 |
|
I've been considering abusing a Richtext object for syntax highlighting
etc. My biggest problem with such a thing is probably reinventing a wheel.
Are there objects out there that can highlight a specific syntax given a
particular rule set?
Does anyone have a suggestion on this?

SynEdit is a very very great wheel!
But it sleep on my harddisk longer time.
Yes, who know how use the undocument component?

If you want to go that way, have a look at the Robert Dunn's article
"Faster Rich Edit Syntax Highlighting" at
http://home.att.net/%7Erobertdunn/Yacs.html
It's very interesting IMHO.

Personally, I use Scintilla ([url]http://www.scintilla.org/)[/url]. It's not a
component but it's really easy to use with BCB.

Good luck. TRichEdit is not designed for that, so you're not going to
get much in the way of performance out of it.
I have noticed this, kind of frustrating for the unwary.  |

Yes... I suppose I need to also work on generating a new syntax for synedit |
(sigh). So many scripting languages so little time 
Hopefully I can get it to happily work with what I want it too
I'm also looking at using it for an IDE. Thanks for the heads up and
direction. As ussual you having given your wisdom to people and I believe
as ussual it's rather useful to me :)
Thanks for all the responses as well. :)
