This project is getting too big to develop in isolation any more. It still has lots that need done but it might be usable. http://www.thecodebase.com/elephant.html Some have reported install problems, if it fails to install please report the bug ( on elephant.html ) and include C:\elog.log in the body / as attachment.

Do you have the sources anywhere as a plain zip file?

"Charlie" <charles jwavro.com> It's dependent on a commercial third party lib that you'd have to own to compile. Im still debating on wether or not to release the source, installers the only way to go for now, but it un-installs quite nice ;).

Very impressive. Looks like it's shaping up to be a worthy replacement of DIDE. Thanks for doing this, Charlie. - JJR
Mar 23 2005
Wow ! Elephant looks great ! I've been using DIDE since the dawn of times, now I'm sure I'll be switching to Elephant soon. Thanks for these wonderful tools. I'm sure it's in heavy development, but I've got a few 'observations' that you may find valuable or not ;) Sorry for repeating things that you know very well, dont kill -9 me. 1. It would be nice if Elephant auto-saved when building the project, just like DIDE did 2. I guess you're creating a new window with the 'COMPILING.' text on it as I press F7. When that window is destroyed, Elephant looses focus; that may be quite annoying. The same happens thing applies to the quick find and replace window. Ok, you probably know that... /me hides 3. Ctrl+C doesn't work for me, while selecting 'Copy' from the Edit menu works as expected. 4. In the 'behavior' tab in Elephant settings I see four checkboxes without any descriptions, just above the 'Projects Default Path' edit box. Do these mean anything or are they garbage that just needs to be collected ? ;) 5. It's not very important, but I'd be glad if I could set the background color of the source edit window. For DIDE I had to make a separate program that talked to Scintilla thru SendMessage :) Generally, the IDE feels great, I love the new Source Browser. I believe this is gonna be THE IDE for development on Windows Btw, LOL Deathtractors :) Keep up the good work -- Tomasz Stachowiak /+ a.k.a. h3r3tic +/

Nice to see that Elephant is a reality :) Something I find to be one of the most important aspects of an IDE is customization of its appearance. One thing I can't stand is white backgrounds. Which I can't seem to change (and which I couldn't change in DIDE either, IIRC..). Call me picky, but I don't think I'd be able to use this IDE unless I can make the BG black. It's not hard. It's just one of the other Scintilla colors. In fact the code to do it is SendMessage(scintila window handle,SCI_STYLESETBACK,STYLE_DEFAULT,color value);. Please. Pretty please. It's buggy, as can be expected, but I'll have to congratulate you on all that fiddly code completion and folding stuff that I couldn't get my head around when I attempted to make an IDE with Scintilla. Something that I kind of always wanted in an IDE - a way to "quick compile" a temporary file. In case you want to quickly test something out without having to make a new project. Would be great if I could click File > Temp File, type in some code, hit F5 and have it compile with the default settings. Then, close that file, and it's deleted or whatever. Your site is hot by the way. I'm really liking the minimalistic utilitarian design. ;)

C++ , MFC , CodeJock components & MSVC 6. It was a ton of work :S , i had to (re)write most of the components ( GrepFiles, CompilerDriver, Parser , SettingsLib, ScintillaD ... and soon to come DStripper, DPrettyPrinter ,SVN and CVS libs [ hopefully theres some good C++ CVS / SVN stuff ] -- all of which Id welcome help! ) so it took a while. But I have some good components I can re-use now , most of which Ill make available eventually ( if anyone wants them. ). I would have written in D but DFL doesnt support MDI yet, and DMD is written in C++ and Im no good with writing parsers :).

Looks good. I've setup it and play for a few minutes. Well this may be best IDE for D in my eyes if Elephat will has one small but very very important thing for big projects: Be able to reflect real files/dirs layout in project (not separate project tree which can differ) like eclipse and PN2 does. However you can ask: how to enumerate files to compile? Well I suggest give real-reflect ability just when compile method is `make` or `external tool`. This is the main thing that stops me before I can migrate to Elephant. Another thing that should be is run build tool with different command line params according to current config (release / debug). And optionaly it will be very nice if I can to add highlighting for some language and associate filename pattern with that language. It was critics but as a whole: great work Victor Nakoryakov nail-mail<at>mail<dot>ru

I thought about this, but its alot of work :). And its not really a general purpose editor, more just for D. I still use emacs for everything else. Might add C support, XML , other languages that D uses though.

Intereseting, what are the advantages to this ?
Advantage is that I should not to do same work twice. I use MSVC for a several years at work which has the same paradigm - separate .sln tree. Practice shows that .sln project structure is always the same as in real file system. Separate tree just adds complexity and adds no advantages: very often error is creating new file in BLA_BLA project dir but physicaly in DEFAULT_NEWFILE_DIR. Plus - one big big big advantage of real reflection is that I can do some actions on dirs from within IDE right as from windows-shell, for example commit/update folder with SVN or CVS. Separate tree is useful just to know what to compile when built-in building method is used, but why to restrict users that use make / scons / etc I can't understand. Victor Nakoryakov nail-mail<at>mail<dot>ru
Mar 27 2005
It does sound useful, and reasonably easy at first , but does the IDE _enfore_ these rules ? For instance if adding a file thats three levels deep in /src/modules/xml.d to an exisitng project , does the IDE then create , in the IDE project directory tree, the Src -> Modules directory's ? Does it require those directories already be added to the project ? Or is it just when a new project is setup , and the IDE's New Folder option is chosen that the folder is created on the file system ? I will download PN2 and try to test.

