+ <h2>
+ Top level structure
+ </h2>
+ <p>
+ Scintilla consists of three major layers of C++ code
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Portability Library
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Core Code
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Platform Events and API
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ The primary purpose of this structure is to separate the platform dependent code from the
+ platform independent core code. This makes it easier to port Scintilla to a new platform and
+ ensures that most readers of the code do not have to deal with platform details. To minimise
+ portability problems and avoid code bloat, a conservative subset of C++ is used in Scintilla
+ with no exception handling, run time type information or use of the standard C++
+ library and with limited use of templates.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The currently supported platforms, Windows, GTK+/Linux and wxWindows are fairly similar in
+ many ways.
+ Each has windows, menus and bitmaps. These features generally work in similar ways so each
+ has a way to move a window or draw a red line. Sometimes one platform requires a sequence of
+ calls rather than a single call. At other times, the differences are more profound. Reading
+ the Windows clipboard occurs synchronously but reading the GTK+ clipboard requires a request
+ call that will be asynchronously answered with a message containing the clipboard data.
+ The wxWindows platform is available from the <a href="http://wxwindows.org/">wxWindows site</a>
+ </p>
+ <br />
+ <h3>
+ Portability Library
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ This is a fairly small and thin layer over the platform's native capabilities.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The portability library is defined in Platform.h and is implemented once for each platform.
+ PlatWin.cxx defines the Windows variants of the methods and PlatGTK.cxx the GTK+ variants.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Several of the classes here hold platform specific object identifiers and act as proxies to
+ these platform objects. Most client code can thus manipulate the platform objects without
+ caring which is the current platform. Sometimes client code needs access to the underlying
+ object identifiers and this is provided by the GetID method. The underlying types of the
+ platform specific identifiers are typedefed to common names to allow them to be transferred
+ around in client code where needed.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ Point, PRectangle
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ These are simple classes provided to hold the commonly used geometric primitives. A
+ PRectangle follows the Mac / Windows convention of not including its bottom and right sides
+ instead of including all its sides as is normal in GTK+. It is not called Rectangle as this may be
+ the name of a macro on Windows.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ Colour, ColourPair, Palette
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ Colour holds a platform specific colour identifier - COLORREF for Windows and GdkColor for
+ GTK+. The red, green and blue components that make up the colour are limited to the 8 bits of
+ precision available on Windows. ColourPairs are used because not all possible colours are
+ always available. Using an 8 bit colour mode, which is a common setting for both Windows and
+ GTK+, only 256 colours are possible on the display. Thus when an application asks for a dull
+ red, say #400000, it may only be allocated an already available colour such as #800000 or
+ #330000. With 16 or 2 colour modes even less choice is available and the application will
+ have to use the limited set of already available colours.
+ </p>
+ A Palette object holds a set of colour pairs and can make the appropriate calls to ask to
+ allocate these colours and to see what the platform has decided will be allowed.
+ <h4>
+ Font
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ Font holds a platform specific font identifier - HFONT for Windows, GdkFont* for GTK+. It
+ does not own the identifier and so will not delete the platform font object in its
+ destructor. Client code should call Destroy at appropriate times.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ Surface
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ Surface is an abstraction over each platform's concept of somewhere that graphical drawing
+ operations can be done. It may wrap an already created drawing place such as a window or be
+ used to create a bitmap that can be drawn into and later copied onto another surface. On
+ Windows it wraps a HDC and possibly a HBITMAP. On GTK+ it wraps a GdkDrawable* and possibly a
+ GdkPixmap*. Other platform specific objects are created (and correctly destroyed) whenever
+ required to perform drawing actions.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Drawing operations provided include drawing filled and unfilled polygons, lines, rectangles,
+ ellipses and text. The height and width of text as well as other details can be measured.
+ Operations can be clipped to a rectangle. Most of the calls are stateless with all parameters
+ being passed at each call. The exception to this is line drawing which is performed by
+ calling MoveTo and then LineTo.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ Window
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ Window acts as a proxy to a platform window allowing operations such as showing, moving,
+ redrawing, and destroying to be performed. It contains a platform specific window identifier
+ - HWND for Windows, GtkWidget* for GTK+.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ ListBox
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ ListBox is a subclass of Window and acts as a proxy to a platform listbox adding methods for
+ operations such as adding, retrieving, and selecting items.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ Menu
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ Menu is a small helper class for constructing popup menus. It contains the platform specific
+ menu identifier - HMENU for Windows, GtkItemFactory* for GTK+. Most of the work in
+ constructing menus requires access to platform events and so is done in the Platform Events
+ and API layer.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ Platform
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ The Platform class is used to access the facilities of the platform. System wide parameters
+ such as double click speed and chrome colour are available from Platform. Utility functions
+ such as DebugPrintf are also available from Platform.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Core Code
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ The bulk of Scintilla's code is platform independent. This is made up of the CellBuffer,
+ ContractionState, Document, Editor, Indicator, LineMarker, Style, ViewStyle, KeyMap,
+ ScintillaBase, CallTip,
+ and AutoComplete primary classes.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ CellBuffer
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ A CellBuffer holds text and styling information, the undo stack, the assignment of line
+ markers to lines, and the fold structure.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A cell contains a character byte and its associated style byte. The current state of the
+ cell buffer is the sequence of cells that make up the text and a sequence of line information
+ containing the starting position of each line and any markers assigned to each line.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The undo stack holds a sequence of actions on the cell buffer. Each action is one of a text
+ insertion, a text deletion or an undo start action. The start actions are used to group
+ sequences of text insertions and deletions together so they can be undone together. To
+ perform an undo operation, each insertion or deletion is undone in reverse sequence.
+ Similarly, redo reapplies each action to the buffer in sequence. Whenever a character is
+ inserted in the buffer either directly through a call such as InsertString or through undo or
+ redo, its styling byte is initially set to zero. Client code is responsible for styling each
+ character whenever convenient. Styling information is not stored in undo actions.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ Document
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ A document contains a CellBuffer and deals with some higher level abstractions such as
+ words, DBCS character sequences and line end character sequences. It is responsible for
+ managing the styling process and for notifying other objects when changes occur to the
+ document.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ Editor
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ The Editor object is central to Scintilla. It is responsible for displaying a document and
+ responding to user actions and requests from the container. It uses ContractionState, Indicator,
+ LineMarker, Style, and ViewStyle objects to display the document and a KeyMap class to
+ map key presses to functions.
+ The visibility of each line is kept in the ContractionState which is also responsible for mapping
+ from display lines to documents lines and vice versa.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There may be multiple Editor objects attached to one Document object. Changes to a
+ document are broadcast to the editors through the DocWatcher mechanism.
+ </p>
+ <h4>
+ ScintillaBase
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ ScintillaBase is a subclass of Editor and adds extra windowing features including display of
+ calltips, autocompletion lists and context menus. These features use CallTip and AutoComplete
+ objects. This class is optional so a lightweight implementation of Scintilla may bypass it if
+ the added functionality is not required.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Platform Events and API
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ Each platform uses different mechanisms for receiving events. On Windows, events are
+ received through messages and COM. On GTK+, callback functions are used.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For each platform, a class is derived from ScintillaBase (and thus from Editor). This is
+ ScintillaWin on Windows and ScintillaGTK on GTK+. These classes are responsible for
+ connecting to the platforms event mechanism and also to implement some virtual methods in
+ Editor and ScintillaBase which are different on the platforms. For example, this layer has to
+ support this difference between the synchronous Windows clipboard and the asynchronous GTK+
+ clipboard.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The external API is defined in this layer as each platform has different preferred styles of
+ API - messages on Windows and function calls on GTK+. This also allows multiple APIs to be
+ defined on a platform. The currently available API on GTK+ is similar to the Windows API and
+ does not follow platform conventions well. A second API could be implemented here that did
+ follow platform conventions.

