TextNoteEx - edit or delete via DDE

I'm using an external script to drive DPlot, adding user selected data to add curves one at a time. I'd like to be able to put a note on the plot, but edit it every time a new curve is generated. Alternatively, an existing note could be deleted and a new one generated. Is there a way to do this? I can't find any existing command in the manual that will allow me to edit or delete an existing note. Thanks.

Good catch. No, there is currently no way to programmatically delete an existing note. I'll add a DeleteNote(index) command in the next release. This will rely on you knowing the order of the notes.

Wow; deja vu. Didn't we have this conversation before? :lol:

Richard, you've been here long enough to know I do well to remember my name sometimes, much less what we discussed years ago! In any case [DeleteNote(index)] will definitely be in the next release.

No problem. I was just amused when I read this because it sounded so familiar. Looking up the original thread, I did say myself that there was no hurry.... And apparently no one else missed the feature much 'til now.

Anyway, I'm certainly not going to complain about where it ended up on the priority list - you've done a lot of great work with your "free time" in the intervening years. - R
