Advanced IDE for purebasic (Compiler, Linker, Editor)

Hi Fred
I can you give hints about building an more advanced editor for your PureBASIC product.

Use the CMAX.DLL library for building your editor
I want like to see the next items and options:
The CodeMax Feature Set
CodeMax supports a wide range of features, all of which are available to the user without any extra programming after the control is created:
Color Syntax Highlighting.
Language-specific keywords, comments, and strings are colored differently to set them apart from plain text. Bold, italics, and underline are supported, as well.
·Fully Customizable Keyboard Mappings.
Keystrokes can be added and removed to emulate popular keyboard mappings, like Brief and Epsilon.
Keystroke Macros. Users can record a series of keystrokes and assign a keystroke to play back the keystrokes repeatedly. Up to 10 macros may be recorded.
Drag and Drop Text Manipulation. Highlighted text can be dragged and dropped between any window supporting OLE text Drag and Drop. Text may be copied or moved.
Multiple Split Views. Users can create up to four separate views of the same edit buffer. Each view can be scrolled independently.
Unlimited Undo/Redo. All edit actions are fully undoable and redoable. A limit can be set on the number of edit actions that may be undone.
Custom Margin Images. Define a list of custom images and display one or more of them to the left of any line. Great for applications that use CodeMax as a debugger.
Per-Line Item Data. Cache application-specific data in any line in the buffer.
Regular Expression Searching. Perform regular expression searching and replacing using standard Gnu regular expressions.
Auto Indentation. Once a language is chosen, as the user enters code, CodeMax will automatically indent lines to following the scoping rules of the language.
Built-In File Support. Saving, Loading, and Inserting of files is easily achieved by sending a single message to a CodeMax window.
Clipboard Support. Text can be cut, copied and pasted onto the clipboard using the right-click menu or a keystroke.
Built-In Support for C/C++, Java, SQL, Pascal, and Basic. A CodeMax control is already aware of five of the most popular language without any additional programming required.
Support for Custom Languages. If CodeMax does not support a specific language, you can register a language by sending a single message. Once registered, all language-related features are fully function with the new language.
Column Selection and Manipulation. Columns of text can be selected with the mouse and then manipulated. Empty columns (columns with a width of zero characters) can be selected, causing subsequent typing and deletion to occur over multiple lines at the same time.
Custom Color Settings. All foreground and background colors used in a CodeMax control can be configured with a single CodeMax message. Users can also configure colors with the built-in window properties dialog.
Built-In Window Properties Dialog. Most properties, including keyboard assignments, colors, current language, and tab settings are available to the user in a tabbed dialog available from the built-in right-click menu or a keystroke (Alt+Enter). This dialog can be easily disabled and/or overriden by the parent window.
Built-In Right Click Menu. A set of commonly used commands are available from a default right-click menu. The right-click menu can be easily disabled and/or overriden by the parent window.
Microsoft IntelliMouse Support. Scrolling, word selection, and line selection is easily accomplished with the Microsoft IntelliMouse.
Over 130 Separate Edit Commands. More than 120 separate edit commands can be assigned to a keystroke and invoked by the user.
Line Numbering. Lines can be numbered using any radix and the first line may start with any positive number.
Keyword Case Normalization. Keywords can be converted to the proper case once a line is entered.
Built-in Printing Support. The contents of the edit buffer may be printed in color or black and white.
Line Highlighting. A single line may be highlighted a specific color. This is useful for showing the currently executing line in applications that use CodeMax as a debugger.
Horizontal Line Dividers. Each line may have a line underneath it to separate functions or other groupings of text.
Custom Line Drawing (DLL version only). The parent window can optionally request that specific lines are ‘owner-draw’ and then be notified when the line(s) need to be drawn.
Selection Bounding. The text caret can optionally be confined to the bounds of the text. If enabled, when the user clicks on ‘virtual’ space to the right of text, the caret will be placed at the end of the line clicked on.
This is the vendor but it's broken

Fred I send your an copy of this library, there also an static library LIB
I hope that have this interesting
