RE: Syntax Highlighting Editor

Uh. I bet you meant the Hint colors, didn't you? Not there yet but color 
options for Hints will also be provided.

One thing I want changed for IDE is to place Hints in a canvas window in 
a RichEdit control so the current param may be colored, also a user 
choice. I worked up a model using Don's syntax from xControls and it is 
very neat. A right click in the Hint window will dismiss the Hint (as 
well as entering the close paranthesis in inut data) and F4, or whatever 
is suitable, will restore it. The only thing I did not finish coding was 
the ability to move the Hint window around out of the way.

Don't mean to step on your toes, Don, answering questions, but I hope 
you are head-down coding away like heck smile
