i am really sorry that i'm writing this here, but this is really good board and i have not found such for delphi questions. I have to make a project in delphi (i don't have any other choice, so i cannot use C++), and I should use RichEdit component. But I don;t know how to make a syntax highlighter using richedit. I can change a font for a whole line only, so for example comments in lines containing code are not highlited in proper way. how can i solve this? or should i use another component?
You can use SelStart & SelLength properties to select text. Then you can set the properties of the selected text using SelAttributes. You are not restricted to entire lines.
TRichEdit is a little restrictive, however, I understand it's simply wrapping WinApi functionality. It may be worth finding a third party component if it won't do everything you need it to do.
There are Delphi forums and many others at www.programmersheaven.com

Yeah! Clear off!
This is a C site for C programmers. There's nothing for you here!
adrianxw are you telling me I could have been tormenting delphi newbies all this time and didn't even know it?
There are also fine C and C++ forums at Programmers Heaven. People are free to use whatever boards they like/get results from. I was a member at PH before here, and still am.
As for tormenting newbies, well, you can try, but I know the webmaster at PH, and he doesn't much like that!

Too badIts funny how I forgot about that site. I used to use it a lot when I was learning java...Oh how time flies.
