Jeisson:
Hi CB team.

I need to program an editor into my wx application. wxScintilla seems the best option, but I have some problems with it. Reading this thread one understands the sad estate of that project.

Now I find two choices. [1] Use Scintilla library directly, or [2] Make some fixes to the wxScintilla v1.72 (SVN). But I have noticed you have kept an updated version for your own needs (Wonderful!).

I would like to ask a humble question. Could I use your updated version of wxScintilla? Is it under wxWindows license?

Thanks so much in advance.
Best regards
-Jeisson

It's under GPL3, just as the rest of C::B, too. If that license suits your needs, go ahead. :P

Alternatively there is another IDE that uses an own further improved version of wxScintilla called CodeLite. To be honest I am not sure under what license this goes, but it's surely OpenSource at least. You can ask the author of that IDE (Eran Ifrah) via a PM. He is member of our forum under the nick name "eranif".

As another alternative: Are you aware, that a kind of "wxScintilla" called STC is part of the wxWidgets sources? It's here:
[wxWidgets_sources]\contrib\src\stc
...for wxWidgets 2.8.10; or here:
[wxWidgets_sources]\src\stc
...for wxWidgets 2.9.x.

Morten. Your words are light.

I did not know wxStyledTextCtrl is actually a Scintilla control, it is not in the wx-2.8.10 docs (docs-2.9 includes it). This is fantastic. I am going to try STC.

BTW.: wx-2.9-svn seems to be updated to Scintilla 2.01.

Thanks so much, again

By the way, are you plan to merge your own Scintilla binding with wxWidgets3`s stc control after migrating to new wxWidgets version? I think this would useful for both - wxWidgets core and CodeBlocks project.

I doubt this will happen any time soon. The STC component is still based on scintilla 1.7.x to my knowledge and lacks a lot of features we've added already. As we depend partially on these new features we would either need to adopt STC or stay with (our) wxScintilla. the latter makes more sense to me.
