Color Options

[Al Wimberly]

I've been using a very old editor called E! for Clipper and now Xbase++. I'm trying to set the Zeus environment to more or less match E! (and most Clipper editors).

How do I define a commented out space where /* .... */ are used to block out usually a large number of lines and I want those line to appear greyed out. Also, can the // comment symbol at the line beginning make the line another color?

Thanks

You would need to edit the Clipper Document Type using the Options, Document Types menu.

Go to the Coloring section and select the Block Comments category and select the color of your choice.

Also, can the // comment symbol at the line beginning make the line another color?

Yes. Just change the Line Comment category in a similar manner.

NOTE: The Zeus Clipper Document Type is defined for file with the prg file extension (see the General section of the Document Type). You can add to this list of file extensions by separating each extension with a semi colon. The code folding also assumes the prg file extension so if you are using a file with a different extension you might also want to edit the xFolder.ini file found in the Zeus install directory.
