PureBasic Forums - English

Hello people,

I'd appreciate some help in understanding how to use scintilla in PB 6.10 LTS. I'm used to use QScintilla at a beginner's level in Qt5/C++, but have no experience with Scintilla/PureBasic so far. If I understood it correctly, Scintilla is now linked in statically and so InitScintilla() is obsolete and should not be used any longer?

Could somebody please give me a brief overview according to my questions:

• 1. How do I find out which lexers are supported by Scintilla/PB 6.10?

• 2. How do I set a specific lexer?

• 3. How do I set folding/unfolding?

• 4. How do I find out the recent cursor position (line/column)?

• 5. How do I switch between lexers (Let's say I want to be able to change syntax highlighting between HTML and CSS e.g.)?

• 6. Are there prebuild lexers for highlighting PureBasic, FreeBasic, BlitzMax and Hollywood already?

Maybe someone can publish a small example, showing how to use a scintilla lexer?

Thanks for any help and hints!

Thanks, Fred - that link gives me something to work on and think about. Still a bit confused, but steadily trying things out.
Is it really neccessary to open lexilla.dll in order to get the amount of available lexers or set a certain lexer?
