Welcome to the ScintillaNET Wiki.

Scintilla has been in continuous development since 1999. As a result it has a huge API and getting familiar with it can take some time. Take it for a spin. You'll find a lot of the API accessible from the Visual Studio designer, but an even larger portion of it which must be accessed programmatically.

It serves as the code editor for many popular text editors and IDE's. Don't assume, however, that you're going to get an IDE for free when you use ScintillaNET. With it you can build one, but you'll need to couple its magic with some of your own.

The recipes you'll find in our Wiki are designed to help you do just that. They answer common questions and try to anticipate problems you might have as you build your dream editor. To get started quickly we recommend beginning with these:

• Basic Text Retrieval and Modification
• Automatic Syntax Highlighting
• Displaying Line Numbers
• Updating Dependent Controls
• Build Scintilla and Lexilla from source

If you still have questions after going through our official cookbook, try some of these user-submitted recipes:
