Is there a way for syntax highlighting in an Edit?

[Dismalitie]

I noticed that the LuaRT Studio's code workspace has syntax highlighting and was wondering wether the same effect could be acheived in your UI module. If not, then maybe you could implement officially like this:

local text = ui.Edit(win, "magenta, blue, green", 10, 10)
for i="magenta" in text do
     i:highlight("magenta" or "#FF00FF")
end

or

local text = ui.Edit(win, "magenta, blue, green", 10, 10)
text:highlight("magenta", "#FF00FF")

Hi Dismalitie,

ui.Edit widget don't have highlighting support out of the box, as it is based on Windows Richedit component.

But you can use syntax highlighting manualy as in the following example : https://github.com/samyeyo/LuaRT/blob/master/examples/ui/syntax.wlua
