Hmm, I downloaded ScintillaNET a couple months ago and it still had C++ in it - glad to hear it's changed. My wrapper is 100% C# and is working really well for me.
ScintillaNET is great, but I had the following problems with it: 1. It's handling of Scintilla notifications - it raised all the events but didn't expose the information in the SCNotification structure. My wrapper has exposed these with event handlers I've written. 2. Documentation - It's a complicated control, and not working with it for some time you tend to forget how to use it! I've also made a bit of effort in documenting the methods and properties in the wrapper, with reference to the original scintilla documentation. 3. ScintillaNET was a single compiled entity - my problem is that I don't use Visual Studio so I couldn't recompile it. My wrapper requires SciLexer.dll on the user's system, and as such is not tied to a single version of Scintilla. If Scintilla gets updated, the control should continue to work with the newer version - this is a major plus when lexers get updated etc. New methods etc would obviously need to be exposed, although they can still be called with unmanaged code. 4. As part of another project, I wanted to have more control of the code - with my own wrapper if there are problems I can sort it out. ScintillaNET didn't change in so long I thought the project was dead - glad to hear it's back on track. So that's it - I'd be happy to share any code if you want it - I'll probably put the wrapper out for free with source on the net at some stage - it's far from complete as at this stage it only exposes the bits and pieces I need, not everything scintilla offers. It's been a good way of learning how scintilla works, that's for sure. For interests sake, Neil's answer (thanks!) led to my solving of the original arrow problem of this post. The problem wasn't in the parent form but in the parent control that was housing the scintilla window, that was "swallowing" the arrow keys. Overriding the ProcessDialogKey protected method to always return false sorted it out. Took me ages to find it.