+How to write a scintilla lexer
+
+A lexer for a particular language determines how a specified range of
+text shall be colored. Writing a lexer is relatively straightforward
+because the lexer need only color given text. The harder job of
+determining how much text actually needs to be colored is handled by
+Scintilla itself, that is, the lexer's caller.
+
+
+Parameters
+
+The lexer for language LLL has the following prototype:
+
+ static void ColouriseLLLDoc (
+ unsigned int startPos, int length,
+ int initStyle,
+ WordList *keywordlists[],
+ Accessor &styler);
+
+The styler parameter is an Accessor object. The lexer must use this
+object to access the text to be colored. The lexer gets the character
+at position i using styler.SafeGetCharAt(i);
+
+The startPos and length parameters indicate the range of text to be
+recolored; the lexer must determine the proper color for all characters
+in positions startPos through startPos+length.
+
+The initStyle parameter indicates the initial state, that is, the state
+at the character before startPos. States also indicate the coloring to
+be used for a particular range of text.
+
+Note: the character at StartPos is assumed to start a line, so if a
+newline terminates the initStyle state the lexer should enter its
+default state (or whatever state should follow initStyle).
+
+The keywordlists parameter specifies the keywords that the lexer must
+recognize. A WordList class object contains methods that make simplify
+the recognition of keywords. Present lexers use a helper function
+called classifyWordLLL to recognize keywords. These functions show how
+to use the keywordlists parameter to recognize keywords. This
+documentation will not discuss keywords further.
+
+
+The lexer code
+
+The task of a lexer can be summarized briefly: for each range r of
+characters that are to be colored the same, the lexer should call
+
+ styler.ColourTo(i, state)
+
+where i is the position of the last character of the range r. The lexer
+should set the state variable to the coloring state of the character at
+position i and continue until the entire text has been colored.
+
+Note 1: the styler (Accessor) object remembers the i parameter in the
+previous calls to styler.ColourTo, so the single i parameter suffices to
+indicate a range of characters.
+
+Note 2: As a side effect of calling styler.ColourTo(i,state), the
+coloring states of all characters in the range are remembered so that
+Scintilla may set the initStyle parameter correctly on future calls to
+the
+lexer.
+
+
+Lexer organization
+
+There are at least two ways to organize the code of each lexer. Present
+lexers use what might be called a "character-based" approach: the outer
+loop iterates over characters, like this:
+
+ lengthDoc = startPos + length ;
+ for (unsigned int i = startPos; i < lengthDoc; i++) {
+ chNext = styler.SafeGetCharAt(i + 1);
+ << handle special cases >>
+ switch(state) {
+ // Handlers examine only ch and chNext.
+ // Handlers call styler.ColorTo(i,state) if the state changes.
+ case state_1: << handle ch in state 1 >>
+ case state_2: << handle ch in state 2 >>
+ ...
+ case state_n: << handle ch in state n >>
+ }
+ chPrev = ch;
+ }
+ styler.ColourTo(lengthDoc - 1, state);
+
+
+An alternative would be to use a "state-based" approach. The outer loop
+would iterate over states, like this:
+
+ lengthDoc = startPos+lenth ;
+ for ( unsigned int i = startPos ;; ) {
+ char ch = styler.SafeGetCharAt(i);
+ int new_state = 0 ;
+ switch ( state ) {
+ // scanners set new_state if they set the next state.
+ case state_1: << scan to the end of state 1 >> break ;
+ case state_2: << scan to the end of state 2 >> break ;
+ case default_state:
+ << scan to the next non-default state and set new_state >>
+ }
+ styler.ColourTo(i, state);
+ if ( i >= lengthDoc ) break ;
+ if ( ! new_state ) {
+ ch = styler.SafeGetCharAt(i);
+ << set state based on ch in the default state >>
+ }
+ }
+ styler.ColourTo(lengthDoc - 1, state);
+
+This approach might seem to be more natural. State scanners are simpler
+than character scanners because less needs to be done. For example,
+there is no need to test for the start of a C string inside the scanner
+for a C comment. Also this way makes it natural to define routines that
+could be used by more than one scanner; for example, a scanToEndOfLine
+routine.
+
+However, the special cases handled in the main loop in the
+character-based approach would have to be handled by each state scanner,
+so both approaches have advantages. These special cases are discussed
+below.
+
+Special case: Lead characters
+
+Lead bytes are part of DBCS processing for languages such as Japanese
+using an encoding such as Shift-JIS. In these encodings, extended
+(16-bit) characters are encoded as a lead byte followed by a trail byte.
+
+Lead bytes are rarely of any lexical significance, normally only being
+allowed within strings and comments. In such contexts, lexers should
+ignore ch if styler.IsLeadByte(ch) returns TRUE.
+
+Note: UTF-8 is simpler than Shift-JIS, so no special handling is
+applied for it. All UTF-8 extended characters are >= 128 and none are
+lexically significant in programming languages which, so far, use only
+characters in ASCII for operators, comment markers, etc.
+
+
+Special case: Folding
+
+Folding may be performed in the lexer function. It is better to use a
+separate folder function as that avoids some troublesome interaction
+between styling and folding. The folder function will be run after the
+lexer function if folding is enabled. The rest of this section explains
+how to perform folding within the lexer function.
+
+During initialization, lexers that support folding set
+
+ bool fold = styler.GetPropertyInt("fold");
+
+If folding is enabled in the editor, fold will be TRUE and the lexer
+should call:
+
+ styler.SetLevel(line, level);
+
+at the end of each line and just before exiting.
+
+The line parameter is simply the count of the number of newlines seen.
+It's initial value is styler.GetLine(startPos) and it is incremented
+(after calling styler.SetLevel) whenever a newline is seen.
+
+The level parameter is the desired indentation level in the low 12 bits,
+along with flag bits in the upper four bits. The indentation level
+depends on the language. For C++, it is incremented when the lexer sees
+a '{' and decremented when the lexer sees a '}' (outside of strings and
+comments, of course).
+
+The following flag bits, defined in Scintilla.h, may be set or cleared
+in the flags parameter. The SC_FOLDLEVELWHITEFLAG flag is set if the
+lexer considers that the line contains nothing but whitespace. The
+SC_FOLDLEVELHEADERFLAG flag indicates that the line is a fold point.
+This normally means that the next line has a greater level than present
+line. However, the lexer may have some other basis for determining a
+fold point. For example, a lexer might create a header line for the
+first line of a function definition rather than the last.
+
+The SC_FOLDLEVELNUMBERMASK mask denotes the level number in the low 12
+bits of the level param. This mask may be used to isolate either flags
+or level numbers.
+
+For example, the C++ lexer contains the following code when a newline is
+seen:
+
+ if (fold) {
+ int lev = levelPrev;
+
+ // Set the "all whitespace" bit if the line is blank.
+ if (visChars == 0)
+ lev |= SC_FOLDLEVELWHITEFLAG;
+
+ // Set the "header" bit if needed.
+ if ((levelCurrent > levelPrev) && (visChars > 0))
+ lev |= SC_FOLDLEVELHEADERFLAG;
+ styler.SetLevel(lineCurrent, lev);
+
+ // reinitialize the folding vars describing the present line.
+ lineCurrent++;
+ visChars = 0; // Number of non-whitespace characters on the line.
+ levelPrev = levelCurrent;
+ }
+
+The following code appears in the C++ lexer just before exit:
+
+ // Fill in the real level of the next line, keeping the current flags
+ // as they will be filled in later.
+ if (fold) {
+ // Mask off the level number, leaving only the previous flags.
+ int flagsNext = styler.LevelAt(lineCurrent);
+ flagsNext &= ~SC_FOLDLEVELNUMBERMASK;
+ styler.SetLevel(lineCurrent, levelPrev | flagsNext);
+ }
+
+
+Don't worry about performance
+
+The writer of a lexer may safely ignore performance considerations: the
+cost of redrawing the screen is several orders of magnitude greater than
+the cost of function calls, etc. Moreover, Scintilla performs all the
+important optimizations; Scintilla ensures that a lexer will be called
+only to recolor text that actually needs to be recolored. Finally, it
+is not necessary to avoid extra calls to styler.ColourTo: the sytler
+object buffers calls to ColourTo to avoid multiple updates of the
+screen.

+ <h2>
+ Code Style
+ </h2>
+ <h3>
+ Introduction
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ The source code of Scintilla and SciTE follow my preferences.
+ Some of these decisions are arbitrary and based on my sense of aesthetics
+ but its good to have all the code look the same even if its not exactly how
+ everyone would prefer.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Code that does not follow these conventions will be accepted, but will be modified
+ as time goes by to fit the conventions. Scintilla code follows the conventions more
+ closely than SciTE except for lexers which are relatively independent modules.
+ Lexers that are maintained by others are left as they are submitted except that
+ warnings will be fixed so the whole project can compile cleanly.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The <a href="http://astyle.sourceforge.net/">AStyle</a> formatting
+ program with a '-tapO' argument formats code in much the right way although
+ there are a few bugs in AStyle. The scite/scripts/Fixer.py script will run AStyle
+ over a C++ source file and fix up some of those bugs.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Language features
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ Design goals for Scintilla and SciTE include portability to currently available C++
+ compilers on diverse platforms with high performance and low resource usage.
+ Scintilla has stricter portability requirements to SciTE as it may be ported to
+ low capability platforms such as Windows CE or PalmOS but it is less likely
+ SciTE will be.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To achieve portability, only a subset of C++ features are used. Exceptions are
+ not available on some platforms such as Windows CE so exceptions are not used
+ and thus the standard C++ library can not be used.
+ Template support differs between compilers so is not used in Scintilla but there
+ are some simple uses in SciTE.
+ Run-time type information adds to memory use so is turned off.
+ Name spaces are not used.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The goto statement is not used because of bad memories from my first job
+ maintaining FORTRAN programs. The union feature is not used as it can lead to
+ non-type-safe value access.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Casting
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ Do not use old C style casts like (char *)s. Instead use the most strict form of C++
+ cast possible like const_cast&lt;char *&gt;(s). Use static_cast and const_cast
+ where possible rather than reinterpret_cast. Because the code is compiled with
+ run-time type information turned off, dynamic_cast will not work.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The benefit to using the new style casts is that they explicitly detail what evil is
+ occurring and act as signals that something potentially unsafe is being done.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Code that treats const seriously is easier to reason about both for humans
+ and compilers, so use const parameters and avoid const_cast.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Warnings
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ To help ensure code is well written and portable, it is compiled with almost all
+ warnings turned on. This sometimes results in warnings about code that is
+ completely good (false positives) but changing the code to avoid the warnings
+ is generally fast and has little impact on readability.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Initialise all variables and minimise the scope of variables. If a variable is defined
+ just before its use then it can't be misused by code before that point.
+ Use loop declarations that are compatible with both the C++ standard and currently
+ available compilers.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Allocation
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ As exceptions are not used, memory exhaustion can occur.
+ This should be checked for and handled but there is quite a lot of Scintilla and
+ SciTE code that doesn't yet.
+ Fixed length buffers are often used as these are simple and avoid the need to
+ worry about memory exhaustion but then require that buffer lengths are
+ respected.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The C++ new and delete operators are preferred over C's malloc and free
+ as new and delete are type safe.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Bracketing
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ Start brackets, '{', should be located on the line of the control structure they
+ start and end brackets, '}', should be at the indented start of a line. When there is
+ an else clause, this occurs on the same line as the '}'.
+ This format uses less lines than alternatives, allowing more code to be seen on screen.
+ Fully bracketed control
+ structures are preferred because this makes it more likely that modifications will
+ be correct and it allows Scintilla's folder to work. No braces on returned
+ expressions as return is a keyword, not a function call.
+ </p>

+ The <a class="jump" href="SciCoding.html">coding style</a> used in Scintilla and SciTE is
+ worth following if you want to contribute code to Scintilla but is not compulsory.</p>
+
+ <h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+ <p>The Windows version of Scintilla is a Windows Control. As such, its primary programming
+ interface is through Windows messages. Early versions of Scintilla emulated much of the API
+ defined by the standard Windows Edit and RichEdit controls but those APIs are now deprecated in
+ favour of Scintilla's own, more consistent API. In addition to messages performing the actions
+ of a normal Edit control, Scintilla allows control of syntax styling, folding, markers, autocompletion
+ and call tips.</p>
+
+ <p>The GTK+ version also uses messages in a similar way to the Windows version. This is
+ different to normal GTK+ practice but made it easier to implement rapidly.</p>
+
+ <p>This documentation describes the individual messages and notifications used by Scintilla. It
+ does not describe how to link them together to form a useful editor. For now, the best way to
+ work out how to develop using Scintilla is to see how SciTE uses it. SciTE exercises most of
+ Scintilla's facilities.</p>
+
+ <p>In the descriptions that follow, the messages are described as function calls with zero, one
+ or two arguments. These two arguments are the standard <code>wParam</code> and
+ <code>lParam</code> familiar to Windows programmers. These parameters are integers that
+ are large enough to hold pointers, and the return value is also an integer large enough to contain a
+ pointer.
+ Although the commands only use the
+ arguments described, because all messages have two arguments whether Scintilla uses them or
+ not, it is strongly recommended that any unused arguments are set to 0. This allows future
+ enhancement of messages without the risk of breaking existing code. Common argument types
+ are:</p>
+
+ <table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="2" border="0" summary="Common argument types">
+ <tbody valign="top">
+ <tr>
+ <th align="left">bool</th>
+
+ <td>Arguments expect the values 0 for <code>false</code> and 1 for
+ <code>true</code>.</td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr>
+ <th align="left">int</th>
+
+ <td>Arguments are 32-bit signed integers.</td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr>
+ <th align="left">const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*</th>
+
+ <td>Arguments point at text that is being passed to Scintilla but not modified. The text
+ may be zero terminated or another argument may specify the character count, the
+ description will make this clear.</td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr>
+ <th align="left">char *</th>
+
+ <td>Arguments point at text buffers that Scintilla will fill with text. In some cases,
+ another argument will tell Scintilla the buffer size. In others, you must make sure that
+ the buffer is big enough to hold the requested text. If a NULL pointer (0) is passed
+ then, for SCI_* calls, the length that should be allocated is returned.</td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr>
+ <th align="left" id="colour">colour</th>
+
+ <td>Colours are set using the RGB format (Red, Green, Blue). The intensity of each colour
+ is set in the range 0 to 255. If you have three such intensities, they are combined as:
+ red | (green &lt;&lt; 8) | (blue &lt;&lt; 16). If you set all intensities to 255, the
+ colour is white. If you set all intensities to 0, the colour is black. When you set a
+ colour, you are making a request. What you will get depends on the capabilities of the
+ system and the current screen mode.</td>
+ </tr>
+

+ <th align="left" id="alpha">alpha</th>
+
+ <td>Translucency is set using an alpha value.
+ Alpha ranges from 0 (SC_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT) which is completely transparent to

