===================================
hey guys Just made a simple text editor and just want your guys opinion on what I could do to improve it (mind you this is my first project written in c so don't ask for rediculous amounts of features you think might be useful unless your willing to either wait or help out coding)
Need Suggestions for my program

Need Suggestions for my program

Hey thibeaz, nice work.
I tried to open Shakespeare's Complete Works from Project Gutenberg (5.32 MB), and it was much faster than MS Notepad.
Suggestions:
1) "Open with" does not work yet, the same applies for draggin'n'droppin' a text file on the executable as well as opening a file via command line.
2) Word wrap & pretty much everything else already supported by MS Notepad.

thibeaz,
This is a great start - I praise your effort.
I would suggest adding some basic notepad functionality (find, replace, copy etc...) as a good starting point. As you progress, you can add icons, tabbing, and maybe a spell checker.
As you work through the project, please keep in mind that you want the keep app size small and most importantly, portable with no registry keys Also, dlls, config files, etc. should all reside together in the same directory as the exe.
If you need some help, you can reach out to the authors of other text editors posted on this site; I'm sure some of these authors would be happy to help you - they are a good bunch.
If you ever need a someone to test usability and functionality, just let me know
Good Luck!
Nick
