Is there an ocx/dll that creates a text box that behaves like the VB IDE ?

[bspmf]

Greetings ...

Is there an ocx or dll that can recreate the effect of the Visual Basic IDE, the effect of coloring identified keywords and intellisense on CTRL+Space events ?? Maby there is an SDK or a method that uses Visual Studio libraries. Anybody with a suggesstion ???

Thanks.

Use the RichEdit box

The RichEdit or RichTextBox control ??? Is there a RichEdit ocx ??? Where can I obtain this control ???

I have used the RichTextBox control (with the .find and Replace() methods) to do this but with large volumes of text it flickers and it get's very slow.

Try validating as text is entered into the box instead of checking the whole thing everytime

True ... One of my thoughts at first but what about when one pastes text from other programs. Surely it would be the same problem ... But where can I get this RichEdit ocx ???

RichEdit is the official name for the RichTextBox, just like Edit is the official name for a TextBox. so in other words, a RichEdit control and a RichTextbox are the same thing.

I Developed Syntax Coloring Using The RichTextBox Control. But Nothing Happened When Applying Color Changes. It Was Superb. For Details EMail Me.

See this topic where I posted an example.
