2002 GR Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hello, i recently discovered Autoit, i think its a great tool, i'm a hobby programmer. I need your advise and guide. I want to make a simple text editor with syntax highlight colors on specific keywords. The editor is almost ready but i'm having problems with colors. Can this be done in Autoit ? Please can you tell me some information about how to do this ? Thanks in advance, sorry for my bad English. :"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might avoid reinventing the wheel.If you are determined to do it from scratch, what do have so far? Have you written your basic GUI yet? Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Unfortunately Nathan has closed down his website, but you may be able to find CodeSense onone of the omnibus download sites.cheers, jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
