Hi, 

I discovered scintilla a while back and it seems like
a cool thing indeed. I am mostly at the level of
reading the documentation and writing test code. Most
things seem fairly straight forward. But...

I'm sorry if this is something I've missed in the
documentation but using a controller to insert a bit
of text into the editor seems a bit challenging. 

The SCI_SETTEXT messenge sets all the text in the
document. You can change the selection area, change
the text you want and set the selection area back
where it was. But assume that this could cause the
window to flash or similar unwanted effects. You could
stop the window from repainting for a bit while you
did this but this again would have somewhat unwanted
effects. 

My goal is to have an app where the user edits text,
then chooses menu item/presses a button/presses a
hot-key and some text changes at some part of the text
different than the insertion point. What would be the
most canonical method for doing this? 

Hans