+ is opaque and uses code that is not alpha-aware and may be faster. Not all platforms support
+ translucency and only some Scintilla features implement translucency.
+ The default alpha value for most features is SC_ALPHA_NOALPHA.</td>

+ <code>SCI_GETxxxxx</code>. To save tedious repetition, if the <code>SCI_GETxxxxx</code> message

+
+ <p>Each character in a Scintilla document is followed by an associated byte of styling
+ information. The combination of a character byte and a style byte is called a cell. Style bytes
+ are interpreted as a style index in the low 5 bits and as 3 individual bits of <a class="jump"
+ href="#Indicators">indicators</a>. This allows 32 fundamental styles, which is enough for most
+ languages, and three independent indicators so that, for example, syntax errors, deprecated
+ names and bad indentation could all be displayed at once. The number of bits used for styles
+ can be altered with <a class="message"
+ href="#SCI_SETSTYLEBITS"><code>SCI_SETSTYLEBITS</code></a> up to a maximum of 7 bits.
+ The remaining bits can be used for indicators.</p>
+
+ <p>Positions within the Scintilla document refer to a character or the gap before that
+ character. The first character in a document is 0, the second 1 and so on. If a document
+ contains <code>nLen</code> characters, the last character is numbered <code>nLen</code>-1.
+ The caret exists between character positions and can be located from before the first character (0)
+ to after the last character (<code>nLen</code>).</p>
+
+ <p>There are places where the caret can not go where two character bytes make up one character.
+ This occurs when a DBCS character from a language like Japanese is included in the document or
+ when line ends are marked with the CP/M standard of a carriage return followed by a line feed.
+ The <code>INVALID_POSITION</code> constant (-1) represents an invalid position within the
+ document.</p>
+
+ <p>All lines of text in Scintilla are the same height, and this height is calculated from the
+ largest font in any current style. This restriction is for performance; if lines differed in
+ height then calculations involving positioning of text would require the text to be styled
+ first.</p>

+
+ <p>Scintilla has multiple level undo and redo. It will continue to collect undoable actions
+ until memory runs out. Scintilla saves actions that change the document. Scintilla does not
+ save caret and selection movements, view scrolling and the like. Sequences of typing or
+ deleting are compressed into single actions to make it easier to undo and redo at a sensible
+ level of detail. Sequences of actions can be combined into actions that are undone as a unit.
+ These sequences occur between <code>SCI_BEGINUNDOACTION</code> and
+ <code>SCI_ENDUNDOACTION</code> messages. These sequences can be nested and only the top-level
+ sequences are undone as units.</p>

+
+ <h2 id="SelectionAndInformation">Selection and information</h2>
+
+ <p>Scintilla maintains a selection that stretches between two points, the anchor and the
+ current position. If the anchor and the current position are the same, there is no selected
+ text. Positions in the document range from 0 (before the first character), to the document size
+ (after the last character). If you use messages, there is nothing to stop you setting a
+ position that is in the middle of a CRLF pair, or in the middle of a 2 byte character. However,
+ keyboard commands will not move the caret into such positions.</p>

+ Scintilla keeps a record of the last character that is likely to be styled correctly. This is
+ moved forwards when characters after it are styled and moved backwards if changes are made to
+ the text of the document before it. Before drawing text, this position is checked to see if any
+ styling is needed and, if so, a <code><a class="message"
+ href="#SCN_STYLENEEDED">SCN_STYLENEEDED</a></code> notification message is sent to the
+ container. The container can send <code>SCI_GETENDSTYLED</code> to work out where it needs to
+ start styling. Scintilla will always ask to style whole lines.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_STARTSTYLING">SCI_STARTSTYLING(int pos, int mask)</b><br />
+ This prepares for styling by setting the styling position <code>pos</code> to start at and a
+ <code>mask</code> indicating which bits of the style bytes can be set. The mask allows styling

+ ensure that the text of the code is seen quickly and correctly, and then a second slower pass,
+ detecting syntax errors and using indicators to show where these are. For example, with the
+ standard settings of 5 style bits and 3 indicator bits, you would use a <code>mask</code> value
+ of 31 (0x1f) if you were setting text styles and did not want to change the indicators. After
+ <code>SCI_STARTSTYLING</code>, send multiple <code>SCI_SETSTYLING</code> messages for each
+ lexical entity to style.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETSTYLING">SCI_SETSTYLING(int length, int style)</b><br />
+ This message sets the style of <code>length</code> characters starting at the styling position
+ and then increases the styling position by <code>length</code>, ready for the next call. If

+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETSTYLINGEX">SCI_SETSTYLINGEX(int length, const char *styles)</b><br />

+ Pango antialiases text, works well with Unicode and is better supported in recent versions of GTK+

+
+ <p><b id="SCI_STYLESETUNDERLINE">SCI_STYLESETUNDERLINE(int styleNumber, bool

+ If the last character in the line has a style with this attribute set, the remainder of the

+ You can set a style to use a different character set than the default. The places where such

+ <code>SCI_STYLESETCHARACTERSET(SCE_C_STRING, SC_CHARSET_RUSSIAN)</code> would ensure that
+ strings in Russian would display correctly in C and C++ (<code>SCE_C_STRING</code> is the style
+ number used by the C and C++ lexer to display literal strings; it has the value 6). This
+ feature works differently on Windows and GTK+.</p>
+
+ <p>The character sets supported on Windows are:<br />
+ <code>SC_CHARSET_ANSI</code>, <code>SC_CHARSET_ARABIC</code>, <code>SC_CHARSET_BALTIC</code>,

+
+ <p><b id="SCI_STYLESETCASE">SCI_STYLESETCASE(int styleNumber, int caseMode)</b><br />
+ The value of caseMode determines how text is displayed. You can set upper case
+ (<code>SC_CASE_UPPER</code>, 1) or lower case (<code>SC_CASE_LOWER</code>, 2) or display
+ normally (<code>SC_CASE_MIXED</code>, 0). This does not change the stored text, only how it is
+ displayed.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_STYLESETVISIBLE">SCI_STYLESETVISIBLE(int styleNumber, bool visible)</b><br />
+ Text is normally visible. However, you can completely hide it by giving it a style with the

+ hypertext keywords in HTML or XML.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_STYLESETCHANGEABLE">SCI_STYLESETCHANGEABLE(int styleNumber, bool
+ changeable)</b><br />
+ This is an experimental and incompletely implemented style attribute. The default setting is
+ <code>changeable</code> set <code>true</code> but when set <code>false</code> it makes text

+ yet stop deleting a range that contains not-changeable text.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_STYLESETHOTSPOT">SCI_STYLESETHOTSPOT(int styleNumber, bool

+ This style is used to mark ranges of text that can detect mouse clicks.
+ The cursor changes to a hand over hotspots, and the foreground, and background colours

+ These two routines set and get the type of a margin. The margin argument should be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.
+ You can use the predefined constants <code>SC_MARGIN_SYMBOL</code> (0) and
+ <code>SC_MARGIN_NUMBER</code> (1) to set a margin as either a line number or a symbol margin.
+ By convention, margin 0 is used for line numbers and the next two are used for symbols. You can
+ also use the constants <code>SC_MARGIN_BACK</code> (2) and <code>SC_MARGIN_FORE</code> (3) for
+ symbol margins that set their background colour to match the STYLE_DEFAULT background and

+ <b id="SCI_GETMARGINWIDTHN">SCI_GETMARGINWIDTHN(int margin)</b><br />
+ These routines set and get the width of a margin in pixels. A margin with zero width is
+ invisible. By default, Scintilla sets margin 1 for symbols with a width of 16 pixels, so this
+ is a reasonable guess if you are not sure what would be appropriate. Line number margins widths
+ should take into account the number of lines in the document and the line number style. You
+ could use something like <a class="message"
+ href="#SCI_TEXTWIDTH"><code>SCI_TEXTWIDTH(STYLE_LINENUMBER, "_99999")</code></a> to get a
+ suitable width.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETMARGINMASKN">SCI_SETMARGINMASKN(int margin, int mask)</b><br />
+ <b id="SCI_GETMARGINMASKN">SCI_GETMARGINMASKN(int margin)</b><br />
+ The mask is a 32-bit value. Each bit corresponds to one of 32 logical symbols that can be
+ displayed in a margin that is enabled for symbols. There is a useful constant,
+ <code>SC_MASK_FOLDERS</code> (0xFE000000 or -33554432), that is a mask for the 7 logical
+ symbols used to denote folding. You can assign a wide range of symbols and colours to each of
+ the 32 logical symbols, see <a href="#Markers">Markers</a> for more information. If <code>(mask
+ &amp; SC_MASK_FOLDERS)==0</code>, the margin background colour is controlled by style 33 (<a
+ class="message" href="#StyleDefinition"><code>STYLE_LINENUMBER</code></a>).</p>
+
+ <p>You add logical markers to a line with <a class="message"
+ href="#SCI_MARKERADD"><code>SCI_MARKERADD</code></a>. If a line has an associated marker that
+ does not appear in the mask of any margin with a non-zero width, the marker changes the
+ background colour of the line. For example, suppose you decide to use logical marker 10 to mark
+ lines with a syntax error and you want to show such lines by changing the background colour.
+ The mask for this marker is 1 shifted left 10 times (1&lt;&lt;10) which is 0x400. If you make
+ sure that no symbol margin includes 0x400 in its mask, any line with the marker gets the
+ background colour changed.</p>
+
+ <p>To set a non-folding margin 1 use <code>SCI_SETMARGINMASKN(1, ~SC_MASK_FOLDERS)</code>; to
+ set a folding margin 2 use <code>SCI_SETMARGINMASKN(2, SC_MASK_FOLDERS)</code>. This is the
+ default set by Scintilla. <code>~SC_MASK_FOLDERS</code> is 0x1FFFFFF in hexadecimal or 33554431
+ decimal. Of course, you may need to display all 32 symbols in a margin, in which case use
+ <code>SCI_SETMARGINMASKN(margin, -1)</code>.</p>

