Complier with Notepad++

[Thor]

Hi ...
I generally use DevCPP for my CPP Program compiling. Recently I came across NOTEPAD++
*notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php
I really like this editor... Is there any way to integrate this editor with compilers like MiniGW ?
Notepad++ has inbuilt support for C++ Language Syntax....
Any ideas ?

hello ..... anybody? any suggestions/ideas ?

Nobody has any idea i think...

Awww... How Can it be ? Someone Out here must know something ?

It's too difficult to INTEGRATE a compiler with an "already compiled" editor.

U hav to rebuild / recompile it's source code with some modifications.

Hope u r understanding what I mean!

I dont think its possible..

what compiler r u using , coz there r some IDE's (like code::blocks ) that integrate with most standard compilers .

btw , in my opinion DevC++ sucks , better use Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition , it's much much much better n FREE too

As an IDE i am using Code::Blocks ... its nice, but Notepad++ is even better @ handling the code structures.. expecially the way it highlights the syntaxes, braces etc etc.
I use the MiniGW compiler which comes with Code::blocks,
also tried the Borland's Free Command Line Compiler to integrate with Code::blocks.
I will give Visual express a try...
but stiill by original Q remains...
Anyway to get Notepad++ to work with a compiler ? Coz it already has support for Language syntax highlighting.. C++ and many others...
Thx..

well all u can do is write a batch script[.bat] file to compile the file when it is double clicked , now u can run this batch file from within Notepad++ from the "Run" menu , i've done that for Borland compiler but seriously once u get the taste of Visual C++ u can't settle for somethin less .

btw , man Visual C++ has much more better syntax highlighting , code folding n best opf all it has very very good code completion facility .

OK. I am sold. I am gonna try out Visual C++ Express. I am gonna get back here and then let u kno if i liked it... I will also try out the .bat method too ...
Thx 4 ur input..
