You can call it directly to perform this action if needed, e.g. from toolbar or menu command.

ScintillaControlMBS.CharRightRectExtend

You can call it directly to perform this action if needed, e.g. from toolbar or menu command.

ScintillaControlMBS.ChooseCaretX

This message sets the current x position of the caret as the remembered value.

ScintillaControlMBS.Clear

ScintillaControlMBS.ClearAll

ScintillaControlMBS.ClearAllCmdKeys

ScintillaControlMBS.ClearAllRepresentations

ScintillaControlMBS.ClearCmdKey(keyDefinition as Integer)

Var c as ScintillaControlMBS
// disable tab key for editor
c.ClearCmdKey c.kKeysTab

ScintillaControlMBS.ClearDocumentStyle

ScintillaControlMBS.ClearRegisteredImages

ScintillaControlMBS.ClearRepresentation(encodedCharacter as String)

ScintillaControlMBS.ClearSelections

ScintillaControlMBS.ClearTabStops(line as Integer)

Changing tab stops produces a ChangeTabStops event.

ScintillaControlMBS.Colourise(start as Integer, ende as Integer = -1)

If end is -1, the document is styled from start to the end. If the "fold" property is set to "1" and your lexer or container supports folding, fold levels are also set. This method causes a redraw.

ScintillaControlMBS.ColouriseAll

If the "fold" property is set to "1" and your lexer or container supports folding, fold levels are also set. This method causes a redraw.

ScintillaControlMBS.Column(pos as Integer) as Integer

This returns the column number of the last tab on the line before pos, plus the number of characters between the last tab and pos. If there are no tab characters on the line, the return value is the number of characters up to the position on the line. In both cases, double byte characters count as a single character. This is probably only useful with monospaced fonts.

ScintillaControlMBS.ContractedFoldNext(lineStart as Integer) as Integer

This is useful when saving the user's folding when switching documents or saving folding with a file. The search starts at line number lineStart and continues forwards to the end of the file. lineStart is returned if it is a contracted fold header otherwise the next contracted fold header is returned. If there are no more contracted fold headers then -1 is returned.

ScintillaControlMBS.ConvertEOLs(EndOfLineMode as Integer)

Scintilla can handle the major line end conventions and, depending on settings and the current lexer also support additional Unicode line ends.
Scintilla can interpret any of the Macintosh (CR), Unix (LF) and Windows (CR+LF) line ends. When the user presses the Enter key, one of these line end strings is inserted into the buffer. The default is CRL+LF in Windows and LF in Unix, but this can be changed with the EOLMode proeprty. You can also convert the entire document to one of these line endings with ConvertEOLs. Finally, you can choose to display the line endings with ViewEOL.

For the UTF-8 encoding, three additional Unicode line ends, Next Line (NEL=U+0085), Line Separator (LS=U+2028), and Paragraph Separator (PS=U+2029) may optionally be interpreted when Unicode line ends is turned on and the current lexer also supports Unicode line ends.

ScintillaControlMBS.Copy

ScintillaControlMBS.CopyAllowLine

On Windows, an extra "MSDEVLineSelect" marker is added to the clipboard which is then used in SCI_PASTE to paste the whole line before the current line.

ScintillaControlMBS.CopyRange(RangeStart as Integer, RangeEnd as Integer)

ScintillaControlMBS.CopyText(Text as String)

ScintillaControlMBS.CountCharacters(start as Integer, ende as Integer) as Integer

ScintillaControlMBS.CountCodeUnits(start as Integer, ende as Integer) as Integer

This counts in UTF-16 code units.

ScintillaControlMBS.CreateLoader(bytes as Integer = 1000000, documentOptions as Integer = 0) as ScintillaLoaderMBS

An application can load all of a file into a buffer it allocates on a background thread and then add the data in that buffer into a Scintilla document on the user interface thread. That technique uses extra memory to store a complete copy of the file and also means that the time that Scintilla takes to perform initial line end discovery blocks the user interface.

