Could you attach it as a zip file and not a rar file, I don't have a new enough version of WinZip to open rar files and company policy doesn't let me install WinRar.

The screenshot looks pretty good, have you considered modifying a RichTextBox? RTB's allow words to be different colors. Syntax highlighting...

hey sorry, added a zip file as requested.

At the moment I am using a rich text box but haven't gone into much depth to them was trying to get the main features down

Will look into it thanks

Thanks for the zip file. Well it's a good control, no lag seems to work just fine.

When I created a new project and added the control, I had to fix two things. Turn Option Explicit On and Option Strict On and you'll see them.

Hmm, still seems laggy on my computer...

and yes I noticed the 2 errors re-uploaded a new zip with minor fix CStr()

Edit
Tested on a newer computer seems to run fine until 2000~ lines of code from copy paste
before it dies out and am able to get to 5000~ lines by just holding down enter before it starts to jitter.
