I'd be delighted to help, and maybe I will get time at some random point in the next week or so, but it's looking dodgy. I have 90,000 words to research and write, and 9 weeks to do it! The publisher's breathing over my shoulder is misting up my monitor as it is.
 
Maybe if you can break down the problem and post bits here I (and others) may be able to shed some light, but I can't see me having time to download and mess around. I'm really sorry, as I'd very much like to support your effort - indeed, I was thinking of giving some help once the book's out of the way, maybe we can plug some STLSoft stuff in there ;).

Also could I get your help on something Matthew if you have time ?
 
Im using the scintilla MFC wrappers found here : http://www.atari-soldiers.com/mfc_scintilla.zip , and Im having trouble getting the caret to show up ready for typing when I create new files, and also when DIDE loses focus, then regains it.  You have to click on the view to be able to edit.
 
I have tried scintillas methods of :
 
 
SetCurrentPos( )
SetSelectionStart( )
GrabFocus()
 
And also MFC's
 
SetActiveWindow()
SetFocus()
SetCaretPos()
 
I have tried these in an overrided CView::OnActivateView( ... ) function , a DisplayErrorFunction, OnInitalUpdate(), OnUpdate() etc... without any luck.
 
 
Here is a test program Im using http://www.atari-soldiers.com/ScintillaTest.zip so you can see it in action.
 
Im stuck on this , dont know what else to try :/.  Thanks for any help!
