SynEdit and SynMemo

[Kamau]

I have just discovered the fantastic SynEdit and SynMemo and have three questions.

1. Is there any manual or FAQ for these?

2. What is the main difference between these two?

3. How do I use the SynPasSyn to take effect?

1) Not really: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/SynEdit
For all else: Ask here.

2) They are 99% identical. You should use SynEdit. SynMemo has:
- less published properties (they exist, but are public or protected
- 2 wrappers: like you can use SynMemo.Append as short for SynEdit.Lines.Append
- 2 extra functions (rather slow) converting the x/y into a bytepos it the complete text

3) Assign it to the SynEdit.Highlighter property. In Object inspector. The SynPasSyn will be i the dropdown, IF you dropped one (or more) on the form.

Thanks I will check and report.

Thanks, it is clear how it works.

And it works! :-)
