Hi SynEdit Experts,
Doing a special kind of text editor (that in fact needs to feature an
invisible signature for each word in the text):
Is it possible to do a highlighter that results in hiding the character
sequences found by the highlighting criterion (in fact on screen
replaces it by a blank) ?
Can we do software that with a cursor move event gets/finds the word
under cursor plus the invisible "highlighted" string before that word ?
Can the highlighted / invisible character sequence be protected from
being modified by the user's text editing actions ?
Is there a way to wrap the (visible) text to a predefined line length
(using the usual line breaks as paragraph indicator) ?
If such features are not available does it make sense to do a local fork
of SynEdit to implement such options or would a different implementation
be more viable ?
Thanks for any comments !
-Michael
