Hi guys,
Been working with this for a couple weeks now, have a nice editor with keyword highlighting and calltips working. I was looking to move into syntax error catching now. So I am trying a brute force method of looking at the entire text every time a CharAdded event happens. I separate the text by lines and check the syntax of each line.
This all ties into my discussion topic. I want to limit the column width in the editor to 72 chars. There is a continuation character in my language that allows for a line to spill over multiple lines. But as it stands now I merely have char wrap on, and a fixed scintilla width to simulate a new line every 72 characters. Is there a way that I can make Scintilla's text field have a fixed character width without wrapping?
I was thinking counting characters then when 71 gets hit slapping down a continuation character and a newline. Is there a better solution you can think of?
Thanks
