Testing RichEditBib (Highlight Syntax Richedit)

[HSE]

Hi all!

This a test of a Richedit subclass using a modification of Iczelion's Syntax Highlighting. Only symbols are colored here, exactly what Iczelion omitted.

For dual code freg macro system is used. In 32 bits registers are pushed/poped and in 64 bits registers are pseudo pushed/poped (that means storing them as local variables).  That make a lot more easy to adapt 32 bits code to 64 bits code.

Regards, HSE.

Now must work.

Hi HSE
The binary works fine and I was able to recompile the app right out of the box.
For some strange reason, Windows Defender detected the binary as a dangerous file...
Perhaps you've optimized the colors for high contrast. Yellow on a white background (SymbolColor1) is a little difficult to read on regular displays.

I erased previous  . Jotti don't found nothing now.

No optimization, just black background. Changed that 

Thanks, HSE.

Hi HSE,

Hi LiaoMi!

That is an optimization to protect eyes!!

I think that was the file 1 (I forgot a line). Now file 2 have to work
That don't work in this Richedit versión, I have to see.

Thanks, HSE

Thanks LioaMi. Apparently if OS support CHARFORMAT2 perhaps getformat have a problema with CHARFORMAT

Added a new Project in first post.

No in Win7-32. Yes in Win7-64. Like in file 3 is working well in both  .

Office...

See Making RichEdit work properly on Windows 10. The System32\RichEd20.dll sucks, it's buggy and utterly slow. Use Office 11 or 12 versions, they sit in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft shared\Office1?\RICHED20.DLL; even if you don't have Office installed, you may find them there if you ever installed the free Word viewer.

Hi HSE
TestRichBib3 works fine under Win10 Enterprise 20H2/64.

It worked OK on my Win10 64. Yellow punctuation but the text in white and on a black background scheme.

Thanks Hutch and Biterider 

System32\RichEd20.dll

Good point JJ! Could be a problem here. Thanks.

The "official" RichEdit DLL is \System32\msftedit.dll (but it's not popular - I don't know why, I never tried it); there is also a C:\Windows\System32\riched20.dll, but it's over 10 years old, and I doubt it has all the features of the office versions, at one third of their size...
