Title: [SOLVED] SynEdit - Detect Undo/Redo Without Using Timer
Post by: pixelink on December 04, 2019, 01:39:50 am
I have code in the changeupdate of SynEdit to turn on/off undo/redo  when the editor becomes dirty
However, I only doing enabled both U/R at the same time

How can I check which state the SynEdit actually fired... whether it is undo 1st, then redo 2nd.

So, basically, the 1st edit enables UNDO, but the second edit enables REDO

FYI... I already know SynEdit has built in U/R functionality (that works fine)... but how to capture what state its in so menus and buttons reflect the correct state

Make sense??

Have you tried using TSynEdit.CanRedo and TSynEdit.CanUndo?

Works perfect. Thank Handoko

CODE THAT WORKS:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.  
  2.   if SynEdit.CanUndo = True Then
  3.       begin
  4.        btnUndo.Enabled:=True;
  5.        mnuUndo.Enabled:=True;
  6.        popmnuUndo.Enabled:=True;
  7.       end
  8.    else
  9.      begin
  10.        btnUndo.Enabled:=False;
  11.        mnuUndo.Enabled:=False;
  12.        popmnuUndo.Enabled:=False;
  13.       end;
  14.  
  15.  
  16.    if SynEdit.CanRedo = True Then
  17.       begin
  18.        btnRedo.Enabled:=True;
  19.        mnuRedo.Enabled:=True;
  20.        popmnuRedo.Enabled:=True;
  21.       end
  22.    else
  23.      begin
  24.        btnRedo.Enabled:=False;
  25.        mnuRedo.Enabled:=False;
  26.        popmnuRedo.Enabled:=False;
  27.       end;
  28.  
  29.

You can simplify the code like this:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.        btnUndo.Enabled:=SynEdit.CanUndo;
  2.        mnuUndo.Enabled:=SynEdit.CanUndo;
  3.        popmnuUndo.Enabled:=SynEdit.CanUndo;
  4.  
  5.        btnRedo.Enabled:=SynEdit.CanRedo;
  6.        mnuRedo.Enabled:=SynEdit.CanRedo;
  7.        popmnuRedo.Enabled:=SynEdit.CanRedo;

You can simplify it even more if you link the button and the menu items to a TAction. All you would have to do to enable/disable all associated controls is to set the Action's Enabled property instead of en-/disabling them one by one.

Cool... Thanks for the tip
