ScintillaVB
ScintillaVB also known as Scintilla Visual Basic is an ActiveX Control wrapper for the Scintilla Control. Scintilla is a library written in C++ and available for Windows and Linux which provides full syntax highlighting support including code folding, code tips and autocomplete. ScintillaVB fully supports the Scintilla library including the folding.
Purpose
ScintillaVB is primarily designed for users who wish to add code editing abilities to their programs. This could include a source code editor such as cEdit Professional or it may be to allow editing of an integrated scripting language.
Benefits
Scintilla requires the container element to be subclassed which is somewhat difficult to do in Visual Basic. The ScintillaVB control handles the process of subclassing the ScintillaControl. It takes a large degree of the work out of using the component by providing an integrated options dialog, find dialog, replace dialog and goto dialog. It also has integrated support for code tips, and autocomplete. Code tips can be further supported through the use of the many available API files. These files contain the syntax for major functions found in many programming languages and allow ScintillaVB to provide complete code tips.
