CodeLab 1.9

[Mr X]

Hi!

I had some free time so I made few enchamcements to the CodeLab.

Because I didn't have lots I couldn't make changes to the code editor but I did have enough time to add few UI tricks, better visual styling, TaskDialog and few other things.

I also included one banned 'System.Reflection Hack' to use PdnToolStripRenderer from PaintDotNet.exe in MenuStrip (See /* <UI Hack> */)

If you don't like it just remove it.

I call the result as CodeLab 1.9 Alpha 1 and I am very sure that someone will like it.

I also made some tests an it looks like I didn't break anything.

Here is source:

It's licensed with same license than original CodeLab

Since I'm the current maintainer of CodeLab and fairly active on the forum, you could have just come to be with your requests and suggestions.

BTW, adding a hack like you did will make CodeLab incompatible with Paint.NET 4.0. This would be a horrible idea.

My goal in maintaining CodeLab is to make it more likely to work in Paint.NET 4.0 so there is a smooth transition to the new architecture for the plugin developers.

Not to mention it's specifically prohibited for plugins to do anything like that.

It's fine for your own personal use, but you may not distribute a plugin which does that sort of stuff.