To avoid these issues, a loader object may be created and used to load the file.
Returns an object that supports the ScintillaLoaderMBS interface which can be used to load data and then be turned into a Scintilla document object for attachment to a view object. The bytes argument determines the initial memory allocation for the document as it is more efficient to allocate once rather than rely on the buffer growing as data is added. If CreateLoader fails then nil is returned.

See kDocumentOption* constants.

You can call it directly to perform this action if needed, e.g. from toolbar or menu command.

ScintillaControlMBS.DescribeProperty(Key as String) as String

ScintillaControlMBS.DocLineFromVisible(line as Integer) as Integer

This method returns the document line number that corresponds to a display line (counting the display line of the first line in the document as 0). If displayLine is less than or equal to 0, the result is 0. If displayLine is greater than or equal to the number of displayed lines, the result is the number of lines in the document.

ScintillaControlMBS.DocumentEnd

You can call it directly to perform this action if needed, e.g. from toolbar or menu command.

ScintillaControlMBS.DocumentEndExtend

ScintillaControlMBS.DocumentStartExtend

You can call it directly to perform this action if needed, e.g. from toolbar or menu command.

ScintillaControlMBS.DropSelectionN(selection as Integer)

If this was the main selection then make the previous selection the main and if it was the first then the last selection becomes main. If there is only one selection, or there is no selection selection, then there is no effect.

ScintillaControlMBS.EditToggleOvertype

You can call it directly to perform this action if needed, e.g. from toolbar or menu command.

ScintillaControlMBS.ElementAllowsTranslucent(element as Integer) as Boolean

This may change based on circumstances - different platforms or graphics technologies may implement translucency and newer versions of Scintilla may implement translucency for elements that did not previously support it.

ScintillaControlMBS.ElementBaseColour(element as Integer) as Color

This may be a value defined by Scintilla or it may be derived from the operating system or platform. Which values are set from the operating system may differ between operating systems and operating system versions. When undefined the return value is 0 which is equivalent to completely transparent black. These colours may be useful when defining styles with similarities such as synthesizing dark mode styles that use the same colours as the system.

On Win32, autocompletion list colours like kElementList are currently provided by the platform layer and on Cocoa, selection background colours like kElementSelectionBack are provided.

ScintillaControlMBS.ElementColour(element as Integer) as Color

If the element supports translucency, then the alpha portion of the value is used. An opaque alpha value (&hff) should always be included when an opaque colour is desired as the value 0 is completely transparent and thus invisible.
(Read and Write computed property)

ScintillaControlMBS.ElementIsSet(element as Integer) as Boolean

When false indicates that a default colour or set of colours is displayed.

ScintillaControlMBS.EmptyUndoBuffer

It also sets the save point to the start of the undo buffer, so the document will appear to be unmodified. This does not cause the SavePointReached event to be sent to the container.

ScintillaControlMBS.EndStyled as Integer

Scintilla keeps a record of the last character that is likely to be styled correctly. This is moved forwards when characters after it are styled and moved backwards if changes are made to the text of the document before it. Before drawing text, this position is checked to see if any styling is needed and, if so, a StyleNeeded event is sent to the container. The container can send EndStyled to work out where it needs to start styling. Scintilla will always ask to style whole lines.

ScintillaControlMBS.EndUndoAction

Call BeginUndoAction to mark the beginning and EndUndoAction to end of a set of operations that you want to undo all as one operation but that you have to generate as several operations. Alternatively, you can use these to mark a set of operations that you do not want to have combined with the preceding or following operations if they are undone.

ScintillaControlMBS.EnsureVisible(line as Integer)

Both these message travels up the fold hierarchy, expanding any contracted folds until they reach the top level. The line will then be visible. If you use EnsureVisibleEnforcePolicy(), the vertical caret policy set by VisiblePolicy() is then applied.