Ehhh... I see you didn't understand my thought completly. summarily, my suggestion is to be able to forget about project-mirror tree and have some likeness to Windows Explorer in this window. Plus some mechanism to set filter for shown files (e.g., show files *.d, hide all .*, hide dirs CVS) will be necessary. Voila, we have preciese reflection of what we have on file system without any trash like .svn folders and .txt files. So adding new file or folder actualy will create that entity in FS and the tree will be rebuilt to show FS changes. If I'm correctly understand your doubt, my point of view is if you choose File -> New and enters /src/modules/xml.d then my/project/dir/src folder will be created on FS if it does not already exists (I mean that Elephant's project file will be in my/project/dir) then my/project/dir/src/modules and then my/project/dir/src/modules/xml.d, all on FS and after that tree is refreshed to reflect changes. In this case *each* entity in tree (not just file) is entity in fs and very simple to make on additional item in context menu, something a-la shell> which will has a submenu that reflects menu shown to you in Windows Explorer on right click. So having Tortoise SVN/CVS installed I can use it right within IDE, very great. Victor Nakoryakov nail-mail<at>mail<dot>ru

Actually if we're doing away with a seperate project tree ( and just do 100% reflection ) this solves the problem I was thinking of.So having Tortoise SVN/CVS installed I can use it right within IDE, very great.
That is great, alleviates the need for built-in SVN/CVS as well. My only concern is that initially it will harder for people to learn , coming from MSVS products , but I will definetly implement, just not sure how yet. Thanks, good idea.

Charlie,
I gotta say - excellent work so far on Elephant! I'm really liking it. I'd
just like to give you some bug feedback, if you weren't aware.
1. Help->About box doesn't close til you hit escape (no close button?)
2. Clicking on the error line in the output(build) pane doesn't relocate the
cursor to the offending file & line, which would be sweet :)
3. Can we have more control over tooltips and code-completion? At least the
ability to enable/disable them.
4. Clicking on the closing curly-brace of a code block gives a nice tooltip, but
the parsing seems to be off. Here are examples of this strange behavior:
type determinant() {
}
tooltip: "type determrminant()"
void setCol (int n, Vector!(type,rows) col) {
}
tooltip: "void setCol ( (int n, Vector!(type,rows) col) {"
type opIndex(int r, int c) {
}
tooltip: "type opIndex(x(int r, , int c)"
Do you notice that the replication is at usually around the 12th character?
Very strange indeed...
Also, functions returning template-instances are not parsed correctly (or at
all):
Matrix!(rows,cols,type) transpose() {
}
gives me no tooltip on the closing curly-brace.
Once again, great work so far! I look forward to using this when it becomes
more stable and solid. :)
Regards,
James Dunne

Also, the tooltip reports a tab-character in the definition as a '\t' - naturally runs of whitespace like this should be converted to a single space. I really love working with string parsing code, so I'm all for helping you in that area! I read earlier you don't like parser code ;) In article <d29sig$2ul9$1 digitaldaemon.com>, James Dunne says...Charlie, I gotta say - excellent work so far on Elephant! I'm really liking it.

Here are examples of this strange behavior: type determinant() { } tooltip: "type determrminant()" void setCol (int n, Vector!(type,rows) col) { } tooltip: "void setCol ( (int n, Vector!(type,rows) col) {" type opIndex(int r, int c) { } tooltip: "type opIndex(x(int r, , int c)" Do you notice that the replication is at usually around the 12th character? Very strange indeed... Also, functions returning template-instances are not parsed correctly (or at all): Matrix!(rows,cols,type) transpose() { } gives me no tooltip on the closing curly-brace. Once again, great work so far! I look forward to using this when it becomes more stable and solid. :) Regards, James Dunne

Cool! :) Debugger, yeh? And dreams will finally come true. Did you consider writing this with WTL rather than with MFC ? As far as I can see there is nothing special there which WTL does not have already for free. Oh, yeh - the menus.... :) Andrew.

Yes , WTL is cool. PN2 ( http://www.pnotepad.org/ ) is writen in WTL and works very well. I only used MFC cause I spent all this time learning it and now its all but obsolete :(. I've really grown to dislike how quickly M$ dismisses technologies ( however poorly written . ) Charlie "Andrew Fedoniouk" <news terrainformatica.com> wrote in message news:d275ip$hb$1 digitaldaemon.com...Cool! :) Debugger, yeh?

Congratulations for your work.
I have always been a great fan of DIDE.
Just a few notes:
I cannot open a project file when I double-click it.
It should be possible to apply the DIDE default syntax highlight colors!
(I prefer them).
You could talk with Derek and integrate Dbuild with the Elephant (life
was so much easier).

Yea I was waiting on adding that untill its 100%, ill go head and add it though ( or figure out how to make it an option in the install ).It should be possible to apply the DIDE default syntax highlight colors! (I prefer them).
Cool Ill figure those out and make an option for it :).You could talk with Derek and integrate Dbuild with the Elephant (life was so much easier).
Yea that would've been alot easier :S. You should be able to specify a build script ( .bat ) that has build.exe <target> in it and it will run and capture output.

Charlie, "Elephant" is looking good so far...thanks for putting in the hard work to create it! :) BTW, what happened to your old website "Atari-Soldiers" at "http://www.atari-soldiers.com/?" I never saw any closing notices, before it just disappeared from sight. :( Keep up the good work.

Thanks! Its a work of love :).BTW, what happened to your old website "Atari-Soldiers" at "http://www.atari-soldiers.com/?" I never saw any closing notices, before

The site actually ended over a year ago, but they never took it down after the account closed so it was just sitting there. I'll get a permemanent home for elephant soon :). Charlie! "David L.
