I have managed to get it working, by adding this function:
function DoFindMatchingBracePosition(editor)
local length = editor.Length;
if (length == 0) then
return -1,-1
end
local pos = editor.CurrentPos;
if (pos > 0) and (editor:PositionBefore(pos)==(pos-1)) then
local prevc = editor:GetCharAt(pos-1);
if (prevc == 91) or (prevc == 93) or (prevc == 123)
or (prevc == 125) or (prevc == 40) or (prevc == 41) then
return pos-1, editor:BraceMatch(pos-1);
end
end
if (pos < length) and (editor:PositionAfter(pos)==(pos+1)) then
local nextc = editor:GetCharAt(pos);
if (nextc == 91) or (nextc == 93) or (nextc == 123)
or (nextc == 125) or (nextc == 40) or (nextc == 41) then
return pos, editor:BraceMatch(pos);
end
end
return -1,-1
end
...and modifying the UPDATE_UI event handler to this:
editor:Connect(wxstc.wxEVT_STC_UPDATEUI,
function (event)
UpdateStatusText(editor)
local braceAtCaret,braceOpposite =
DoFindMatchingBracePosition(editor)
if (braceAtCaret > -1) and (braceOpposite == -1) then
editor:BraceBadLight(braceAtCaret)
editor:SetHighlightGuide(0)
else
editor:BraceHighlight(braceAtCaret, braceOpposite)
end
end)
Thanks again for your help.
