You should be able to copy the entire class TSourceLazSynSurfaceManager
= class(TLazSynSurfaceManager)
(It is in the IDE, but check the svn logs / blame, if no one else but me
changed it then consider it lgpl+except)
TopLineCount sets how much space you get on top.
TSourceLazSynSurfaceManager(FPaintArea).ExtraManager.DisplayView
set a source for the text you want to paint. If you do NOT forward to
the textbuffer, then it will not come via the highlighter, and be
highlightfree. But you can add your own.

Is there a preferred way of putting a column ruler above the text in
a synedit, either (two lines) marking columns or (one line) marking
tab positions?
I've previously done this for a file viewer oriented towards large
files with columnar text (e.g. database query output) by having two
synedits on the same form, but since the ruler doesn't really want
line numbers keeping the two lined up was not entirely reliable.
Look at ide/SourceSynEditor.pp
constructor TIDESynEditor.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
....
FPaintArea := TSourceLazSynSurfaceManager.Create(Self, FPaintArea);
It wraps the original paint area object, and reduces its size, then
placing a new paintarea for its own purpose on top.
In this example the size is variable. For your case it would be
fixed, so it should be easier.
Thanks Martin, I'll investigate.
