Isn't there even an easy example in the docs? I did such a thing in my commercial app. by subclassing Fl_Text_Display. The nice thing is that you can add another text buffer, fill it with anything you like, and then switch buffers (show the alternate buffer in the widget) with the text you want to show. This could be a list of all lines matching a search (that's one of the features I used). Together with the (syntax) highlighting features described by Greg (see also test/editor.cxx), this is very powerful for self-written analysis. Hint: run "test/editor test/editor.cxx" to see the editor working with syntax highlighting. It's a real editor, you can use it for editing source files ;-) and it has search and replace functions.
