This is really just for fun, but I'd like to create sort of an IDE...

Hopefully able to text fold, have syntax highlighting, and have a directory of functions/etc.

-- I don't need any compiling, or any building or anything like that in my finished project.

I guess the best description is that it is an IDE for a scripting program...

Anyway, i was wondering if anyone knew of any SDK's or anything that would hopefully allow me to do this without fully programming everything... I don't think I am ready/willing to make all the code for all the stuff...

A good example is http://www.econtrol.ru/syntedit.html . But it doesn't support all i want to do, and I dislike it...

Scintilla is a popular Source code editing component, which is used in notepad++, my favorite text editor currently. Sounds like what you are after. http://www.scintilla.org/

wxWidgets have some styled text controls which are wrappers based on Scintilla. Not tried them out myself so I can't comment on any of them.

Hey, i was wondering what IDE should i use to compile/make my app with scintilla?

Secondly, is there any link you got for a tutorial that teaches how to use a "component?" in C++...

I'm pretty new to C, I was basically hoping on doing this to learn more about it... But i'm just plain stuck already at installing it xD.

-- I've got Visual Studio 2008 and all that crap, so i was hoping on using VC++... Does that work well with Scintilla?
