI-features to the macro language?
Mostly I need the possibility to show
a dialog with a few check boxes, radio buttons
and input/edit fields. Maybe drop-down list too.
Then I want to get back what the user has entered/selected
and work on that information to further execute my code.
I have seen that possibility in some ways already
and if you need some ideas/inspirations please let my know.
But please be more communicative and talk with your usership
to let them know what you think and if the suggestion have
a change to get implemented or not.
It’s not that nice to have monologues mostly ;-)
Join the chat.
Thank You
Stefan

Hello,
I am very sorry for late responses.
I don’t want to add too many features because they might make EmEditor bloated, and it will become harder to maintain in the future.
I heard you can add dialog boxes using COM object such as SeraphyScriptDialog http://sourceforge.jp/projects/seraphyscrtools/ There might be other similar COM objects.
However, I will think about adding more GUI interfaces.
Thanks!

That functions are exactly what I have searched for for years.
Many thanks for that link.
I have never found something like that.

Unfortunately it seams some parts are hard coded in japanisch language (see browse folder button and the path delimiter Y)
Also since I have to register the com object it is not fully portable. But I guess that de-/registering can be done by a script too.
Only it is not that nifty to share script with others if they have to register a dll first. Also they need admin rights.
And I have not found any help in english language till now.
I have to experiment a bit with that.
Thank you much!

Basically it works!

#language = “VBScript”
set obj = CreateObject(“SeraphyScriptDialog”)
set frm = obj.CreateForm()
frm.FormTitle = “Modify Lines”
i1 = frm.DefineLabel(“For every line”)
i2 = frm.DefineEdit(“Prefix Lines: “)
i4 = frm.DefineEdit(“Append Lines: “)
i12 = frm.DefineButton(“OK;CANCEL”)
‘OK= return code 3
‘Cancel = return code 4
ret = 0
do
ret = frm.ExecuteForm()
loop while(ret = 0)
if(ret=3) Then
‘//Insert in front of selected lines
Leader = frm.Value(i2)
document.selection.Replace “^”,Leader, eeReplaceSelOnly or eeReplaceAll or eeFindReplaceRegExp
‘//Insert to the end of selected lines
Trailer = frm.Value(i4)
document.selection.Replace “$”,Trailer, eeReplaceSelOnly or eeReplaceAll or eeFindReplaceRegExp
end if
Note:
SeraphyScriptDialog.dll
or
SeraphyScriptDialogx64.dll
have to be reistered as COM before.
Works on Win7 64-bit for me.
