Can anyone suggest an easy and efficient way to perform syntax highlighting in a TMemo or a richedit, whichever is best. Basically all I need to know is how to change the color of only a small portion of the text. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. regards, Rory.

Personally, I wouldn't bother re-inventing the wheel and would download synedit from http://synedit.sourceforge.net/ It's free and very well supported. However, if you do want to do it the hard way, look at http://home.att.net/~robertdunn/Yacs.html for some hints. There is a whitepaper on doing syntax hilighting.

The only advantage to doing it the hard way is that I learn how to it in the first place. cheers, Rory.

Well, if you want to do it the hard way, try a TRichEdit and look for "SelAttributes" in the help file. Regards, Dirk.

I tried the SynEdit that was mentioned but it won't install for me. I am using a personal edition of C++ Builder and I am missing a few of the libraries needed. I was able to use some libraries that I had left over on a demo install of C++ Builder Pro but I still get a missing file error, 'VCLEditors.dcu'? I don't have it anywhere on my disk. After seeing the hard way to do syntax highlighting it would be great to get this going. I realise that this should be directed to the developers of SynEdit but perhaps someone here has had this problem before, here is the latest error: [Pascal Fatal Error] SynEditPropertyReg.pas(63): File not found: 'VCLEditors.dcu' Rory.

I can only find that file in BCB6 (I also have BCB5 and BCB3 installed) and it is in the CBuilder6SourceToolsapi directory. I'm sure that isn't in the Personal Edition nor would it be in the Demo version. Sorry, Jim Dodd Onset Computer Corp.

If you have some trivial (rules) to parse and highlight than use TRichEdit and look at: http://thunder.prohosting.com/~cbdn/a_syn.htm -- Best regards, Vladimir Stefanovic Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 7:09 pm    Post subject: Re: Syntax highlighting?

I'm sure that isn't in the Personal Edition nor would it be in the Demo version. I'm sure it would be avaiable, since it is the library for the VCLEditors.hpp file, which is used for writing design-time component/property editors. I would be very surprised if the Personal edition does not allow the user to write custom components.
