2Freak : SyntaxHilighting.dll is very usefull ; could you also provide a static alternative, so that we don't need a DLL ?

You could use the LoadDllMemory library from PBOSL...

I know, but it's only a workaround.
And it does not work with all DLLs (SyntaxHilighting.dll not tested).

You can use the memorymodule.lib from my includepack. Is the same as in
PBOSL, but as static lib. Works with SyntaxHilighting.dl

Thanks Thomas, I know this too. I am glad it works, but I would like a 'real' SyntaxHilighting static library.

I do not remember wich DLL it was, it tested some, maybe BASS or BASSMOD ?

PB does not create static libs from PB code so i can only provide a dll, sorry.

btw, the idea was that tools should load the dll directly from the user's PB directory.
This way they always get the up to date version of the dll (when keywords are added etc).
Using a static library would defeat that purpose.

I did not know it was written in PB, sorry.
Maybe a new feature for PB4.20 ? Some other basic compilers can compile to lib.

Yes, that's what my tools do.
Maybe you could post (or include a readme in the SDK) a reliable method to get the PB directory when PB 4.10 final comes out, because this is not very well documented (and now that Vista and UAP are out ...).
Thanks.

I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

I can post some code to locate the PB dir in the comming days (no access to the files right now)