+ On 8 bit displays, which can only display a maximum of 256 colours, the graphics environment
+ mediates between the colour needs of applications through the use of palettes. On GTK+,
+ Scintilla always uses a palette.</p>
+
+ <p>On Windows, there are some problems with visual flashing when switching between applications
+ with palettes and it is also necessary for the application containing the Scintilla control to
+ forward some messages to Scintilla for its palette code to work. Because of this, by default,
+ the palette is not used and the application must tell Scintilla to use one. If Scintilla is not
+ using a palette, it will only display in those colours already available, which are often the
+ 20 Windows system colours.</p>
+
+ <p>To see an example of how to enable palette support in Scintilla, search the text of SciTE
+ for <code>WM_PALETTECHANGED</code>, <code>WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE</code> and
+ <code>SCI_SETUSEPALETTE</code>. The Windows messages to forward are:<br />
+ <code>WM_SYSCOLORCHANGE</code>, <code>WM_PALETTECHANGED</code>,
+ <code>WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE</code> (should return <code>TRUE</code>).</p>
+
+ <p>To forward a message <code>(WM_XXXX, WPARAM, LPARAM)</code> to Scintilla, you can use
+ <code>SendMessage(hScintilla, WM_XXXX, WPARAM, LPARAM)</code> where <code>hScintilla</code> is
+ the handle to the Scintilla window you created as your editor.</p>
+
+ <p>While we are on the subject of forwarding messages in Windows, the top level window should
+ forward any <code>WM_SETTINGCHANGE</code> messages to Scintilla (this is currently used to
+ collect changes to mouse settings, but could be used for other user interface items in the
+ future).</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETBUFFEREDDRAW">SCI_SETBUFFEREDDRAW(bool isBuffered)</b><br />
+ <b id="SCI_GETBUFFEREDDRAW">SCI_GETBUFFEREDDRAW</b><br />
+ These messages turn buffered drawing on or off and report the buffered drawing state. Buffered
+ drawing draws each line into a bitmap rather than directly to the screen and then copies the
+ bitmap to the screen. This avoids flickering although it does take longer. The default is for
+ drawing to be buffered.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETTWOPHASEDRAW">SCI_SETTWOPHASEDRAW(bool twoPhase)</b><br />
+ <b id="SCI_GETTWOPHASEDRAW">SCI_GETTWOPHASEDRAW</b><br />
+ Two phase drawing is a better but slower way of drawing text.
+ In single phase drawing each run of characters in one style is drawn along with its background.
+ If a character overhangs the end of a run, such as in "<i>V</i>_" where the
+ "<i>V</i>" is in a different style from the "_", then this can cause the right hand
+ side of the "<i>V</i>" to be overdrawn by the background of the "_" which
+ cuts it off. Two phase drawing
+ fixes this by drawing all the backgrounds first and then drawing the text in
+ transparent mode. Two phase drawing may flicker more than single phase
+ unless buffered drawing is on. The default is for drawing to be two phase.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETCODEPAGE">SCI_SETCODEPAGE(int codePage)</b><br />
+ <b id="SCI_GETCODEPAGE">SCI_GETCODEPAGE</b><br />
+ Scintilla has some support for Japanese, Chinese and Korean DBCS. Use this message with
+ <code>codePage</code> set to the code page number to set Scintilla to use code page information
+ to ensure double byte characters are treated as one character rather than two. This also stops
+ the caret from moving between the two bytes in a double byte character.
+ Do not use this message to choose between different single byte character sets: it doesn't do that.
+ Call with
+ <code>codePage</code> set to zero to disable DBCS support. The default is
+ <code>SCI_SETCODEPAGE(0)</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>Code page <code>SC_CP_UTF8</code> (65001) sets Scintilla into Unicode mode with the document
+ treated as a sequence of characters expressed in UTF-8. The text is converted to the platform's
+ normal Unicode encoding before being drawn by the OS and thus can display Hebrew, Arabic,
+ Cyrillic, and Han characters. Languages which can use two characters stacked vertically in one
+ horizontal space, such as Thai, will mostly work but there are some issues where the characters
+ are drawn separately leading to visual glitches. Bi-directional text is not supported. Characters outside the
+ Basic Multilingual Plane are unlikely to work.</p>
+
+ <p>On Windows, code page can be set to 932 (Japanese Shift-JIS), 936 (Simplified Chinese GBK),
+ 949 (Korean Unified Hangul Code), 950 (Traditional Chinese Big5), or 1361 (Korean Johab)
+ although these may require installation of language specific support.</p>
+
+ <p>On GTK+, code page <code>SC_CP_DBCS</code> (1) sets Scintilla into
+ multi byte character mode as is required for Japanese language processing with
+ the EUC encoding.</p>
+
+ <p>For GTK+ 1.x, the locale should be set to a Unicode locale with a call similar to
+ <code>setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8")</code>. Fonts with an <code>"iso10646"</code> registry
+ should be used in a font set. Font sets are a comma separated list of partial font
+ specifications where each partial font specification can be in the form:
+ <code>foundry-fontface-charsetregistry-encoding</code> or
+ <code>fontface-charsetregistry-encoding</code> or <code>foundry-fontface</code> or
+ <code>fontface</code>. An example is <code>"misc-fixed-iso10646-1,*"</code>.
+ On GTK+ 2.x, Pango fonts should be used rather than font sets.</p>
+
+ <p>Setting <code>codePage</code> to a non-zero value that is not <code>SC_CP_UTF8</code> is
+ operating system dependent.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETWORDCHARS">SCI_SETWORDCHARS(&lt;unused&gt;, const char *chars)</b><br />
+ Scintilla has several functions that operate on words, which are defined to be contiguous
+ sequences of characters from a particular set of characters. This message defines which
+ characters are members of that set. The character sets are set to default values before processing this
+ function.
+ For example, if you don't allow '_' in your set of characters
+ use:<br />
+ <code>SCI_SETWORDCHARS(0, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789")</code>;</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETWHITESPACECHARS">SCI_SETWHITESPACECHARS(&lt;unused&gt;, const char *chars)</b><br />
+ Similar to <code>SCI_SETWORDCHARS</code>, this message allows the user to define which chars Scintilla considers
+ as whitespace. Setting the whitespace chars allows the user to fine-tune Scintilla's behaviour doing
+ such things as moving the cursor to the start or end of a word; for example, by defining punctuation chars
+ as whitespace, they will be skipped over when the user presses ctrl+left or ctrl+right.
+ This function should be called after <code>SCI_SETWORDCHARS</code> as it will
+ reset the whitespace characters to the default set.</p>
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETCHARSDEFAULT">SCI_SETCHARSDEFAULT</b><br />
+ Use the default sets of word and whitespace characters. This sets whitespace to space, tab and other
+ characters with codes less than 0x20, with word characters set to alphanumeric and '_'.

+ ']', '{', '}', '&lt;', and '&gt;'. The search is forwards from an opening brace and backwards
+ from a closing brace. If the character at position is not a brace character, or a matching
+ brace cannot be found, the return value is -1. Otherwise, the return value is the position of
+ the matching brace.</p>
+
+ <p>A match only occurs if the style of the matching brace is the same as the starting brace or
+ the matching brace is beyond the end of styling. Nested braces are handled correctly. The

+ up to the next tab.</p>
+
+ <p>Scintilla can be set to treat tab and backspace in the white space at the start of a line in
+ a special way: inserting a tab indents the line to the next indent position rather than just
+ inserting a tab at the current character position and backspace unindents the line rather than
+ deleting a character. Scintilla can also display indentation guides (vertical lines) to help
+ you to generate code.</p>

+ <code>SC_MARK_CIRCLE</code>, <code>SC_MARK_ROUNDRECT</code>, <code>SC_MARK_ARROW</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARK_SMALLRECT</code>, <code>SC_MARK_SHORTARROW</code>, <code>SC_MARK_EMPTY</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARK_ARROWDOWN</code>, <code>SC_MARK_MINUS</code>, <code>SC_MARK_PLUS</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARK_ARROWS</code>, <code>SC_MARK_DOTDOTDOT</code>, <code>SC_MARK_EMPTY</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARK_BACKGROUND</code> and <code>SC_MARK_FULLRECT</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code>SC_MARK_BACKGROUND</code> marker changes the background colour of the line only.
+ The <code>SC_MARK_FULLRECT</code> symbol mirrors this, changing only the margin background colour.
+ The <code>SC_MARK_EMPTY</code> symbol is invisible, allowing client code to track the movement
+ of lines. You would also use it if you changed the folding style and wanted one or more of the
+ <code>SC_FOLDERNUM_</code>* markers to have no associated symbol.</p>
+
+ <p>There are also marker symbols designed for use in the folding margin in a flattened tree
+ style.<br />
+ <code>SC_MARK_BOXMINUS</code>, <code>SC_MARK_BOXMINUSCONNECTED</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARK_BOXPLUS</code>, <code>SC_MARK_BOXPLUSCONNECTED</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARK_CIRCLEMINUS</code>, <code>SC_MARK_CIRCLEMINUSCONNECTED</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARK_CIRCLEPLUS</code>, <code>SC_MARK_CIRCLEPLUSCONNECTED</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARK_LCORNER</code>, <code>SC_MARK_LCORNERCURVE</code>, <code>SC_MARK_TCORNER</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARK_TCORNERCURVE</code>, and <code>SC_MARK_VLINE</code>.</p>
+ Characters can be used as markers by adding the ASCII value of the character to
+ <code>SC_MARK_CHARACTER</code> (10000). For example, to use 'A' (ASCII code 65) as marker
+ number 1 use:<br />
+ <code>SCI_MARKERDEFINE(1, SC_MARK_CHARACTER+65)</code>. <br />
+
+ <p>The marker numbers <code>SC_MARKNUM_FOLDER</code> and <code>SC_MARKNUM_FOLDEROPEN</code> are
+ used for showing that a fold is present and open or closed. Any symbols may be assigned for
+ this purpose although the (<code>SC_MARK_PLUS</code>, <code>SC_MARK_MINUS</code>) pair or the
+ (<code>SC_MARK_ARROW</code>, <code>SC_MARK_ARROWDOWN</code>) pair are good choices. As well as
+ these two, more assignments are needed for the flattened tree style:
+ <code>SC_MARKNUM_FOLDEREND</code>, <code>SC_MARKNUM_FOLDERMIDTAIL</code>,
+ <code>SC_MARKNUM_FOLDEROPENMID</code>, <code>SC_MARKNUM_FOLDERSUB</code>, and
+ <code>SC_MARKNUM_FOLDERTAIL</code>. The bits used for folding are specified by
+ <code>SC_MASK_FOLDERS</code>, which is commonly used as an argument to
+ <code>SCI_SETMARGINMASKN</code> when defining a margin to be used for folding.</p>
+
+ <p>This table shows which <code>SC_MARK_</code>* symbols should be assigned to which
+ <code>SC_MARKNUM_</code>* marker numbers to obtain four folding styles: Arrow (mimics
+ Macintosh), plus/minus shows folded lines as '+' and opened folds as '-', Circle tree, Box
+ tree.</p>

+ <h2 id="Indicators">Indicators</h2>
+
+ <p>By default, Scintilla organizes the style byte associated with each text byte as 5 bits of
+ style information (for 32 styles) and 3 bits of indicator information for 3 independent
+ indicators so that, for example, syntax errors, deprecated names and bad indentation could all
+ be displayed at once. Indicators may be displayed as simple underlines, squiggly underlines, a
+ line of small 'T' shapes, a line of diagonal hatching, a strike-out or a rectangle around the text.</p>
+
+ <p>The indicators are set using <a class="message"
+ href="#SCI_STARTSTYLING"><code>SCI_STARTSTYLING</code></a> with a <code>INDICS_MASK</code> mask
+ and <a class="message" href="#SCI_SETSTYLING"><code>SCI_SETSTYLING</code></a> with the values
+ <code>INDIC0_MASK</code>, <code>INDIC1_MASK</code> and <code>INDIC2_MASK</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>If you are using indicators in a buffer that has a lexer active
+ (see <a class="message" href="#SCI_SETLEXER"><code>SCI_SETLEXER</code></a>),
+ you must save lexing state information before setting any indicators and restore it afterwards.
+ Use <a class="message" href="#SCI_GETENDSTYLED"><code>SCI_GETENDSTYLED</code></a>
+ to retrieve the current "styled to" position and
+ <a class="message" href="#SCI_STARTSTYLING"><code>SCI_STARTSTYLING</code></a>
+ to reset the styling position and mask (<code>0x1f </code> in the default layout of 5 style bits and 3 indicator bits)
+ when you are done.</p>
+
+ <p>The number of bits used for styles can be altered with <a class="message"
+ href="#SCI_SETSTYLEBITS"><code>SCI_SETSTYLEBITS</code></a> from 0 to 7 bits. The remaining bits
+ can be used for indicators, so there can be from 1 to 8 indicators. However, the
+ <code>INDIC*_MASK</code> constants defined in <code>Scintilla.h</code> all assume 5 bits of
+ styling information and 3 indicators. If you use a different arrangement, you must define your
+ own constants.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code>SCI_INDIC*</code> messages allow you to get and set the visual appearance of the
+ indicators. They all use an <code>indicatorNumber</code> argument in the range 0 to 7 to set
+ the indicator to style. With the default settings, only indicators 0, 1 and 2 will have any
+ visible effect.</p>

+
+ <p>Autocompletion displays a list box showing likely identifiers based upon the user's typing.
+ The user chooses the currently selected item by pressing the tab character or another character
+ that is a member of the fillup character set defined with <code>SCI_AUTOCSETFILLUPS</code>.
+ Autocompletion is triggered by your application. For example, in C if you detect that the user
+ has just typed <code>fred.</code> you could look up <code>fred</code>, and if it has a known
+ list of members, you could offer them in an autocompletion list. Alternatively, you could
+ monitor the user's typing and offer a list of likely items once their typing has narrowed down
+ the choice to a reasonable list. As yet another alternative, you could define a key code to
+ activate the list.</p>

+ Autocompletion list items may display an image as well as text. Each image is first registered with an integer
+ type. Then this integer is included in the text of the list separated by a '?' from the text. For example,
+ "fclose?2 fopen" displays image 2 before the string "fclose" and no image before "fopen".

