MaxGUI Scintilla TextArea

[degac]

Hi

I would like to know if there are somewhere some examples about using Scintilla/Textarea in MaxGUI.

I tried to read the MaxIDE code, but too big to read and understand.
Moreover I'm quite sure Scintilla has some interesting feature (like folding) - but I don't know if these are enabled (I didn't found a command about Folding for example and many TextAreaXXXXX commands are not documented in the source code).

Thanks

Dig around in my old editor code:-

https://sourceforge.net/p/bamboobasic/code/ci/master/tree/Editors/Win/Editor/

I had it all working perfectly, though, it was all written donkeys ago so some stuff might of changed... Be warned though, it is a good lump of code!

EDIT: Oh, and if your interested in Linux, then there is Vala code in there that uses Gtk.SourceView, I had that tee'd up canny as well, so well worth a look if your planning on motoring over to that side, see Editors/PI/ Editor/main.vala 

Not as expansive as the Windows one, but, worked out well!

Hi,

I literally just browsed the scintilla folder for the first time so I can't offer superior insight, but what I see from a glance is that scintilla source code seems to be fully included so all the raw functionally is there, but not all functionality have been wrapped (for example SetFoldLevel is missing ). What functions are currently wrapped can be found inside maxgui.mod/maxguitextareascintilla.mod/win32.bmx (for Windows, but are the same in all) 

I did manage to create a scintilla gadget so thats something :-) For folding to work you would need to enable fold-style for default folding behaviour and SetFoldLevel function to set individual lines for custom fold behavior.

Code: BlitzMax

1. Import maxgui.maxguitextareascintilla
2.  
3. Local window:TGadget = CreateWindow("Scintilla", 0, 0, 300, 200, Null, WINDOW_DEFAULT | WINDOW_CENTER)
4. Local g:TGadget = New TWindowsScintillaTextArea.Create(window, 0, "")
5.  
6.  
7. Repeat
8.  
9.         WaitEvent()
10.        
11.         Select EventID()
12.        
13.         Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
14.                 End
15.         EndSelect
16. Forever
17.

Many thanks to both!
I have something to explore now!

Thanks!
