Developing a simple IDE

[Kürþat]

Hi,

For one of our projects we have developed a very simple script language. It
has about a dozen of instructions, literals, variables (definition and
assignment), "if" control structure, "==", "!=", "+" and "^" operators. We
consider developing a simple IDE for our scripting language. The IDE should
support identifier and syntax coloring, intellisense like feature and auto
complete. I look for resources like a sample framework or article about IDE
development. I'll be happy if you can help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Open a windowsform project
Drag a RichTextbox on that
Click on the textbox
Write the code that is needed for your goal

Perhaps overkill but you could try :

Studio Shell)
depending on how far you plan to go...

Wow, great! Thanks Patrice. I am going to check it out...
