Sooo...first of all, I'm coming from a background of C++/C# and I know very little of Windows forms. I've only thought to use them because I have a text editor sample that uses a Windows form and it seems rather simple to drop in controls and such. If there's a different path I should take, I'm open to suggestions.
Here's my dilemma - I want to use a vertical divider to section off about a third of my editor window ( or have a separate window ) and use the smaller area for a list of macros. I want to be able to add/modify/delete macros, and instead of using a key combination ( which is all I can find for macro use in currently available editors - thus this project ), I want to be able to click a button ( or maybe the macro text itself will be the button ) and have the macro inserted at the current caret position.
If anyone has any advice, or some example code toward which to point me, I'd be most grateful.
