want that my program, at a click of the button will do
some highlighting in the text in an editor (a component of
gambas that you can add to a form).
So, in the form_open() method, i set :
programEdit.Styles[Highlight.Normal].Color = Color.Red
programEdit.Styles[Highlight.Keyword].Color =
Color.DarkGreen
(my editor component is called programEdit)
then in the toolbutton1_click() method i set
programEdit.Highlight = Highlight.Custom
(should this not call the programEdit_highlight() method?
)
In the programEdit_highlight, I set:
Dim z_c As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim z As String
Dim s As String
z = programEdit.Text '(this picks up the text in the
editor)
z_c = String.Len(z)
For i = 1 To z_c
s = Mid(z, i, 1) 'pick up each character
If s = "s" Then 'i want the "s" -s to be dark green
'Message("resetting highlight")
Highlight.Add(Highlight.Keyword) 'according to the
docs, this will set the highlight of a single character ..
Highlight.State = Highlight.Keyword 'i dont know if i
needed this, but even dropping it has no effect
Else
Highlight.Add(Highlight.Normal)
Endif
Next
this should make the "s"- s dark green, and everything
else red, but i am seeing everything simply red. where did
i go wrong?
