Hi navi,

Do you have any reason to not use CodeEditor (other than curiosity, perhaps)? It can be set up to behave the same way as LineEdit, just with linenumbers... Also you mentioned some other features that might be useful for you.

Hello Honza,
I am not using CodeEditor Ctrl, because I believe it is much more complex then LineEdit Ctrl. And quite a bit harder to understand. The only example of CodeEditor Ctrl I could find is theIDE. No examples or documentation or sample program to see how it might be used or customized. Another point is, since CodeEditor is derived from LineEdit. it is essential that I understand LineEdit and TextCtrl inner workings properly. Since I just started to learn how line LineEdit is doing what it is doing, trying to extend CodeEditor will just add another layer of codes and mechanism that I do not yet understand.

For instance I notice that CodeEditor does not include a Print function. Obviously it is using the Print of LineEdit to get the job done. so no point working with CodeEditor yet as I have to understand the LineEdit first.

regards
Navi
