I can't get the syntax highlighting to work with the compiled example for windows. It runs fine and it loads files but there is no coloring nor can I make a selection. Also all the crlf appear as a square at the end of each line.
Darren -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Hodgson Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 4:00 PM To: Discussion of the Scintilla editing component Subject: [scintilla] SinkWorld 6 A new release of SinkWorld is available from SourceForge. The files can be accessed through http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/Tentacle.html The biggest advance in this version is a more complex restyling technique. In Scintilla, when the text is styled to line 1000 and a change is made on line 10, then the styled area is reduced to before line 10 abandoning much work. An attempt is made to avoid redrawing after the modification but sometimes this does not work. An additional problem is that Scintilla does not look at changes in the extra information stored in LineState when working out the extent of a change. In SinkWorld, a modification first creates a hole in the styled area. The hole is then restyled with all the active lexers and if the end of the hole changes style in any of its style buffers or extra (history) information then the styled area is reduced and more restyling will be done later. SinkWorld has functions for drawing translucent polygons and there is a new RoundedBox decoration that uses this feature. You can set the alpha (transparency) value to between 0 (transparent) and 255 (opaque) and the transparency of the outline of the box can be set with the alphaoutline value. To avoid needing too many lines in mode files structured values can be specified surrounded with '{' and '}' so a rounded box decoration may look like KeyWord:bold=0,decoration={type=RoundedBox,fore=#0000FF,alpha=10,alphaoutlin e=20} Translucent drawing is slower than opaque drawing. On GTK+ the code moves bits around more than appears strictly necessary so GTK+ experts may be able to improve the code. Translucency was much easier to achieve for Java and C# as their graphics libraries support alpha. There is another visual improvement with the box facet intended to be a different way of indicating the selection or other multi-line features. There are still a couple of problems with this: it doesn't handle horizontal scrolling and only one box can be drawn in a window. Both translucency and the box feature are visible in http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/Boxes.png Translucency on GTK+ http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/alphaspell.png Neil _______________________________________________ Scintilla-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scintilla-interest _______________________________________________ Scintilla-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scintilla-interest
