    Posted: 05 August 2012 at 7:15pm
Hi All,

Would like to know how to go about coloring the start and end keywords of a class. The below is a prime example:

Private Sub
.....
.....
End Sub

Now each of those words is defined as a keyword and formatted properly on their own but when used to gether (and therefore qualify for a class sytart / end descriptor), the colorisation goes to the default (eg black). Naturally I cannot simply set the text forecolor for the class as this will color each word within the class (ie within the class start and end descriptors).

The only way that I can see (which seems like overkill) is to define (eg) 'Private Sub' as it's own class, colorise that, do the same for 'End Sub' and then have another class which starts and ends with these classes.

There must be an easier way I'm overlooking, right ?? Any and all help appreciated ! Smile

The General.

Here is a very basic class to do this.  You will also need those keywords defined in the keywords section if you want them colored when not used in a block or as they type them.

lexClass:
 name   = c_Basic
 parent:file  = <*.vbs>
 caseSensitive  = 0

lexClass:
 name  = c_BasicCodeBlock_Start 
 parent  = c_Basic, c_BasicCodeBlock
 children = 0
 start:Tag = 'Private Sub'
 end:Separators = '\t', ' ', @eol
 txt:colorFG = 0x0000FF
 
lexClass:
 name  = c_BasicCodeBlock_End 
 parent  = c_Basic, c_BasicCodeBlock
 children = 0
 previous:tag = @specs, ' ', '\t', @eol
 start:Tag = 'End Sub'
 end:Separators = @specs, @eol
 txt:colorFG = 0x0000FF

lexClass:
 name  = c_BasicCodeBlock
 parent  = c_Basic, c_BasicCodeBlock
 start:CLASS = c_BasicCodeBlock_Start
 end:CLASS = c_BasicCodeBlock_End
 Collapsable = 1
 CollapsedText = '...'
