I need help with scintilla!!

[dz32]

You don’t necessarily need to use the highlighter files, you can code the settings directly in from vb which makes it easier to experiment with.

Whatever your highlighting though you need to set the proper lexer which is written in c++ and compiled into scintinilla. These can be optionally compiled in so not every dll will have all of them. The lexer is what understands the rules of the programming language like what is a comment etc.

Here is an example of manually applying the settings:

Some typical lexers are

Enum sci_lexers
    SCLEX_NONE = 0
    SCLEX_CPP = 3
    SCLEX_HTML = 4
    SCLEX_XML = 5
    SCLEX_SQL = 7
    SCLEX_VB = 8
    SCLEX_Asasm = 9
    SCLEX_ASM = 34
    SCLEX_CPPNOCASE = 35
    SCLEX_PHPSCRIPT = 69
End Enum
