How add a code editor

[PH-Bench 0]

Hello friends. I am new to C++ builder. I am currently interested in building Cross Platform applications. I would like to know how an application can add a feature like a code editor. To be clear I mean a way for its users to type computer code and have the tools to display it to the application in the syntax of the language of choice (e.g. JavaScript). I guess this would be similar to an application having a rich text editor. However, on both, I do not even know where to start. Could someone point me in the correct direction? Thanks

You should ask this question in FMX (as the question has nothing to do with Delphi IDE).

 

A short answer is that you would have to implement a component like Synedit (at the moment it is a Windows only). As far as I know there is no such an editor available for cross platform.

Thanks for that. I will point future questions to FMX. Great!

TMS have an FMX version of their TadvMemo, that does syntax highlighting:

DScintilla is a VCL wrapper (maybe there is also an fmx one?)
