1) What is the difference between a lexer and a property file?
Lexer is a program that splits text into lexical elements such as keywords, operators and string literals. Scintilla uses different lexers for recognizing computer languages with different syntax. A property file is just a configuration file.
2) Can anyone give my reasons why I should make my own text editor based on the control in stead of using SciTE?
a) you have a lot of free time and don't know what to do with it b) you want a program that is everything but a good text editor
Are there any limitations to the SciTE
SciTE is good for editing plain text files. It's not a file manager, FTP client, etc. Some people think it's a limitation of SciTE, but they are wrong.
