    syntax highlighting for textbox

    Anyone know where to looks for ideas on how to do syntax highlighting in a windows text editor? I know how to change the text color of the entire window but how do I set it based on syntax? I'm assuming I need some regexp type function and markup the text into sections then use SetTextColor() but all of this is guessing.

    BTW I'm using the raw API.

    thanx

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