+
+ <h2 id="UserLists">User lists</h2>
+
+ <p>User lists use the same internal mechanisms as autocompletion lists, and all the calls
+ listed for autocompletion work on them; you cannot display a user list at the same time as an
+ autocompletion list is active. They differ in the following respects:</p>
+
+ <p>o The <code><a class="message"
+ href="#SCI_AUTOCSETCHOOSESINGLE">SCI_AUTOCSETCHOOSESINGLE</a></code> message has no
+ effect.<br />
+ o When the user makes a selection you are sent a <code><a class="message"
+ href="#SCN_USERLISTSELECTION">SCN_USERLISTSELECTION</a></code> <a class="jump"
+ href="#Notifications">notification message</a> rather than <code><a class="message"
+ href="#SCN_AUTOCSELECTION">SCN_AUTOCSELECTION</a></code>.</p>
+
+ <p>BEWARE: if you have set fillup characters or stop characters, these will still be active
+ with the user list, and may result in items being selected or the user list cancelled due to
+ the user typing into the editor.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_USERLISTSHOW">SCI_USERLISTSHOW(int listType, const char *list)</b><br />
+ The <code>listType</code> parameter is returned to the container as the <code>wParam</code>
+ field of the <a class="message" href="#SCNotification"><code>SCNotification</code></a>
+ structure. It must be greater than 0 as this is how Scintilla tells the difference between an
+ autocompletion list and a user list. If you have different types of list, for example a list of
+ buffers and a list of macros, you can use <code>listType</code> to tell which one has returned
+ a selection. </p>
+
+ <h2 id="CallTips">Call tips</h2>
+
+ <p>Call tips are small windows displaying the arguments to a function and are displayed after
+ the user has typed the name of the function. They normally display characters using the font
+ facename, size and character set defined by
+ <code><a class="message" href="#StyleDefinition">STYLE_DEFAULT</a></code>. You can choose to
+ use <code><a class="message" href="#StyleDefinition">STYLE_CALLTIP</a></code> to define the
+ facename, size, foreground and background colours and character set with
+ <code><a class="message" href="#SCI_CALLTIPUSESTYLE">SCI_CALLTIPUSESTYLE</a></code>.
+ This also enables support for Tab characters.
+
+ There is some interaction between call tips and autocompletion lists in that showing a
+ call tip cancels any active autocompletion list, and vice versa.</p>
+
+ <p>Call tips can highlight part of the text within them. You could use this to highlight the
+ current argument to a function by counting the number of commas (or whatever separator your
+ language uses). See <code>SciTEBase::CharAdded()</code> in <code>SciTEBase.cxx</code> for an
+ example of call tip use.</p>
+
+ <p>The mouse may be clicked on call tips and this causes a
+ <code><a class="message" href="#SCN_CALLTIPCLICK">SCN_CALLTIPCLICK</a></code>
+ notification to be sent to the container. Small up an down arrows may be displayed within
+ a call tip by, respectively, including the characters '\001', or '\002'. This is useful
+ for showing that there are overloaded variants of one function name and that the user can
+ click on the arrows to cycle through the overloads.</p>
+
+ <p>Alternatively, call tips can be displayed when you leave the mouse pointer for a while over
+ a word in response to the <code><a class="message"
+ href="#SCN_DWELLSTART">SCN_DWELLSTART</a></code> <a class="jump"
+ href="#Notifications">notification</a> and cancelled in response to <code><a class="message"
+ href="#SCN_DWELLEND">SCN_DWELLEND</a></code>. This method could be used in a debugger to give
+ the value of a variable, or during editing to give information about the word under the
+ pointer.</p>

+ This message starts the process by displaying the call tip window. If a call tip is already
+ active, this has no effect.<br />
+ <code>posStart</code> is the position in the document at which to align the call tip. The call
+ tip text is aligned to start 1 line below this character unless you have included up and/or
+ down arrows in the call tip text in which case the tip is aligned to the right-hand edge of
+ the rightmost arrow. The assumption is that you will start the text with something like
+ "\001 1 of 3 \002".<br />
+ <code>definition</code> is the call tip text. This can contain multiple lines separated by
+ '\n' (Line Feed, ASCII code 10) characters. Do not include '\r' (Carriage Return, ASCII
+ code 13), as this will most likely print as an empty box. '\t' (Tab, ASCII code 9) is

+ <code>hlEnd</code> must be greater than <code>hlStart</code>; <code>hlEnd-hlStart</code> is the
+ number of characters to highlight. Highlights can extend over line ends if this is
+ required.</p>
+
+ <p>Unhighlighted text is drawn in a mid gray. Selected text is drawn in a dark blue. The

+ This message changes the style used for call tips from <code>STYLE_DEFAULT</code> to

+ A key definition contains the key code in the low 16-bits and the key modifiers in the high
+ 16-bits. To combine <code>keyCode</code> and <code>keyMod</code> set:<br />
+ <br />
+ <code>keyDefinition = keyCode + (keyMod &lt;&lt; 16)</code></p>
+
+ <p>The key code is a visible or control character or a key from the <code>SCK_*</code>

+
+ <p>The modifiers are a combination of zero or more of <code>SCMOD_ALT</code>,

+ <p><b id="SCI_FORMATRANGE">SCI_FORMATRANGE(bool bDraw, RangeToFormat *pfr)</b><br />
+ This call allows Windows users to render a range of text into a device context. If you use
+ this for printing, you will probably want to arrange a page header and footer; Scintilla does
+ not do this for you. See <code>SciTEWin::Print()</code> in <code>SciTEWinDlg.cxx</code> for an
+ example. Each use of this message renders a range of text into a rectangular area and returns
+ the position in the document of the next character to print.</p>
+
+ <p><code>bDraw</code> controls if any output is done. Set this to false if you are paginating
+ (for example, if you use this with MFC you will need to paginate in
+ <code>OnBeginPrinting()</code> before you output each page.</p>
+<pre>
+struct RangeToFormat {
+ SurfaceID hdc; // The HDC (device context) we print to
+ SurfaceID hdcTarget; // The HDC we use for measuring (may be same as hdc)

+ PRectangle rcPage; // Physically printable page size
+ CharacterRange chrg; // Range of characters to print
+};
+</pre>
+
+ <p><code>hdc</code> and <code>hdcTarget</code> should both be set to the device context handle
+ of the output device (usually a printer). If you print to a metafile these will not be the same
+ as Windows metafiles (unlike extended metafiles) do not implement the full API for returning
+ information. In this case, set <code>hdcTarget</code> to the screen DC.<br />
+ <code>rcPage</code> is the rectangle <code>{0, 0, maxX, maxY}</code> where <code>maxX+1</code>
+ and <code>maxY+1</code> are the number of physically printable pixels in x and y.<br />
+ <code>rc</code> is the rectangle to render the text in (which will, of course, fit within the
+ rectangle defined by rcPage).<br />
+ <code>chrg.cpMin</code> and <code>chrg.cpMax</code> define the start position and maximum
+ position of characters to output. All of each line within this character range is drawn.</p>
+
+ <p>When printing, the most tedious part is always working out what the margins should be to
+ allow for the non-printable area of the paper and printing a header and footer. If you look at
+ the printing code in SciTE, you will find that most of it is taken up with this. The loop that
+ causes Scintilla to render text is quite simple if you strip out all the margin, non-printable
+ area, header and footer code.</p>

+ These two functions get and set the printer wrap mode. <code>wrapMode</code> can be
+ set to <code>SC_WRAP_NONE</code> (0), <code>SC_WRAP_WORD</code> (1) or
+ <code>SC_WRAP_CHAR</code> (2). The default is
+ <code>SC_WRAP_WORD</code>, which wraps printed output so that all characters fit
+ into the print rectangle. If you set <code>SC_WRAP_NONE</code>, each line of text
+ generates one line of output and the line is truncated if it is too long to fit
+ into the print area.<br />
+ <code>SC_WRAP_WORD</code> tries to wrap only between words as indicated by
+ white space or style changes although if a word is longer than a line, it will be wrapped before
+ the line end. <code>SC_WRAP_CHAR</code> is preferred to

+
+ <p>On Windows, the message-passing scheme used to communicate between the container and
+ Scintilla is mediated by the operating system <code>SendMessage</code> function and can lead to
+ bad performance when calling intensively. To avoid this overhead, Scintilla provides messages
+ that allow you to call the Scintilla message function directly. The code to do this in C/C++ is
+ of the form:</p>
+<pre>
+#include "Scintilla.h"
+SciFnDirect pSciMsg = (SciFnDirect)SendMessage(hSciWnd, SCI_GETDIRECTFUNCTION, 0, 0);
+sptr_t pSciWndData = (sptr_t)SendMessage(hSciWnd, SCI_GETDIRECTPOINTER, 0, 0);
+
+// now a wrapper to call Scintilla directly
+sptr_t CallScintilla(unsigned int iMessage, uptr_t wParam, sptr_t lParam){
+ return pSciMsg(pSciWndData, iMessage, wParam, lParam);
+}
+</pre>
+
+ <p><code>SciFnDirect</code>, <code>sptr_t</code> and <code>uptr_t</code> are declared in
+ <code>Scintilla.h</code>. <code>hSciWnd</code> is the window handle returned when you created
+ the Scintilla window.</p>
+
+ <p>While faster, this direct calling will cause problems if performed from a different thread
+ to the native thread of the Scintilla window in which case <code>SendMessage(hSciWnd, SCI_*,
+ wParam, lParam)</code> should be used to synchronize with the window's thread.</p>
+
+ <p>This feature also works on GTK+ but has no significant impact on speed.</p>
+
+ <p>From version 1.47 on Windows, Scintilla exports a function called
+ <code>Scintilla_DirectFunction</code> that can be used the same as the function returned by
+ <code>SCI_GETDIRECTFUNCTION</code>. This saves you the call to
+ <code>SCI_GETDIRECTFUNCTION</code> and the need to call Scintilla indirectly via the function
+ pointer.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_GETDIRECTFUNCTION">SCI_GETDIRECTFUNCTION</b><br />
+ This message returns the address of the function to call to handle Scintilla messages without
+ the overhead of passing through the Windows messaging system. You need only call this once,
+ regardless of the number of Scintilla windows you create.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_GETDIRECTPOINTER">SCI_GETDIRECTPOINTER</b><br />
+ This returns a pointer to data that identifies which Scintilla window is in use. You must call
+ this once for each Scintilla window you create. When you call the direct function, you must
+ pass in the direct pointer associated with the target window.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="MultipleViews">Multiple views</h2>
+
+ <p>A Scintilla window and the document that it displays are separate entities. When you create
+ a new window, you also create a new, empty document. Each document has a reference count that
+ is initially set to 1. The document also has a list of the Scintilla windows that are linked to
+ it so when any window changes the document, all other windows in which it appears are notified
+ to cause them to update. The system is arranged in this way so that you can work with many
+ documents in a single Scintilla window and so you can display a single document in multiple
+ windows (for use with splitter windows).</p>
+
+ <p>Although these messages use <code>document *pDoc</code>, to ensure compatibility with future
+ releases of Scintilla you should treat <code>pDoc</code> as an opaque <code>void*</code>. That
+ is, you can use and store the pointer as described in this section but you should not
+ dereference it.</p>

