wxStyledTextCtrl - Dead?

[David Rasmussen]

I have several questions about wxStyledTextCtr l:

1) Is it still being maintained?

2) Where are the docs and tutorials?

3) Is it wxStyledTextCtr l, wx.StyledTextCt rl, StyledTextCtrl, or... ?

4) Is there an alternative?

Re: wxStyledTextCtr l - Dead?

The wxPython Demo
(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w...2.6.3.2.tar.gz)
still contains the wxStyledTextCtr l:

wx.stc.StyledTe xtCtrl

The demo is probably also a good example of how to use
wxStyledTextCtr l.

Basic information can be found on

http://www.yellowbrain.com/stc/init_repr.html

Regards.

I don't know the answers to 1 and 2, but from the demo I know that the
answer to 3 is wx.stc.StyledTe xtControl.

As for 4, I guess it depends on what you want to do. StyledTextContr ol
looked pretty scary to me, and for my application I mainly needed to
display styled text, not edit it, so I embedded a web browser window
and used HTML+CSS (and even a little JavaScript now). That worked quite
nicely.

If you need to edit the text as well, then I don't know. The rich edit
control (TextCtrl with style wx.TE_RICH2) is one option, but it is not
particularly nice to use.

I am trying to make a programmer's editor (and later a full IDE), and I
want things like syntax highlighting etc. I could of course roll my own
fancy editing control, but if STC could solve my problem and is flexible
enough, then I'll use that for now :)

There are at least two (that I know of) editors written in Python and
based on the STC. Going from memory, PyPE is one, and the other is ...
um... well, it's too early in the morning to recall but I'm sure it
wouldn't be hard to find. Full source is available for either and while
rolling your own anything is fun and educational, I think both of these
are simple enough that you'd probably prefer to stand on their authors'
shoulders, or at least learn from the code first.

No, it's not hard. :)
for example: Boa Constructor, DrPython, spe and newedit.
