I've looked online for a while but haven't found a whole lot of really
good resources for this, so I'm hoping that maybe someone here can
point me in the right direction. I'm working with a 3rd party
application that allows users to create customizable files within
certain syntax rules. There isn't, however, a good editor for these
files (users end up using Notepad, I guess) and I would like to create
one...most likely using Visual Studio. I considered just adding syntax
highlighting thru an existing text editor but I would like my final app
to have additional functionality and I'm not sure that I could bundle
the customized text editor with the other features that I wish to
incorporate. I'm already familiar with C# specifically and the .NET
Framework in general, so I'm looking at Microsoft's tool suite as a
starting point.
Does anyone have any insights to share? Any ideas on where I might read
more about this sort of thing? Am I recreating the wheel here? Any and
all constructive suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for
your time!
p.s. - I already posted this question in another .NET group here but
I'm reposting here since it appears the other forum appears to be
overloaded with spam. Sorry for the double-posting.

Check out Textpad. http://www.textpad.com. It's a customizable
text editor by file type.

Thanks for both of the links! I think Notepad++ is more in line with my
intentions but I really was looking to embed a text editor within a
larger app. As a short term solution, I'm going to look at using
Notepad++ but its source component - Scintilla - looks interesting,
too.
In any event, thanks for your advice!

Hello,
Sorry to be bringing up what seems to be a somewhat beaten up topic...
This is what I wanted to do:
Create a _simple_ text editor widget which supports VI(M) style
keybindings but works with arbitrary fonts/unicode characters. Vi(m)
unfortunately, does not support Devanagari (or proportional fonts) and
it looks like it will take quite some time for these things to work. As

I started writing this list because I wanted to have definite points
to base a comparison on and as the starting point of writing something
myself. After looking around, I think it would be a waste of time to
start writing yet another IDE and so am now thinking in terms of new

Right now I mostly use Komodo Personal and it's pretty close to being
what I want. They don't currently support plug-ins,...

I know there's a request for a good IDE at least once a week on the ng,
but hopefully this question is a little different. I'm looking for
suggestions for a good cross-platform text editor (which the features

all the fancy jazz (GUI developer, UML diagrams, etc.).
Ideally, it would be something I could even put on a flash drive and
move from computer to computer, but...

Ok, I know it's been asked a million times, but I have a more specific
question so hopefully this won't be just the same old post. I've tried a
few different editors, and I really like UltraEdit, but it's
Windows-only and I'm working more on Linux nowadays.
Here are my criteria:
1. syntax highlighting (highly customizable)
2. auto/smart indenting
3. ability to run script

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
