Basic Text Editor

[shield]

It only took me about 5 minutes to make but oh well, lol

A very (VERY) basic text editing program created by me :)

Doesnt need to be installed - just runs as an exe.

Maybe if I get some spare time I will :)

Yes, Very nice. Bit too basic. If you want to scare microsoft thinking that your devpad will own notepad then it needs to have more.

Just like firefox and IE

:p

I'd have thought that such an editor would be fairly easy to build, even with Visual BASIC (yes, I know Microsoft doesn't use the full caps, but the language family is called BASIC).
I actually have a decent amount of building such things with Delphi, but a fair bit more powerful.
I was working on one using some Borland compatible syntax highlighting packs (Delphi VCL or drag and drop RAD components) called synedit, but they are pretty annoying, so I restarted with the widely available and much loved Scintilla library (the tech demo, sciTE is quite successful on it's own) and it's going well so far (highlighting, basic functions, MDI, runs python code, dowloads source code, works with a DLL version of TIDY).

If you plan on working on a code editor, I'd suggest looking into scintilla as there's quite a few wrappers for it and it's entirely free.
