EditC is a memo editor designed for PocketC . It is an enhanced version of the original Memo Pad application. EditC Doc has the same edit features as EditC, but for doc files.
Registration will cost $5.

The main advantage of EditC is that you can quickly insert PocketC functions by choosing the correct categories. You can choose from PocketC, CControls and PToolboxLib functions. The cursor will automatically be placed between the brackets on functions which require parameters. The popup list of selectable functions will show quick information on the parameters. A function will be shown like this: function(i, s, f, c), where i = int, s = string, p = pointer, f = float and c = char. There is a reference feature for showing more information about a function. Installation of PktCReference.pdb is required for this feature.
Language specific keywords like "while" and "if" statements can also be inserted.

EditC and EditC Doc don't have a memo 4k limit, they support a maximum of 32000 characters. However, large memos are splitted after synchronization. A warning will be shown if a memo is larger than 4096 characters.

There is a line number indication in the Edit view (see section 4. User guide), you can also jump to a specific line using the goto line dialog.

1. Main category selection
   Shows the currently selected main category. Can be toggled by pressing "left" on a 5-way navigator. You can choose from:
   -built-in, default PocketC functions
   -Language, keywords of the PocketC language.
   - CControls
   - PToolboxLib , including the Fctl commands.

   Popups a list of functions in the current category. Can be toggled by pressing "select" on a 5-way navigator. The list is sorted automatically. To quickly select a function, write the first few letters in the graffiti area. To matching function (or closest match) will be selected.
4. Function bookmarks
   A list showing the functions in your application will be popped up. Selecting a function will take the cursor to that function. If the functions in the memo don't have matching '{' and '}' characters, the list will not show all functions or will not show up at all.
