DScintilla

DScintilla is a simple (but complete) Scintilla wrapper for Delphi VCL (Win32). Interface updated from Scintilla v2.28 (works also with v3.x).

Since r31 you don't need to use patched Scintilla, you can use latest SciLexer.dll from http://www.scintilla.org (or compile yourself from sources).

In case of using older interface and new SciLexer.dll everything should work fine - you will get fixes/improvements of new Scintilla version. You'll miss only new features in interface, but you will be always able to use them by using SendEditor function.

Supported Delphi versions: D6-D2010+ (D6-D2007 requires JEDI-JCL dependency).

Because this is a wrapper for Scintilla, so you can read/see more at:

4. Open in Delphi X:\Y\Z\DScintilla\Packages\DScintillaRuntime.dpk, then Build package
