Phil,
Thanks for the response. I started to look into going down that path,
and quickly found myself feeling like after I make a copy of lexCPP with
a new name, I need to rebuild QScintilla with that new file it it, and
then add new constants to several of the other files in QScintilla,
(SCLEX_XXX, SCLEX_XXNOCASE), and make other modifications as well. This
starts feeling like I may be doing more then I need to to do this.
If there is a way you could point me toward some doc that talks about
this? Or perhaps if there is no specific doc, maybe you could create a
short list with points like 1) Copy LexCPP.cpp, 2) Add SCLEX_XXX
contstants, 3) whatever I should be thinking about next.
The implication of your 'the first thing to do is copy LexCPP.cpp is
that there are second, third, and more things, and maybe a quick list of
those things might be enough to get me up and running.
One thing I tried doing was removing the other lexers, as I don't think
I need them, but please let me know if this is unnecessary.
Thanks for your help,
-Steve

Hi,
I'm trying to build a custom lexer that is very closely based on the
QSciLexerCPP class. I started by thinking that I could just make a
descendent of that class, and override methods in it to add my desired
behaviors/keywords/etc. But when I tried to do this, I quickly
realized that the desired methods that I wanted to override were not
virtual. (For example, I wanted to add a new style, and tried to
override DefaultColor to give it a default.)
The syntax is really very close to QSciLexerCPP with just a few
changes. If someone could let me know what the recommended method to
do this would be, I would appreciate it. (One option that occurs to
me, is just to copy the entire code of the QSciLeverCpp object, and
perhaps this would be OK, but if I am missing something, I would
appreciate hearing about it.)
The QsciLexer classes are only containers for the configuration of the
underlying Scintilla lexers. If you want a new lexer similar to the
CPP lexer then the first thing to do is copy LexCPP.cpp.
Phil
