What's Involved ? Making my own HTML Editor

[tkruk]

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right
direction. I was wondering about making my own HTML
editor but not sure how to go about doing colors for keywords?

Would I have to create an engine of some kind to do that?
or use RichEdit... Anyone?

Thanks

Tom

Im working in some WYSIWYG web editor, are trying to do something like that or a text editor?

[tkruk]

Yeah

Not a WYSIWYG editor but a text editor that would let me define
colors for tags.

My profession is web developer and I am currently using
HomeSite but I think the product will die soon thanks to MacroMedia
and Dreamweaver so I want to make my own!

You have 2 ways:

Use some dll (like Scintilla) or try to do it by RichEdit.

I work once with RichEdit abour Syntaxis Higlight and put some snippet here in the forum, its not to difficult if you take your time to do it in the right way. HTML is easy because everything is inside <>.

Take a look for my example (and maybe someone elses put something) that let you highlight syntaxis on RichEdit.

If you have to do some HTML+JS, my vote goes to TextPad. DW sucks (and I've been coding web pages for a loooong time).

Any wysiwyg editor is good for html, but i do like dreamweaver, and i must admit there is nothing like learning and knowing html, so you can code using a text editor, purely for control.

Personally i still use DWv3.0, i h8 DW MX
