wxStyledTextCtr l - Dead?

I have several questions about wxStyledTextCtr l:

1) Is it still being maintained?

2) Where are the docs and tutorials?

3) Is it wxStyledTextCtr l, wx.StyledTextCt rl, StyledTextCtrl, or... ?

4) Is there an alternative?

The wxPython Demo
(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w...2.6.3.2.tar.gz)
still contains the wxStyledTextCtr l:

wx.stc.StyledTe xtCtrl

The demo is probably also a good example of how to use
wxStyledTextCtr l.

Basic information can be found on
http://www.yellowbrain.com/stc/init_repr.html

Regards.

I don't know the answers to 1 and 2, but from the demo I know that the
answer to 3 is wx.stc.StyledTe xtControl.

As for 4, I guess it depends on what you want to do. StyledTextContr ol
looked pretty scary to me, and for my application I mainly needed to
display styled text, not edit it, so I embedded a web browser window
and used HTML+CSS (and even a little JavaScript now). That worked quite
nicely.

If you need to edit the text as well, then I don't know. The rich edit
control (TextCtrl with style wx.TE_RICH2) is one option, but it is not
particularly nice to use.

I am trying to make a programmer's editor (and later a full IDE), and I
want things like syntax highlighting etc. I could of course roll my own
fancy editing control, but if STC could solve my problem and is flexible
enough, then I'll use that for now :)

There are at least two (that I know of) editors written in Python and
based on the STC. Going from memory, PyPE is one, and the other is ...
um... well, it's too early in the morning to recall but I'm sure it
wouldn't be hard to find. Full source is available for either and while
rolling your own anything is fun and educational, I think both of these
are simple enough that you'd probably prefer to stand on their authors'
shoulders, or at least learn from the code first.

No, it's not hard. :)

Hi, I want to use the wxStyledTextCtrl to open a huge ascii file, see almost 10MB. After I set the wrap mode, i.e. set to wxSTC_WRAP_WORD, the open and resize of the wxStyledTextCtrl will be much slow. Any idea to resolve this issue?

I have a wierd thing with a little editor app I'm writing. I'm using wxStyledTextCtrl ; the wrapper for Scintilla. When I create the frame in wxPython, I use self.Editor.SetFocus() to put the focus initially on the editor. This works fine. Odd thing is though, switching back and forwards between applications alternately hides and reappears the caret.

Hello community, I want to create an editor for a self defined xml markup language. I want to use wxpython with wxstyledtextctrl and I have looked around at yellowbrain site, but there are no examples. I also watched the styledtextctrl examples with wxpython 2.8.4. What I am looking for is an example of how to do the autocompletion part for the styledtextctrl based on my self defined XML language.

Does anyone have a pythonic way to check if a process is dead, given the pid? This is the function I'm using is quite OS dependent. A good candidate might be "try: kill(pid)", since it throws an exception if the pid is dead, but that sends a signal which might interfere with the process. Thanks. --Buck
