This is the main component, full syntax highlighting etc..

Derives from the TScintillaMemo class.

Many languages can be syntaxed with the same lexer, if the languagestructure is the
same, but the keywords/styles can be different. For example, C/C++ and Resources
(.RC) files can use the same lexer.

You can define your own languages based on the lexers in SciLexer.dll, with your own
styles and keywords for each language.

In the designer, right click on a Scintilla control placed on the form and rightclick
Select predefined languages to get a dialog that allows you to select what predefined
languages you'd like to use. Or you can add your own manually (you may need to know
what style-/keylistnumber is for what, but that info is available in the SciLexer.h/.iface file
from the Scintilla Project).

0.20+:You can also load a different .styles file to select from other predefined languages.
You can create a .styles file by adding and defining the languages the normal way, and then
save them from the IDE, or in MyEdit..

These are the languages I've defined as a startingpoint:

C/C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Resources (.RC), IDL/ODL, Delphi Pascal, Visual Basic,
VBScript, Python,Ruby, CSS, Perl, HTML, XML, MYSQL/SQL, TCL/TK,
Batch files, Ini/Properties files, Makefiles, Diffs, Apache Config, LUA,
WML, ADA, Lisp, Scheme, MMixal, LaTeX, AutoIt 3, VHDL, ASN1 and more.

These definitions are available for selection in the designer only, i.e only the languages you
select/define becomes part of the executable. All styles are based on a black
background, but it's easy to customize the styles.

Add new languages yourself if you wish (based on the lexers in the SciLexer.dll) easy,
all work can be done within the Delphi/C++ Builder at designtime, or you can add
them at runtime if you wish.

All languagestyles/keywords etc can also be modified at runtime if you want to.

Some has requested a Filter property in SciLanguageManager to define what language
has what extension.. This isn't added yet, but TExtensionMapper (not a component)
has a similar function. It can accept multiple extensions for each language by adding
something like this to your code:

ExtMapper.Add(".c;.cpp;.cxx;.hpp;.h","C++/C");

This assigns those extensions to the C++/C language.

Then use this to detect/assign the proper language when you need it:
Scintilla1.LanguageManager.SelectedLanguage:=ExtMapper.DetectLanguage(".cpp");
or for v0.50:
Scintilla1.SelectedLanguage:=ExtMapper.DetectLanguage(".cpp");

Manages abbrevations/templates a user can expand to whatever you want..
Starting with version 0.17 this supports TemplateMacros and inclusion of other templates
inside another which in it's turn can include other templates.
i.e define the words like
this:
bracesinternal={\n\t|\n}
main=void main(int argc, char** argv)<^bracesinternal>

This will, when ExpandAbbrev is called, expand the word main to the template function
main, the main function in turn will expand the bracesinternal reference to:
{

}
so that the result will be:
void main(int argc, char** argv){

}

in the connected TScintillaMemo derived editor..

The predefined templatemacros is ^Prompt and ^Row for now, but a OnTemplateMacro
event is exposed to allow you to define more builtin templates, which in turn can be used
in the abbrevations/templates ..

TBX version of TSciSearchReplace.

This component requires correctly installed Toolbar 2000, TBX 2.1beta, and mbTBXLib and is in a package of its own.. i.e the requirements above is ONLY for this one component, and not the others.
