Yes scintilla have support for a really big number of languages including VB. It also has an API to build new "Lexers" for unsupported languages. The highlighting is made by tokens, and you add to any of these tokens the word's list you want. I mean one style can be SCI_VBA_KEYWORD, then you set the color for this token, and use the keyword list of your choice.
How much info do you need to do those cute drop downs for types, how would that get communicated to the widget ?
To show the drop downs is easy,
gchar words[] ="one two three four";
SendMessage(ScintillaObject, SCI_AUTOCSHOW, 0, (sptr_r) words);
You receive the user's choice on a "sci-notify" signal, connected to the
editor widget by g_signal_connect().
The callback template is:
void
on_editor_notification( GtkWidget* editor,gint scn, gpointer lscn,
gpointer user_data)
Then you get all editor signals:
void
on_editor_notification( GtkWidget* editor,gint scn, gpointer lscn,
gpointer user_data)
{
struct SCNotification *nt;
nt = lscn;
switch (nt->nmhdr.code){
case SCN_STYLENEEDED:
case SCN_CHARADDED:
case SCN_MARGINCLICK:
case SCN_USERLISTSELECTION: // autocomplete
}
}
Scintilla for gtk is a widget itself but don't use the normal widget
"API". It uses a message driven interface as the Windows RichTextCtrl as
you've seen in the SendMessage() example.
In the other hand, exists a "porting" of scintilla to the common widget
"API" called GtkScintilla in SourceForge.
Can you give me a feel for how scintilla compares to GtkSourceView ?
Scintilla have been here for a long time and it's far more complete than GtkSourceView. Most editor logic is built in as: auto completion, folding, line numbers, call tips, search & replace, word wrap, etc ... I use it in the http://cssed.sourceforge.net project and I'm really happy with the results. It's easy to manage, low memory consuming, fast and no bugs found in my development. You can check some screenshots at http://cssed.sourceforge.net/screenshot to check how it looks, the folding feature, syntax highlighting, autocompletion, line numbers and margins are built in the controls. Feel free to mail me privately about this regards if it's OT here ( Scintilla is not part of Gtk ;) You can also take code samples from the anjuta project, and cssed project ( Both use scintilla directly, not GtkScintilla). regards -- Iago Rubio http://www.iagorubio.com GPGkey pgp.rediris.es id 0x909BD4DD fingerprint = D18A B950 5F03 BB9A DD89 AA75 FEDF 1978 909B D4DD ********** iago.rubio(AT)hispalinux.es ********** --------------------------------------------------
