}This project aims to recreate the original Windows Notepad, but with some enhancements such as tabs or recent documents list. Toadpad was programmed entirely in C++, with the OOP design and the "raw" win32 API to ensure consistency with Windows's native UI. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to ask!
Currently, no executable files are provided for an apparent reason. However, if you want to test the app as-is, it is all good! :)
- Install Visual Studio Community 2022 with C++ components
- Clone the whole repository
- Launch the
.sln - Select
Debug x64for the build output - Build the solution

- Determine if the file is dirty or not
- Enable or disable word-wraping

- Resizeable Window with "adaptive UI"
- Shortcuts (You cannot add custom ones yet)
- Custom font (well, you currently can't save it
) - Line and column counter
- Status bar
- App icon
- Add a
'\*'character when the document was modified - Zoom
- Home when no tabs are opened
- Recent documents
- "About" menu (I'm so lazyyyyyyyy)
- Dark theme

Chadribleu.Dialogs is a tiny library to encapsulate dialogs like FilePicker, ChooseFont, PickColor and CustomDialog. The library is still using a deprecated way to create the dialogs (OPENFILENAME for example). Additionally, if you're working on an app that is using ANSI functions, my library is not for you, because it's using wchar_t to store characters, but the "macro version" of all functions though.
