Hi All,
This is an old project and now I got some free time, so I'm back to it. My idea is the implement a Visual SourceSafe Plugin for C::B.
I'm still in the conceptual stage and I have a question for the C::B developers:
- What's the best way to deal with the File States within a plugin?
I've seen that the enum FileVisualState defines states for version control (vc) and that it can be set using the SetFileState() method from the ProjectFile class, but I still have two questions:
- What's the cleanest way to get a pointer to the project manager or the actual project?
- Even if I set the File State in my plugin, it gets overwritten by the cbEditor::SetModified() method (cbeditor.cpp, line 850) when a file read-only property is changed (I've tried it and it really does).
Any help is very much appreciated,
daniloz

I though SourceSafe was dead? Haven't MS killed it off? and anyway, I can't imagine any CB users would want to use it.

Not quite dead on our company... still using it...
Well, I want to use it. I do DSP programming and the Analog Devices IDE is just useless, so I use C::B, but our vcs is SourceSafe, so the idea... ;-)

IMHO a sourcesafe plugin exists already... :shock:

Hmmm... I completely missed that... where? :shock: please! :P

Ok - I checked back and shame on me! :oops:
It's a ClearCase plugin, not SourceSafe. So please ignore what I've said. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Back to my original question:
- What's the best way to deal with the File States within a plugin?
I've seen that the enum FileVisualState defines states for version control (vc) and that it can be set using the SetFileState() method from the ProjectFile class, but I still have two questions:

Anyone? I don't know the structure of codeblock so well and the only way I found to do it was as described above, but the File Status get overwritten...
Or maybe I'm posting on the wrong place here? :-o
