[Help]How-to Make Syntax Highlighting

(I searched multiple times using different possibilities, nothing found.)

How in the hell do you make Syntax Highlighting for your program? I got a tab window thing and I need it to use the Syntax Highlighting on all tabs, the user will be able to add tabs to it so yeah. . .anyone have a template? I'll give rightful credit

in the program for a template

Or just explaining how with some coding or a link, I should be able to manage. . . you'll only get +rep. and +1 thanks but yeah

Thanks. All help appreciated /yea

Easiest way is scintilla .net , it's a component (similar to richtext) that allows you to choose a syntax highlight.

RegEx = Ugly .

Scintilla is the easy way to go.
You can use RegEx, You can create a word list.
But simple is Simple.

stop stalking the section and get your lazy ass on MSN /

Any good reason for hating ubah powered Regex ?

Just hate the formatting, it's a pain, easy to understand, but still a pain.
Getting on MSN in a mins.

I always used scintilla / scite, but if you're a masochist ... regex all the way

Okay thanks, solved now. Please close.

Since who ever is gonna close this probably will answer my next question, in stead of making a new topic: how would you make a spell checker, it won't be that big I'm making a quick web editor and if something isn't right I want it to ether auto do it or recommend changing to something in the list. just an example, it will be local so they can work off-line.
