This is a syntax highlighting codebox for almost every programming language you want. You can easily create new syntax shemes, if you want.
The highlighting algo isn't super fast, but much faster than many other examples, because it modifies directly RTF source, not the visible text.
If someone has any suggestions to improve this control or make the algo faster, then please tell me.
Hint: You will need SSubTmr6.dll from vbaccelerator to run the control. You can download it from:
https://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/Libraries/Subclassing/SSubTimer/VB6_SSubTmr_Binary.asp
Don't forget to register DLL before, otherwise it won't work.
Sample and Comments are in German.
