Hello, i have some questions or features about scintilla, just following Visual Basic Wrapper :)

We are in the SciTE mailing list, but why not...

1. Why doesn't integrate scite properties file to scintilla?
I have used scitilla to make a tiny editor, i find it so hard to implement auto indent, auto complete, why doesn't move scite properties files support code to scintilla?

I don't see the connection between auto indent and properties files...
Note that Scintilla includes PropSet.h/cxx too.

Add some functions like: ReadPropertiesFile(...), GetSupportFileList(...), LoadScheme(...)

Scintilla carefully avoids to access file I/O, and IMHO it should remain like this. It is the responsibility of the client to read files and feed Scintilla with its content.

2. Add a hex edit mode in scitilla?
   As a powerful editor, hex is needed.

Already asked a long, long time ago, and rejected because it is out of the scope of the source code editor.
While I would find it convenient, I must agree with the rejection cause.
It just doesn't fit in the existing code/storage structure.
Using an external hex viewer isn't so bad...

3. Add some interface/code for Visual Assist X to parsing .c/.cpp files?
Also ctags do some excellent job, but i think if scitilla export some interface(mayer have done), it will be more convenient.

I don't understand what you mean by "export some interface".
I don't know Visual Assist X, what is it?
Why should Scintilla interface to a particular program?
Why should it be restricted to C/CPP? It is language agnostic and should remain this way.