+ 5. If <code>pDoc</code> was 0, a new, empty document is created and attached to the

+ <code>SCI_SETDOCPOINTER</code> so that the Scintilla window owns it or you must make sure that
+ you reduce the reference count by 1 with <code>SCI_RELEASEDOCUMENT</code> before you close the
+ application to avoid memory leaks.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_ADDREFDOCUMENT">SCI_ADDREFDOCUMENT(&lt;unused&gt;, document *pDoc)</b><br />

+ are editing many documents in one window, do the following:<br />
+ 1. Use <code>SCI_GETDOCPOINTER</code> to get a pointer to the document,
+ <code>pDoc</code>.<br />
+ 2. Use <code>SCI_ADDREFDOCUMENT(0, pDoc)</code> to increment the reference count.<br />
+ 3. Use <code>SCI_SETDOCPOINTER(0, pNewDoc)</code> to set a different document or
+ <code>SCI_SETDOCPOINTER(0, 0)</code> to set a new, empty document.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_RELEASEDOCUMENT">SCI_RELEASEDOCUMENT(&lt;unused&gt;, document *pDoc)</b><br />
+ This message reduces the reference count of the document identified by <code>pDoc</code>. pDoc
+ must be the result of <code>SCI_GETDOCPOINTER</code> or <code>SCI_CREATEDOCUMENT</code> and
+ must point at a document that still exists. If you call this on a document with a reference
+ count of 1 that is still attached to a Scintilla window, bad things will happen. To keep the
+ world spinning in its orbit you must balance each call to <code>SCI_CREATEDOCUMENT</code> or
+ <code>SCI_ADDREFDOCUMENT</code> with a call to <code>SCI_RELEASEDOCUMENT</code>.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="Folding">Folding</h2>
+
+ <p>The fundamental operation in folding is making lines invisible or visible. Line visibility
+ is a property of the view rather than the document so each view may be displaying a different
+ set of lines. From the point of view of the user, lines are hidden and displayed using fold
+ points. Generally, the fold points of a document are based on the hierarchical structure of the
+ document contents. In Python, the hierarchy is determined by indentation and in C++ by brace
+ characters. This hierarchy can be represented within a Scintilla document object by attaching a
+ numeric "fold level" to each line. The fold level is most easily set by a lexer, but you can
+ also set it with messages.</p>
+
+ <p>It is up to your code to set the connection between user actions and folding and unfolding.
+ The best way to see how this is done is to search the SciTE source code for the messages used
+ in this section of the documentation and see how they are used. You will also need to use
+ markers and a folding margin to complete your folding implementation.
+ The <code>"fold"</code> property should be set to <code>"1"</code> with
+ <code>SCI_SETPROPERTY("fold", "1")</code> to enable folding. </p>

+ <code>SC_FOLDLEVELBASE</code> (1024) to allow unsigned arithmetic on folding levels. There are
+ two addition flag bits. <code>SC_FOLDLEVELWHITEFLAG</code> indicates that the line is blank and
+ allows it to be treated slightly different then its level may indicate. For example, blank
+ lines should generally not be fold points and will be considered part of the preceding section even though
+ they may have a lesser fold level.
+ <code>SC_FOLDLEVELHEADERFLAG</code> indicates that

+
+ <p>Use <code>SCI_GETFOLDLEVEL(line) &amp; SC_FOLDLEVELNUMBERMASK</code> to get the fold level

+
+ <p>By default, Scintilla does not wrap lines of text. If you enable line wrapping, lines wider
+ than the window width are continued on the following lines. Lines are broken after space or tab
+ characters or between runs of different styles. If this is not possible because a word in one
+ style is wider than the window then the break occurs after the last character that completely
+ fits on the line. The horizontal scroll bar does not appear when wrap mode is on.</p>
+
+ <p>For wrapped lines Scintilla can draw visual flags (little arrows) at end of a a subline of a
+ wrapped line and at begin of the next subline. These can be enabled individually, but if Scintilla
+ draws the visual flag at begin of the next subline this subline will be indented by one char.
+ Independent from drawing a visual flag at the begin the subline can have an indention.</p>
+
+ <p>Much of the time used by Scintilla is spent on laying out and drawing text. The same text
+ layout calculations may be performed many times even when the data used in these calculations
+ does not change. To avoid these unnecessary calculations in some circumstances, the line layout
+ cache can store the results of the calculations. The cache is invalidated whenever the
+ underlying data, such as the contents or styling of the document changes. Caching the layout of
+ the whole document has the most effect, making dynamic line wrap as much as 20 times faster but
+ this requires 7 times the memory required by the document contents plus around 80 bytes per
+ line.</p>
+
+ <p>Wrapping is not performed immediately there is a change but is delayed until the display
+ is redrawn. This delay improves peformance by allowing a set of changes to be performed
+ and then wrapped and displayed once. Because of this, some operations may not occur as
+ expected. If a file is read and the scroll position moved to a particular line in the text,
+ such as occurs when a container tries to restore a previous editing session, then
+ the scroll position will have been determined before wrapping so an unexpected range
+ of text will be displayed. To scroll to the position correctly, delay the scroll until the
+ wrapping has been performed by waiting for an initial

+ <p>If you define the symbol <code>SCI_LEXER</code> when building Scintilla, (this is sometimes

+ styling and fold points for an unsupported language you can either do this in the container or
+ better still, write your own lexer following the pattern of one of the existing ones.</p>
+
+ <p>Scintilla also supports external lexers. These are DLLs (on Windows) or .so modules (on GTK+/Linux) that export four
+ functions: <code>GetLexerCount</code>, <code>GetLexerName</code>, <code>Lex</code> and
+ <code>Fold</code>. See <code>externalLexer.cxx</code> for more.</p>

+ You can select the lexer to use with an integer code from the <code>SCLEX_*</code> enumeration
+ in <code>Scintilla.h</code>. There are two codes in this sequence that do not use lexers:
+ <code>SCLEX_NULL</code> to select no lexing action and <code>SCLEX_CONTAINER</code> which sends
+ the <code><a class="message" href="#SCN_STYLENEEDED">SCN_STYLENEEDED</a></code> notification to
+ the container whenever a range of text needs to be styled. You cannot use the
+ <code>SCLEX_AUTOMATIC</code> value; this identifies additional external lexers that Scintilla
+ assigns unused lexer numbers to.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETLEXERLANGUAGE">SCI_SETLEXERLANGUAGE(&lt;unused&gt;, const char *name)</b><br />
+ This message lets you select a lexer by name, and is the only method if you are using an
+ external lexer or if you have written a lexer module for a language of your own and do not wish
+ to assign it an explicit lexer number. To select an existing lexer, set <code>name</code> to
+ match the (case sensitive) name given to the module, for example "ada" or "python", not "Ada"
+ or "Python". To locate the name for the built-in lexers, open the relevant
+ <code>Lex*.cxx</code> file and search for <code>LexerModule</code>. The third argument in the
+ <code>LexerModule</code> constructor is the name to use.</p>
+
+ <p>To test if your lexer assignment worked, use <a class="message"
+ href="#SCI_GETLEXER"><code>SCI_GETLEXER</code></a> before and after setting the new lexer to
+ see if the lexer number changed.</p>

+ This requests the current lexer or the container (if the lexer is set to
+ <code>SCLEX_CONTAINER</code>) to style the document between <code>startPos</code> and
+ <code>endPos</code>. If <code>endPos</code> is -1, the document is styled from
+ <code>startPos</code> to the end. If the <code>"fold"</code> property is set to
+ <code>"1"</code> and your lexer or container supports folding, fold levels are also set. This
+ message causes a redraw.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETPROPERTY">SCI_SETPROPERTY(const char *key, const char *value)</b><br />
+ You can communicate settings to lexers with keyword:value string pairs. There is no limit to
+ the number of keyword pairs you can set, other than available memory. <code>key</code> is a
+ case sensitive keyword, <code>value</code> is a string that is associated with the keyword. If
+ there is already a value string associated with the keyword, it is replaced. If you pass a zero
+ length string, the message does nothing. Both <code>key</code> and <code>value</code> are used
+ without modification; extra spaces at the beginning or end of <code>key</code> are
+ significant.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code>value</code> string can refer to other keywords. For example,
+ <code>SCI_SETPROPERTY("foldTimes10", "$(fold)0")</code> stores the string
+ <code>"$(fold)0"</code>, but when this is accessed, the <code>$(fold)</code> is replaced by the
+ value of the <code>"fold"</code> keyword (or by nothing if this keyword does not exist).</p>
+
+ <p>Currently the "fold" property is defined for most of the lexers to set the fold structure if
+ set to "1". <code>SCLEX_PYTHON</code> understands <code>"tab.timmy.whinge.level"</code> as a
+ setting that determines how to indicate bad indentation. Most keywords have values that are
+ interpreted as integers. Search the lexer sources for <code>GetPropertyInt</code> to see how
+ properties are used.</p>

+ a number, then return 0.</p>
+
+ <p>Note that "keyword replacement" as described in <a class="message" href="#SCI_SETPROPERTY">
+ <code>SCI_SETPROPERTY</code></a> will be performed before any numeric interpretation.</p>
+
+ <p><b id="SCI_SETKEYWORDS">SCI_SETKEYWORDS(int keyWordSet, const char *keyWordList)</b><br />
+ You can set up to 9 lists of keywords for use by the current lexer. This was increased from 6
+ at revision 1.50. <code>keyWordSet</code> can be 0 to 8 (actually 0 to <code>KEYWORDSET_MAX</code>)
+ and selects which keyword list to replace. <code>keyWordList</code> is a list of keywords
+ separated by spaces, tabs, <code>"\n"</code> or <code>"\r"</code> or any combination of these.
+ It is expected that the keywords will be composed of standard ASCII printing characters,
+ but there is nothing to stop you using any non-separator character codes from 1 to 255
+ (except common sense).</p>
+
+ <p>How these keywords are used is entirely up to the lexer. Some languages, such as HTML may
+ contain embedded languages, VBScript and JavaScript are common for HTML. For HTML, key word set
+ 0 is for HTML, 1 is for JavaScript and 2 is for VBScript, 3 is for Python, 4 is for PHP and 5
+ is for SGML and DTD keywords. Review the lexer code to see examples of keyword list. A fully
+ conforming lexer sets the fourth argument of the <code>LexerModule</code> constructor to be a
+ list of strings that describe the uses of the keyword lists.</p>
+
+ <p>Alternatively, you might use set 0 for general keywords, set 1 for keywords that cause
+ indentation and set 2 for keywords that cause unindentation. Yet again, you might have a simple
+ lexer that colours keywords and you could change languages by changing the keywords in set 0.
+ There is nothing to stop you building your own keyword lists into the lexer, but this means
+ that the lexer must be rebuilt if more keywords are added.</p>

