Introduction

The Windows version of Scintilla is a Windows Control. As such, its primary programming interface is through Windows messages. Early versions of Scintilla emulated much of the API defined by the standard Windows Edit and RichEdit controls but those APIs are now deprecated in favour of Scintilla’s own, more consistent API. In addition to messages performing the actions of a normal Edit control, Scintilla allows control of syntax styling, folding, markers, autocompletion and call tips.

Complete documentation for the Scintilla control can be found online at http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html

The Scintilla class in this repository was created to make it easier to use the Scintilla control in Clarion for Windows projects and applications.
