Re: [Dltk-dev] Can DLTK be used to do syntax highlighting in a multiline text field?

Hi Lothar,

You can look at the
org.eclipse.dltk.ui.preferences.AbstractScriptEditorColoringConfigurationBlock.createPreviewer(Composite)
and
org.eclipse.dltk.debug.ui.breakpoints.ScriptBreakpointPropertyPage.createExpressionEditor(Composite)

Regards,
Alex

That is basically what I had in mind. The scrip snippet is only one of many 
items on the "page" of our application. Currently we use just a regular SWT 
multiline edit. But of course that is not as user friendly as it could be ;-)
So basically we are looking into DLTK to provide the parsing/syntax 
highlighting for us. Especially as we might have to support different 
scripting languages in the future (currently our snippets are python only).

Sounds easy enough. I guess I can look at the code for "Preview Control" to 
see how it's done?
