Hi everyone, I am sure I have your hearts broken with all my questions
about syntax highlighting on this list, but once again I have a
question. A while back someone pointed me towards
http://home.att.net/~robertdunn/Yacs.html which answer a lot of my
questions. So much so that I know have a nice little code editor,
however there is one more thing I would like to add, I can't seem to get
comments to work. In the routines I use for the syntax highlighting I
compare the current word with an array of keywords, once it matches I
perform the syntax highlighting. The problem is that I can't do a
comparison for comments like I do with the keywords. Another thing is
that with the keyword highlighting the keyword is highlighted once the
word has been entered in full, with comments though the highlighting
must continue all the way until the end of the line. Here is the routine
that I am working on, as some of you will see straight away it does not
work as I want. But I believe that bones of it are there, I'm just not
using them right?
Cheers,
Rory

void __fastcall TForm1::RichEdit1Change(TObject *Sender)
{
CHARRANGE text;
RichEdit1->Perform(EM_EXGETSEL, 0, (LPARAM)&text);
//get currentline
int currentline = RichEdit1->Perform(EM_LINEFROMCHAR,
Original.cpMin, 0);

//Get the position of the '//' for comments?
text.cpMin = RichEdit1->Lines->Strings[currentline].AnsiPos("//");
RichEdit1->SelStart =
RichEdit1->Lines->Strings[currentline].AnsiPos("//");

//Get the lenght of the line for the comment?
text.cpMax = RichEdit1->Lines->Strings[currentline].Length();
RichEdit1->SelLength = RichEdit1->Lines->Strings[currentline].Length();

RichEdit1->Perform(EM_EXSETSEL, 0, (LPARAM)&LineSelection);
CHARFORMAT FormatKey;
memset(&FormatKey, 0, sizeof(FormatKey));
FormatKey.cbSize = sizeof(FormatKey);
FormatKey.crTextColor = clBlue;
RichEdit1->Perform(EM_SETCHARFORMAT, SCF_SELECTION,
(LPARAM)&FormatKey);
}

Cheers for the tips, I tried this before but it seems that this, as with
a lot of the other packages around will not build with a 'personal'
edition of BC++ Builder. I'm afraid that purchasing the Professional
version is not an option. It would be great, seen as it's free that I
could build it with a less expensive IDE. Perhaps I'm wrong but each
time I try this it looks for files I don't have? Has anyone out there
had luck building this with the personal edition of BC++? The file it's
looking for is 'sqltimest.dcu'. I tried downloaded the demo of the
professional version and use the library files from there but this
wasn't a great solution. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks again,
Rory.

I just downloaded it again and attempted a clean build. It immediately
asks for these units which are not distributed with the personal
edition:(correct me if I'm wrong...)

dbrtl.bpi
vcldb.bpi

If I try to build without these files I get the error about the
sqltimest.dcu file not being found. If anyone has any ideas please let
me know.

regards,
Rory.

Cheers I took your advice. I had to remove a lot of references to a lot
of libraries and now it compiles and seems to run fine. Fingers crossed,
thanks again,
Rory.
