back to top A TIB_Memo replacement capable of Syntax Highlighting, code completion and lots more.
Also a good example on how to create own IB_ native controls. Thanks to Gunther Buchtala for the Palette icon! Also look at my "SynMultiKwd" highlighter for SynEdit, which is quite useful in combination with TIB_SynMemo.
