Jumping cursor issue has now been fixed. ddd, dd/mm/yyyy has been added alongside the clock Have a good friday, new version below!! ExamWritePad1993.zip

It could be the auto save or auto backup, after one minute each time, I'll take a look, thanks for the bug report :-)

your request has been noted, I think it will be done next week sometime, just working on v2 possibilities at the moment :-)

I'm hoping that with version 2 I can unify the single line and double line spacing to one method, which will also allow for double line spacing on screen. What this forum as I bet it wont be long :-)

OH go on then here it it now :-) ExamWritePad1992.zip

done! in version 1.9.9.2 tomorrow and I have made the clock text size bigger also!!

Version 1.9.9.1 is out below Fixed the Headers/Footers for printing when using Double line spacing option, which al now includes totla number of page on each print out example: Page 1 / 5 Added a clock on the status bar in BOLD and uses system treading rather than timer tick should should be more accurate. ExamWritePad1991.zip

In teh config set the double line spacing option and use version 1.9.9.1 and you shall be OK!!

Page counting is only available in the double line spacing option, .net doesn't have a way of knowing how many pages need to be printed until they HAVE printed. I suppose you would have to simulate printing to get page numbers (similar to print preview) then pass that to the actual print function. I think that needs some I depth work but I will take a look to see how feasible it is

As it stands it is suppose to put back the original values on program exit. BUT I have found an issue that if an original value is blank or never existed it crashed the function, so now I have put I place error checking so that all values will be restored. Fixed for version 1.9.9.1 out later today.

here you go folks version 1.9.9 below ExamWritePad199.zip

Thanks for all these issues keep them coming so I can release version 1.9.9 at 5pm (home time) [emoji1]

Hi, I have now fixed this bug, the file now saves correctly in version 1.9.9 This version will be out later today

Hi, I have now fixed this bug, if you save a file then click on NEW, the file name is called "NewFile" instead of using the previous saved files name. The version will be out later today

Hi, I have now fixed this bug, vertical scroll at has been reinstated in version 1.9.9 This version will be out later today

Win forms, not done anything with WPF as yet. Will take a look at your suggestion, thanks

Not really thought about the website stuff as I only ever intended to share this on edugeek. As it was the easiest way to share something with fellow school techies... I will certainly look into it once the product has reached a stable version, which is probably this current one. Realistically I only want to create something that sits in between Notepad and Wordpad that follows the guidence from JCQ and/or other Exam Boards/Groups. BUT, here is the but, I could create a config option to turn on additional formatting options as you suggest in future. With doing this means I would have to move away from the TextBox control to a RichEdit control, so im not sure how the rest of the code would handle this change but I will investigate. :-)

Ok will do, I take your point onboard. I agree that this topic will become so big that I agree to get the latest version what I will do edit the first post and always attached the latest version if possible [emoji106]🏻

I'm hoping that by version 2 it will be perfect for everyone, version 2 is not yet in development and I can only foresee from version 1.9.8 to 2 would be only bug fixes. But I'm all up for new features!!

Why thank you [emoji1]

Here you go folks, version 1.9.8 and I have sorted out the printing issues with double line spacing, the dialog box appears!! I had also found an issue that when you open either Candidate info, Screen Options or Previous Version Windows, the textbox is still active and can be typed on, so now the whole main form is disabled until the either window is closed. This also help to keep focus on the window and stops it from dropping behind the main window. Enjoy!! ExamWritePad198.zip

Ok I see, I should have asked which method you were using. I'll take a look tomorrow. Please remember that double line spacing is not enforced, optional but not required, by boards within JCQ. I'll see what I can do as it uses a different print method for double line spacing using the web browser control with CSS styling.

The natural occurance of a ShowDialog() is "supposed" to be topmost of its owner form, so I'm not sure I can do anything about it. It work ok for me also on Windows 7 64bit and Windows 10 64bit. I dont intend testing it on 8.1 because I feel that most people in schools will be either 7 or 10, and I don't have access to 8 or 8.1 either, so my hands are tied really, sorry. :-(

version 1.9.7 is now below ExamWritePad197.zip

I have kind of fixed the top most that when the charmap window appears the topmost is false and when the form is activated again it sets it back top most. But the print dialog always stays on top so not sure what is happening there....
