Replace RichTextEdit Control For Query Text Editor With A Different Control #32

Closed dragnilar closed 6 years ago

dragnilar commented 6 years ago

The RichTextEdit is a good control but it unfortunately isn't really meant for being used as a code editor.

There are two possible candidates for replacing this:

Scintilla.NET: https://github.com/jacobslusser/ScintillaNET
Avalon Edit: http://avalonedit.net/

Between the two, Scintilla looks to be the more likely candidate since it has a Windows Forms wrapper.

5bafb914 - The query text editor has been converted to Scintilla.NET.

Side effects have been dealt with for the most part. This has also added some new features that will need to be added (additional color settings for syntax highlighting and other text editor behaviors). Those will be handled with other issues.
