OK this is getting frustrating now...

>>The point was that the code used to show how the highlighting would

Go into Delphi (D5 assumed).  Select Tools | Editor Options.  Select the
color tab.  Look at the code used to illustrate how the highlighting will
work.  The point is that they couldn't even be bothered writing there own
snippet of code to illustrate the different highlights that would be
applied.  Nothing earth shattering...  Same event names as well...
Similar/same property names.  Does VB have similar/same event and property
names as Delphi.  I've never used it.

I have never mentioned a single thing about copyrights in any of my
messages.  Anyway how would I know what Borland's 'highlighter' code looks
like considering I don't work for them.  Since I mentioned it, I would
think that I know what SynEdit is and what it was previously called and
even why the original author stopped developing it.
