1. wxEditor Project
As a change of pace, I'm starting to host some of my projects on SourceForge. My
goal is to get others involved with my projects, so that many of my ideas can get
off the ground. Otherwise, I seem to start projects on my own only to have them
fizzle out as I lose interest.
The first project of this is wxEditor. With Pete having dropped off the face of
the planet (and Edita with him), and Euphoria 4.0 on the horizon, I figured I'd
strike while the iron's hot. I just registered the project, so it's still in
pending status. I'll collect the code I have so far and get it posted once the
project's approved.

Matt... this means I (we?) need to get wxStyledTextControl working. My efforts
have been rather fruitless, and I just end up mangling C++ code in hopes I'll get
something working. Right now, wxEditor operates as a basic text editor with
multiple tabs, using wxNotebook and wxTextCtrl. I'd like to get the syntax
highlighting working from the get-go. I see that as a major benefit to a code
editor.

I've been thinking about creating an editor as well and checked out your code
yesterday. Very nice!
What has stopped me is the same issue you have... no real editor component.
From what I read, wxSTC uses a pretty old version of scintilla. It may make
more sense
to wrap wxScintilla instead, although the only Windows compiler supported is
Visual C++.
If you are limiting the scope of the editor to Euphoria, either component would
do, but
I was planning on targeting SQL as well, since for me they go hand in hand.
This would
require unicode support, which (I believe) wxSTC does not have.
If someone figures out how to compile wxScintilla using watcom, I would be
willing to
help wrap it.

I'm in the process of adding caret support to wxEuphoria. From there, I'll
hopefully mock up my own editor component. I may try to use Pete's Edita as an
overall model, since his editor is written from scratch in ARWEN.
I'd prefer not to limit wxEditor to Euphoria. If I've got my own control layed
out, I could easily adapt it to any type of syntax highlighting.

I agree. My plan was to use Kate's syntax files, so from the get-go, I'd have
a lot of stuff to work with.
