RichEdit Syntax Coloring
« on: January 07, 2020, 07:29:47 PM »
I know Scintilla (Notepad++, CodeBlocks...), Monaco (Microsoft), but that's all.
But they are in C++ !

I wonder how to do to syntax coloring with RichEdit. Is there an other solution rather than subclassing?
What do you use Mr Pelle in your IDE ?

Since it's a RichEdit control, you can set the colours for each character via EM_SETCHARFORMAT. Works perfectly :)

I use my own code.

With the Pelles C Setup you can optionally install source code of samples for the Add-In SDK.
The two samples CppFile (for the C++ language) and JsonFile (for the JSON language) demonstrates parsing of these two languages.
Other languages can be parsed in a similar way.

Basically, the samples parse one source line at the time, filling an array with positions where a new color is needed (and which color it is).
Once you have this array, printing this source line, or updating a RichEdit control, shouldn't be too complicated I think...

Thank You.


I will investigate. The syntax color is the only thing that it is missing, for me.

This might be of help for those experimenting with EM_SETCHARFORMAT...
