VB Syntax Coloring

Posted by Sam Huggil on February 7th, 2004
There are now quite a few code repository programs on the market, and they all implement syntax colouring. This gives the program the look and feel of Visual Basic, but with their own customised interface. This control works by having a list of words that need to be coloured, and then checks the text for an occurrences of this text. It also handles comments and underscores.
