Visual BasiEgaXorz

[Tulio Adriano]

How many of you are waiting anxously to know what happens in Devster world?

I myself have been waiting for almost 2 or 3 years (can't count) for the new release of BEX. I wonder if Devster is creating a Visual BasiEgaXorz or something that will take so much time...

Meanwhile I have some questions to the Dev Pimp:

How did you implement code coloring in BEX IDE? I am writing an editor for TRPG scripts, and it hell hard to do all manually using the RichTextBox.

Is there any special trick?

Thanks...

You can't do syntax highligthing on a standard RichTextBox control (unless you want a world full of pain), instead, there are lots and lots of controls that can do it. Look at VBAccelerator for samples, or try to get the Developer's Pad sourcecode (an old VB texteditor with lots of cool features).
