FF Code Edit Control

[Roger Garstang]

How close are we to a custom control of the FF Code Edit Control?  Or is there some source code that is easy to work with?  I know it is based on some existing control, but has been modified/improved.  I'd like to use an improved version in an inc or code format so I can use it without the need of a DLL.  I want to make a useful PHP editor that isn't too bloated.

I am not sure that I will release the code editor control. I don't like the idea of certain competitors having access to a 100% PB based source code control.

You must be thinking of EDM32 ?? The editor used in FF3 is 100% written by me from scratch. It is nothing like EDM32. It took a long time to write and is not 100% bug free (ie. undo/redo) but a lot of that is because of the complexity that resulted when I added code folding to the editor.

Ah...I see. I may have to look at something like EDM32 after all then.  Would be cool for maybe a simple version that has all the colors static and basic functions like a keyword list, comment processing, line numbers and indent stuff.  No Code folding or any of the spectacular stuff.  Just enough to be better than Notepad and PB's IDE editor.
