Create WindowStream (C++ / C#)

[denisT.MaxDoctor]

Is there any way to create a new WindowStream value?

C#

just doesn't have constructors for WindowStream or any Create method

C++
according to WindowStream.h there are two constructors:

 class WindowStream : public CharStream
 {
 public:
 	HWND		window;
 	int			cursor;
 	MSTR		title;
 	Listener*	listener;
 	CharStream*	log;
	MCHAR		wputs_buf[512];			// edit control output buffer
	MCHAR*		wputs_p;
	HWND		echo;
 
	// Constructor / Destructor
 				WindowStream(HWND iwin);
 				WindowStream(const MCHAR* title);		/* for background scripts; window with given title will open if output generated */
 			   ~WindowStream();

but neither of the two works...

but MXS:

newScript() 

makes it somehow.

Am I missing something?

Sure, I could execute MXS (string, script) from c# or c++, but that's not the point of the problem. I'm specifically interested in how to make an instance of WindowStream using SDK methods or know at least the way MXS does.

the_listener->edit_stream->window has a class of "MXS_Scintilla"

also...

 // Collectable::flags3 - bit 0 set if WindowStream is wrapping a MXS_Scintilla edit control. If not, standard
 // edit control is assumed

would suggest you have pass a window of class Edit Control (Collectable::flags3 - bit 0 not set) or a MXS_Scintilla edit control (not sure how this would be done) in the constructor with the bit set.

As I understand, this flag is for WindowStream value in case it works with a Scintilla window. I just can't create a new stream as the constructors are not published:

proper lib is included for linking?

sure... it's Maxscrpt.lib ... it's impossible not to include 😁
