LaKraven/TBCEditor: An editor control for RAD Studio

Version 1.5.2. Use the Issues page to report bugs or send them directly to [email protected].

Note! Current trunk should never be considered as a stable version. Use the latest release version instead.

Description

A syntax highlighting edit control for RAD Studio (Delphi/C++ Builder) with code folding, completion proposal, matching pair, minimap, sync edit, word wrap, etc. External highlighter and color scheme files are in JSON format which can be also loaded from a stream.

Build requirements

Json Data Objects (included)
Delphi versions XE4, XE5, XE6, XE7, XE8, and Seattle are supported
Delphi XE7: Update 1 required
C++ Builder versions XE7, XE8, and Seattle are supported

Note! Do not offer me older versions to support. I don't have time to keep up with those.

Conditional compilation

Define	Description
USE_ALPHASKINS	Use AlphaSkins. AlphaSkins are most powerful theming solutions for apps developed in Delphi.
USE_VCL_STYLES	Use VCL styles. A set of graphical details that define the look and feel of a VCL application.

Usage example

  with Editor do 
  begin
    Highlighter.LoadFromFile('JSON.json');
    Highlighter.Colors.LoadFromFile('Default.json'); 
    LoadFromFile(GetHighlighterFileName('JSON.json')); 
    ...
    Lines.Text := Highlighter.Info.General.Sample; 
  end;

Note! LoadFromStream does not support multi-highlighters (for example HTML with Scripts.json). Override TBCBaseEditor.CreateFileStream function, if you want to load multi-highlighters from a stream.

Documentation

Documentation will be written after the project stabilizes and dust settles. This project is developed in my spare time without sources of income and as long as this is the case there is no timetable for anything.
