Hi All,

Here is a basic and a plus version of an commentbox to make/take notes in your projects.
To be used at designtime and will be ignored when published.
Hope you will find it useful.

I've tried this but it doesn't show the comments in the workspace.
The only way to see the comments is to look at the extension's props entry which isn't very handy.
The background, border and font/colour/size should be changeable, imho.
The extension should be able to be hidden but I don't think this is possible with an extension at design time.
Sorry to be so critical but thanks for having a go.

It isn't meant to be seen live rendered.
Then you could simply use an htmltextbox object

I know that but it doesn't show at design time on my PC.
Do the comments show on your PC?

@haakoo is this a custom written script by ypurself or have you used an w=external script? If it is the later can you please provide a url to the script authors page/site can you also say the terms of use.

This is simply an extension that you can open its properties by double clicking and seeing what you have typed. You close it by simply closing the properties dialog box, you open it by opening the properties dialog box.

Too much work. I'll just keep using a text object named "notes" on my master frame, and select "Do Not Publish", and uncheck "Show" when I want it out of my way.

Basic box is just to write down code in textformat to keep on your page as a single non published object
Plus box can hold more then just txt.
Questions in other threads were about a way to hold notes/comments within the wbs file or page,these objects are just doing that.
See it as a startup for a different way to tackle this.
And to show that the extension builder doesn't have to be used for only publishing objects but also for designtime objects.
H**l ,i even have an extension for only the javascript start and end tags :-)

For those who want to use it,use it
