PM: REALbasic TextArea Syntax highlighting tutorial

Posted by Jakub Pawlak in Tutorials Mar 13th, 2010 | 4 responses

Syntax highlighting is a feature of some text editors that display text-especially source code-in different colors and fonts according to the category of terms. Here is a nice and small starting point tutorial showing how can you create this kind of effect in REALbasic.

Creating the GUI for TextArea Syntax highlighting

Add to Window1 one TextField Control. Now go to TextField Sub () TextChange and enter some code… Before we start there are some things to clarify. First – this is only a starting point for creating inline text checking and it works only after typing. So I mean by this that there is no option to get for example to first line (after typing 10) and add some change to code (at least as expected). But as I mentioned earlier this is a good start tutorial, so you can create own REALbasic TextArea Syntax highlighting Class. Hope you will enjoy it!
