Visual C#: k9pad – notepad clone with 9 tabs

I was playing with Visual C# 2015 Community Edition lately and decided to make a simple text editor. I’ve spent a lot of time actually, trying to find how to print, print preview, get the cursor (caret) position etc… Find and Replace were also challenging. The program allows you to drag and drop and if you associate the text file to the EXE, you can double-click on any TXT file and it will be opened in k9pad. There are probably some minor bugs here and there, but it works fine for me… For now. If i see any bugs, I’ll try to fix them (if I don’t move to something more exciting).

git clone http://www.github.com/klimenta/k9pad

or download the source from here or just the executable from EXE. 7zip is required.