+ <p>Scintilla tries to be a superset of the standard windows Edit and RichEdit controls wherever
+ that makes sense. As it is not intended for use in a word processor, some edit messages can not
+ be sensibly handled. Unsupported messages have no effect.</p>
+
+ <h2 id="BuildingScintilla">Building Scintilla</h2>
+
+ <p>To build Scintilla or SciTE, see the README file present in both the Scintilla and SciTE
+ directories. For Windows, GCC 3.2, Borland C++ or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET can be used
+ for building. There is a make file for building Scintilla but not SciTE with Visual C++ 6 at
+ scintilla/win32/scintilla_vc6.mak. For GTK+, GCC 3.1 should be used. GTK+ 1.2x and 2.0x are
+ supported. The version of GTK+ installed should be detected automatically.
+ When both GTK+ 1 and GTK+ 2 are present, building for GTK+ 1.x requires defining GTK1
+ on the command line.</p>
+
+ <h3>Static linking</h3>
+
+ <p>On Windows, Scintilla is normally used as a dynamic library as a .DLL file. If you want to
+ link Scintilla directly into your application .EXE or .DLL file, then the
+ <code>STATIC_BUILD</code> preprocessor symbol should be defined and
+ <code>Scintilla_RegisterClasses</code> called. <code>STATIC_BUILD</code> prevents compiling the
+ <code>DllMain</code> function which will conflict with any <code>DllMain</code> defined in your
+ code. <code>Scintilla_RegisterClasses</code> takes the <code>HINSTANCE</code> of your
+ application and ensures that the "Scintilla" window class is registered. To make sure that the
+ right pointing arrow cursor used in the margin is displayed by Scintilla add the
+ <code>scintilla/win32/Margin.cur</code> file to your application's resources with the ID
+ <code>IDC_MARGIN</code> which is defined in <code>scintilla/win32/platfromRes.h</code> as
+ 400.</p>
+
+ <h3>Ensuring lexers are linked into Scintilla</h3>
+
+ <p>Depending on the compiler and linker used, the lexers may be stripped out. This is most
+ often caused when building a static library. To ensure the lexers are linked in, the
+ <code>Scintilla_LinkLexers()</code> function may be called.</p>
+
+ <h3>Changing set of lexers</h3>
+
+ <p>To change the set of lexers in Scintilla, add and remove lexer source files
+ (<code>Lex*.cxx</code>) from the <code>scintilla/src directory</code> and run the
+ <code>src/LexGen.py</code> script from the <code>src</code> directory to update the make files
+ and <code>KeyWords.cxx</code>. <code>LexGen.py</code> requires Python 2.1 or later. If you do
+ not have access to Python, you can hand edit <code>KeyWords.cxx</code> in a simple-minded way,
+ following the patterns of other lexers. The important thing is to include
+ <code>LINK_LEXER(lmMyLexer);</code> to correspond with the <code>LexerModule
+ lmMyLexer(...);</code> in your lexer source code.</p>

+ <h3>
+ <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scintilla/scite171.zip?download">Release 1.71</a>
+ </h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Released on 21 August 2006.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ On GTK+ drag and drop defaults to move rather than copy.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Double click notification includes line and position.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ VB lexer bugs fixed for preprocessor directive below a comment or some other states and
+ to use string not closed style back to the starting quote when there are internal doubled quotes.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ C++ lexer allows identifiers to contain '$' and non-ASCII characters such as UTF-8.
+ The '$' character can be disallowed with lexer.cpp.allow.dollars=0.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Perl lexer allows UTF-8 identifiers and has some other small improvements.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE's $(CurrentWord) uses word.characters.&lt;filepattern&gt; to define the word
+ rather than a hardcoded list of word characters.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE Export as HTML adds encoding information for UTF-8 file and fixes DOCTYPE.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE session and .recent files default to the user properties directory rather than global
+ properties directory.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Left and right scroll events handled correctly on GTK+ and horizontal scroll bar has more sensible
+ distances for page and arrow clicks.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE on GTK+ tab bar fixed to work on recent versions of GTK+.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ On GTK+, if the approximate character set conversion is unavailable, a second attempt is made
+ without approximations. This may allow keyboard input and paste to work on older systems.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE on GTK+ can redefine the Insert key.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE scripting interface bug fixed where some string properties could not be changed.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h3>
+ <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scintilla/scite170.zip?download">Release 1.70</a>
+ </h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Released on 20 June 2006.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ On GTK+, character set conversion is performed using an option that allows approximate conversions rather
+ than failures when a character can not be converted. This may lead to similar characters being inserted or
+ when no similar character is available a '?' may be inserted.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ On GTK+, the internationalised IM (Input Method) feature is used for all typed input for all character sets.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Scintilla has new margin types SC_MARGIN_BACK and SC_MARGIN_FORE that use the default
+ style's background and foreground colours (normally white and black) as the background to the margin.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Scintilla/GTK+ allows file drops on Windows when drop is of type DROPFILES_DND
+ as well as text/uri-list.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Code page can only be set to one of the listed valid values.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Text wrapping fixed for cases where insertion was not wide enough to trigger
+ wrapping before being styled but was after styling.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE find marks are removed before printing or exporting to avoid producing incorrect styles.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h3>
+ <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scintilla/scite169.zip?download">Release 1.69</a>
+ </h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Released on 29 May 2006.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE supports z-order based buffer switching on Ctrl+Tab.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Translucent support for selection and whole line markers.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE may have per-language abbreviations files.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Support for Spice language.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ On GTK+ autocompletion lists are optimised and use correct selection colours.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ On GTK+ the URI data type is preferred in drag and drop so that applications
+ will see files dragged from the shell rather than dragging the text of the file name
+ into the document.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Increased number of margins to 5.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Basic lexer allows include directive $include: "file name".
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SQL lexer no longer bases folding on indentation.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Line ends are transformed when copied to clipboard on
+ Windows/GTK+2 as well as Windows/GTK+ 1.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Lexing code masks off the indicator bits on the start style before calling the lexer
+ to avoid confusing the lexer when an application has used an indicator.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE savebefore:yes only saves the file when it has been changed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE adds output.initial.hide setting to allow setting the size of the output pane
+ without it showing initially.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE on Windows Go To dialog allows line number with more digits.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug in HTML lexer fixed where a segment of PHP could switch scripting language
+ based on earlier text on that line.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Memory bug fixed when freeing regions on GTK+.
+ Other minor bugs fixed on GTK+.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Deprecated GTK+ calls in Scintilla replaced with current calls.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Fixed a SciTE bug where closing the final buffer, if read-only, left the text present in an
+ untitled buffer.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fixed in bash lexer that prevented folding.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Crash fixed in bash lexer when backslash at end of file.
+ </li>
+ <li>

+ <li>
+ Fix for SciTE properties files where multiline properties continued over completely blank lines.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fixed in SciTE/GTK+ director interface where more data available than
+ buffer size.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Minor visual fixes to SciTE splitter on GTK+.
+ </li>
+ </ul>

+ <h3>
+ <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scintilla/scite167.zip?download">Release 1.67</a>
+ </h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Released on 17 December 2005.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Scintilla checks the paint region more accurately when seeing if an area is being
+ repainted. Platform layer implementations may need to change for this to take
+ effect. This fixes some drawing and styling bugs. Also optimized some parts of
+ marker code to only redraw the line of the marker rather than whole of the margin.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Quoted identifier style for SQL. SQL folding performed more simply.
+ </li>

+ current lexer.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Selection duplicate added.

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ DBCS encodings work on Windows 9x.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Convention defined for property names to be used by lexers and folders
+ so they can be automatically discovered and forwarded from containers.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Default bookmark in SciTE changed to a blue sphere image.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE stores the time of last asking for a save separately for each buffer
+ which fixes bugs with automatic reloading.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ On Windows, pasted text has line ends converted to current preference.
+ GTK+ already did this.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Kid template language better handled by HTML lexer by finishing ASP Python
+ mode when a ?> is found.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE counts number of characters in a rectangular selection correctly.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ 64-bit compatibility improved. One change that may affect user code is that
+ the notification message header changed to include a pointer-sized id field
+ to match the current Windows definition.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Empty ranges can no longer be dragged.
+ </li>
+ <li>

+ active file.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE allows choosing a code page for the output pane.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE HTML exporter no longer honours monospaced font setting.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Line layout cache in page mode caches the line of the caret. An assertion is
+ now used to ensure that the layout reentrancy problem that caused this
+ is easier to find.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Speed optimized for long lines and lines containing many control characters.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fixed in brace matching in DBCS files where byte inside character
+ is same as brace.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Indent command does not indent empty lines.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE bug fixed for commands that operate on files with empty extensions.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE bug fixed where monospaced option was copied for subsequently opened files.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE on Windows bug fixed in the display of a non-ASCII search string
+ which can not be found.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bugs fixed with nested calls displaying a new calltip while one is already
+ displayed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fixed when styling PHP strings.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug fixed when styling C++ continued preprocessor lines.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE bug fixed where opening file from recently used list reset choice of
+ language.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE bug fixed when compiled with NO_EXTENSIONS and
+ closing one file closes the application.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE crash fixed for error messages that look like Lua messages but aren't
+ in the same order.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Remaining fold box support deprecated. The symbols SC_FOLDLEVELBOXHEADERFLAG,
+ SC_FOLDLEVELBOXFOOTERFLAG, SC_FOLDLEVELCONTRACTED,
+ SC_FOLDLEVELUNINDENT, and SC_FOLDFLAG_BOX are deprecated.
+ </li>

+ <li>
+ SciTE Find in Files dialog has options for matching case and whole words which are
+ enabled when the internal find command is used.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SciTE output pane can display automatic completion after "$(" typed.
+ An initial ">" on a line is ignored when Enter pressed.

+ </h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Released on 9 September 2002.

+ GTK+ version now contains all features of Windows version with some very small differences.
+ Executing programs works much better now.

+ New palette code to allow more colours to be displayed in 256 colour screen modes. A line
+ number column can be displayed to the left of the selection margin.

+ The code that maps from line numbers to text positions and back has been completely
+ rewritten to be faster, and to allow markers to move with the text.

+ </h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Released on 29 April 1999, containing working GTK+/Linux version.

