Scintilla, static, and with full features

After some wrangling with InitScintilla(), I found that it does not permit changing of standard Scintilla lexers. I do not know if this is a bug, or the version is merely limited. Using InitScintillaStaticFull(), the feature started working. I also had success with OpenLibrary:
OpenLibrary(#PB_Any, "SciLexer.dll")
Unfortunately, I cannot use InitScintillaStaticFull() since it is not "sustainable". (i.e. part of the compiler, or open source.)
I would like to request a full version of Scintilla (with and without the lexers), with Native PB commands, statically linked for all OS's.
BTW, I am currently using Win7, 32-bit, in case it is a bug.
Thank you!

This is the code that demonstrates that it is either a bug or a missing feature:
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 90, "ScintillaGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
If InitScintilla() ; change to InitScintillaStaticFull() and it works.
ScintillaGadget(0, 10, 10, 300, 70, #Null)
Debug ScintillaSendMessage(0, #SCI_GETLEXER)
ScintillaSendMessage(0, #SCI_SETLEXER, #SCLEX_CPP, 0)
Debug ScintillaSendMessage(0, #SCI_GETLEXER)
; Output set to red color
ScintillaSendMessage(0, #SCI_STYLESETFORE, 0, RGB(255, 0, 0))
; Set the initial text to the ScintillaGadget
ScintillaSendMessage(0, #SCI_SETTEXT, 0, @"This is a simple ScintillaGadget with text...")
; Adding a second line of text with linebreak before
Text$ = Chr(10) + "Second line"
ScintillaSendMessage(0, #SCI_APPENDTEXT, Len(Text$), @Text$)
EndIf
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Yes, exactly. And that is why I am requesting it from PB; so it can be a native part of PB.
I cannot use gnozals libs, because they are not properly sustainable. They are not open source, they are not on all platforms, and they are not as "reliable" as PB from a longevity standpoint. For me to use a library, it must meet that criteria.
It is out of no disrespect to gnozal, but if he gets hit by a bus, or catches the C flu, then the lib gets frozen in time, with no more bugfixes, no more updates, etc.
I stated this all in my original post, so I guess I do not understand what your "ahem" was about. I merely used his library to demonstrate how the lexers are lacking in PB's library. As it is, I have to use a DLL within Windows, and when I begin porting the project to Linux and Mac, it seems safe to presume the missing features will still be missing.

Sure, for windows. But not Mac or Linux...

Plus that userlib is not 64bit so it's no good for modern OSes
I give a +1 to this request.
