# Text Editor - Windows Forms
This application is a text editor written in C# and Windows Forms as part of my college class final project in Fall 2016. Other projects
for the final project included:
* Simple login program using a SQL local database with Visual Studio.
***Link to source***: https://github.com/hjohnson12/LoginPanel
* Simple implementation of a file watcher program that watches a source directory for changes and copies the changes to the destination directory.
***Link to source***: https://github.com/hjohnson12/FileSync
* Basic application that connects to a ftp server and does simple operations such as read contents in a directory, upload a file, and delete a file.
***Link to source***: https://github.com/hjohnson12/FtpConnect
***NOTE: This version is not currently being worked on, waiting on XAML Islands release for further update***
* This project was re-made into a Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform application a couple years ago when testing with UWP for the first time. It is now being re-made to use the newer framework and controls when free time is available: https://github.com/hjohnson12/NotepadEditorUWP
### Screenshots of WinForms Version
##### Standard design for text editor:
##### Able to open files and display them into the editor:
* Line/Column numbers also show according to where your cursor is selected
##### Able to see an example of the color before you choose it:
* Uses a KnownColor object for the selected color. Once backcolor is set, it converts the color to RGB values and
determines if its considered a lighter or darker color. It then changes the text color accordingly:
* The following is the C# snippet:
```csharp
// fill colors in color drop down list
foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo prop in typeof(Color).GetProperties())
{
if (prop.PropertyType.FullName == "System.Drawing.Color")
{
colorList.Add(prop.Name);
}
}
// fill the drop down items list
foreach(string color in colorList)
{
colorStripDropDownButton.DropDownItems.Add(color);
}
// fill BackColor for each color in the DropDownItems list
for (int i = 0; i < colorStripDropDownButton.DropDownItems.Count; i++)
{
// Create KnownColor object
KnownColor selectedColor;
selectedColor = (KnownColor)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(KnownColor), colorList[i]); // parse to a KnownColor
colorStripDropDownButton.DropDownItems[i].BackColor = Color.FromKnownColor(selectedColor); // set the BackColor to its appropriate list item
// Set the text color depending on if the barkground is darker or lighter
// create Color object
Color col = Color.FromName(colorList[i]);
// 255,255,255 = White and 0,0,0 = Black
// Max sum of RGB values is 765 -> (255 + 255 + 255)
// Middle sum of RGB values is 382 -> (765/2)
// Color is considered darker if its <= 382
// Color is considered lighter if its > 382
sumRGB = ConvertToRGB(col); // get the color objects sum of the RGB value
if (sumRGB <= MIDDLE) // Darker Background
{
colorStripDropDownButton.DropDownItems[i].ForeColor = Color.White; // set to White text
}
else if (sumRGB > MIDDLE) // Lighter Background
{
colorStripDropDownButton.DropDownItems[i].ForeColor = Color.Black; // set to Black text
}
}
```