+ </h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Released on 30th March 1999, containing bug fixes and a few more features.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Static linking supported and Tidy.EXE, a statically linked version of Tide.EXE. Changes to
+ compiler flags in the makefiles to optimise for size.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Scintilla supports a 'savepoint' in the undo stack which can be set by the container when
+ the document is saved. Notifications are sent to the container when the savepoint is
+ entered or left, allowing the container to to display a dirty indicator and change its
+ menus.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ When Scintilla is set to read-only mode, a notification is sent to the container should the
+ user try to edit the document. This can be used to check the document out of a version
+ control system.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ There is an API for setting the appearance of indicators.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The keyboard mapping can be redefined or removed so it can be implemented completely by the
+ container. All of the keyboard commands are now commands which can be sent by the
+ container.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A home command like Visual C++ with one hit going to the start of the text on the line and
+ the next going to the left margin is available. I do not personally like this but my
+ fingers have become trained to it by much repetition.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SCI_MARKERDELETEALL has an argument in wParam which is the number of the type marker to
+ delete with -1 performing the old action of removing all marker types.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Tide now understands both the file name and line numbers in error messages in most cases.
+ </li>

+ Bugs and To Do List
+ </h2>
+ <h3>
+ Feedback
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ Issues can be reported on the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2439&atid=102439">Bug Tracker</a>
+ and features requested on the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2439&atid=352439">Feature Request Tracker</a>.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Scintilla Bugs
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ At the end of italics style runs characters can be chopped off. An example
+ is using Verdana 12 point italics for strings makes an ending double quote
+ half visible and an ending single quote invisible. This is hard to solve
+ completely, may be better to avoid these situations by, for example,
+ choosing a font like Times New Roman for strings. There is a specific kluge
+ for the end of line which adds some room for italics but this does not
+ work elsewhere.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Dragging over bold text in some fonts will ripple because of the difference in
+ size between drawing all of a string at once and drawing it in parts.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Automatic scrolling when text dragged near edge of window.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ GTK+ Version Bugs
+ </h3>
+ <h3>
+ Scintilla To Do
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ Folding for languages that don't have it yet and good folding for languages
+ that inherited poor folding from another languages folding code.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Simple pattern based styling.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Different height lines based upon tallest text on the line rather than on the tallest style
+ possible.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Composition of lexing for mixed languages (such as ASP+ over COBOL) by
+ combining lexers.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Printing support on GTK+. Maybe Postscript output or use Gnome?
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Stream folding which could be used to fold up the contents of HTML elements.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Persisting view state such as current folding into a stream or blob so it is easy
+ to restore.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Move line up and move line down keys or move selected lines up / down.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Printing of highlight lines and folding margin.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Flow diagrams inside editor similar to
+ <a href="http://www.eng.auburn.edu/grasp/grasp_main.shtml">
+ GRASP</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A VCL component wrapper around Scintilla so it can be used with Delphi or
+ Borland C++ Builder.
+ There is <a href="http://www.pnotepad.org/scintilla/">some work</a>
+ on this available.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Port to MacOS X.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ More lexers for other languages.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Automatically calculated range for horizontal scrolling.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Virtual space at the end of lines so the caret can be moved beyond the end
+ of lines with the cursor keys. May also make rectangular operations easier
+ to perform.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ SciTE To Do
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ Good regular expression support through a plugin.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Allow tools to transform the selection, performing an operation like
+ indentation or sorting.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Allow file name based selection on all properties rather than just a chosen few.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Opening from and saving to FTP servers.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Setting to fold away comments upon opening.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ User defined fold ranges.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Silent mode that does not display any message boxes.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Features I am unlikely to do
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ These are features I don't like or don't think are important enough to work on.
+ Implementations are welcome from others though.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Automatically saving modified menu shortcuts on exit.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Mouse wheel panning (press the mouse wheel and then move the mouse) on
+ Windows.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Adding options to the save dialog to save in a particular encoding or with a
+ chosen line ending.
+ </p>
+ <h3>
+ Directions
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ The main point of this development is Scintilla, and this is where most effort will
+ go. SciTE will get new features, but only when they make my life easier - I am
+ not intending to make it grow up to be a huge full-function IDE like Visual
+ Cafe. The lines I've currently decided not to step over in SciTE are any sort of
+ project facility and any configuration dialogs. SciTE for Windows now has a
+ Director interface for communicating with a separate project manager
+ application.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you are interested in contributing code, do not feel any need to make it cross
+ platform.
+ Just code it for your platform and I'll either reimplement for the other platform or
+ ensure that there is no effect on the other platform.

+ <h2>
+ Implementing Auto-Indent
+ </h2>
+ <p>
+ The key idea is to use the SCN_CHARADDED notification to add indentation after a newline.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The lParam on the notification is a pointer to a SCNotification structure whose ch member
+ specifies the character added. If a newline was added, the previous line can be retrieved and
+ the same indentation can be added to the new line.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Here is the relevant portion of code from SciTE: (SciTE.cxx SciTEWindow::CharAdded)

+ Implementing Syntax Styling

+ <p>
+ Syntax styling is handled by the SCN_STYLENEEDED notification. Scintilla keeps track of the
+ end of the styled text - this is retrieved with SCI_GETENDSTYLED. In response to the
+ SCN_STYLENEEDED notification, you should apply styles to the text from ENDSTYLED to the
+ position specified by the notification.

+<html><head><meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"><title>How to use the Scintilla Edit Control in windows?</title></head><body bgcolor="#ffffff">
+ <p><h2>How to use the Scintilla Edit Control in windows?</h2>
+ <p>
+ This should be a little step by step explanation how to use Scintilla in the windows environment.
+ </p>
+ </p>
+ <p><h2>How to create Scintilla Edit Control?</h2>
+ <p>
+ First of all, load the Scintilla DLL with something like:
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+
+ hmod = LoadLibrary(&quot;SciLexer.DLL&quot;);
+ if (hmod==NULL)
+ {
+ MessageBox(hwndParent,
+ &quot;The Scintilla DLL could not be loaded.&quot;,
+ &quot;Error loading Scintilla&quot;,
+ MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
+ }
+ </pre>
+ <p>
+ If the DLL was loaded successfully, then the DLL has registered (yes, by itself) a new
+ window class. The new class called &quot;Scintilla&quot; is the new scintilla edit control.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Now you can use this new control just like any other windows control.
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+
+ hwndScintilla = CreateWindowEx(0,
+ &quot;Scintilla&quot;,&quot;&quot;, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | WS_CLIPCHILDREN,
+ 10,10,500,400,hwndParent,(HMENU)GuiID, hInstance,NULL);
+ </pre>
+ <p>
+ Note the new window class name: &quot;Scintilla&quot;. By reaching this point you actually included
+ a Scintilla Edit Control to your windows program.
+ </p>
+ </p>
+ <p><h2>How to control the Scintilla Edit Control?</h2>
+ <p>
+ You can control Scintilla by sending commands to the Edit Control.
+ There a 2 ways of doing this. A simple and fast way.
+ </p>
+ <p><h3>The simple way to control Scintilla</h3>
+ <p>
+ The simple way is just like with any other windows control. You can send messages to the
+ Scintilla Edit Control and receive notifications from the control. (Note that the notifications
+ are sent to the parent window of the Scintilla Edit Control.)
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The Scintilla Edit Control knows a special message for each command.
+ To send commands to the Scintilla Edit Control you can use the SendMessage function.
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+
+ SendMessage(hwndScintilla,sci_command,wparam,lparam);
+ </pre>
+ <p>
+ like:
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+
+ SendMessage(hwndScintilla,SCI_CREATEDOCUMENT, 0, 0);
+ </pre>
+ <p>
+ Some of the commands will return a value and unused parameters should be set to NULL.
+ </p>
+ </p>
+ <p><h3>The fast way to control Scintilla</h3>
+ <p>
+ The fast way of controlling the Scintilla Edit Control is to call message handling function by yourself.
+ You can retrieve a pointer to the message handling function of the Scintilla Edit Control and
+ call it directly to execute a command. This way is much more faster than the SendMessage() way.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ 1st you have to use the SCI_GETDIRECTFUNCTION and SCI_GETDIRECTPOINTER commands to
+ retrieve the pointer to the function and a pointer which must be the first parameter when calling the retrieved
+ function pointer.
+ You have to do this with the SendMessage way :)
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The whole thing has to look like this:
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+
+ int (*fn)(void*,int,int,int);
+ void * ptr;
+ int canundo;
+
+ fn = (int (__cdecl *)(void *,int,int,int))SendMessage(
+ hwndScintilla,SCI_GETDIRECTFUNCTION,0,0);
+ ptr = (void *)SendMessage(hwndScintilla,SCI_GETDIRECTPOINTER,0,0);
+
+ canundo = fn(ptr,SCI_CANUNDO,0,0);
+ </pre>
+ <p>
+ with &quot;fn&quot; as the function pointer to the message handling function of the Scintilla Control
+ and &quot;ptr&quot; as the pointer that must be used as 1st parameter.
+ The next parameters are the Scintilla Command with its two (optional) parameters.
+ </p>
+
+ </p>
+ <p><h3>How will I receive notifications?</h3>
+ <p>
+ Whenever an event occurs where Scintilla wants to inform you about something, the Scintilla Edit Control
+ will send notification to the parent window. This is done by a WM_NOTITY message.
+ When receiving that message, you have to look in the xxx struct for the actual message.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ So in Scintillas parent window message handling function you have to include some code like this:
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+ NMHDR *lpnmhdr;
+
+ [...]
+
+ case WM_NOTIFY:
+ lpnmhdr = (LPNMHDR) lParam;
+
+ if(lpnmhdr-&gt;hwndFrom==hwndScintilla)
+ {
+ switch(lpnmhdr-&gt;code)
+ {
+ case SCN_CHARADDED:
+ /* Hey, Scintilla just told me that a new */
+ /* character was added to the Edit Control.*/
+ /* Now i do something cool with that char. */
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+ break;
+ </pre>
+ </p>
+ </p>

+ <a href="http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/ScintillaDoc.html">Scintilla</a> is a free source code editing component.
+ It comes with complete source code and a <a href="http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/License.txt">license</a> that
+ permits use in any free project or commercial product.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ As well as features found in standard text editing components, Scintilla includes features
+ especially useful when editing and debugging source code.
+ These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips.
+ The selection margin can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate
+ breakpoints and the current line. Styling choices are more open than with many editors,
+ allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background
+ colours and multiple fonts.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The <a href="http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SinkWorld.html">SinkWorld project</a>
+ investigates possible future directions for Scintilla to make it more flexible, robust, perform
+ better and run on the .NET and Java virtual machines.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <a href="http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTE.html">SciTE</a> is a SCIntilla based Text Editor. Originally built to
+ demonstrate Scintilla, it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities for
+ building and running programs. It is best used for jobs with simple configurations - I use it
+ for building test and demonstration programs as well as SciTE and Scintilla, themselves.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Development of Scintilla started as an effort to improve the text editor in PythonWin. After
+ being frustrated by problems in the Richedit control used by PythonWin, it looked like the
+ best way forward was to write a new edit control. The biggest problem with Richedit and other
+ similar controls is that they treat styling changes as important persistent changes to the
+ document so they are saved into the undo stack and set the document's dirty flag. For source
+ code, styling should not be persisted as it can be mechanically recreated.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Scintilla and SciTE are currently available for Intel Win32 and Linux compatible operating
+ systems with GTK+. They have been run on Windows 95, NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and on Red Hat
+ Linux 8 and 9 with GTK+ 1.2 and 2.0. <a href="http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTEImage.html">Here is a screenshot of
