Cheers Ben.
Errors are things like ....
TextHighlighter.CanRewrite not static.
TextEditor.Styles not available.
Plus others I mentioned in previous post.

Bare in mind these projects have imported gb.form.editer and do not use the
built in version that's more compliant.
So I had to import new text editor that uses gb.highlight but as I said
importing the gb.highlight component into a project that already has
gb.form.editor files has conflicts plus other source file/folder path
problems.

I guess with gambas.....  There's always a way 😎
