Scintilla multiple views

[Hydrate]

Ive been looking at the scintilla documentation, and it would appear in the multiple views section that it allows scintilla to load multiple documents and switch between them.

My issue is that I have no idea how it works, at all, and im wondering if someone could give me some pointers here.

The documentation for Scintilla is below:
http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/Scinti ... rectAccess

[aaaaaaaargh]

Using ts-soft's excellent Scintilla Userlibrary
(available at http://www.ts-soft.eu/dl/scintilla.zip)
you can open several Scintilla Gadgets and work with them as seperate documents or as one document with in a "split view" mode
the example below shows two SCIgadgets that use the same Document

XIncludeFile "SciLexer.pbi"
WindowID = OpenWindow(#PB_Any,px,py,400,400,"Scintilla Test",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_TitleBar)
CreateGadgetList(WindowID(WindowID))
SCIGadget0 = ScintillaGadget(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 380, 180)
DocPointer = SCI_GetDocPointer(SCIGadget0)
SCI_ADDREFDOCUMENT(SCIGadget0,DocPointer)
SCIGadget1 = ScintillaGadget(#PB_Any, 0, 200, 380, 180)
SCI_SetDocPointer(SCIGadget1,DocPointer)
Buffer.s = "Bla "+Chr(10)

For a = 1 To 300
SCI_AppendText(SCIGadget1,Len(Buffer),@Buffer)
Next
Repeat
ev=WaitWindowEvent()
Until ev=#PB_Event_CloseWindow

Hope this helps!
