Appearance

The EditControl provides support for customizing its appearance through the use of gradient background, wordwrap and user margins, and Windows XP-themed look and feel. It also supports multiple views of the same file through the use of vertical and horizontal splitters.

Gradient colors can be applied to the background of the EditControl, to enhance the aesthetic value of the application.

The EditControl, in the single line mode, operates much like a Windows Forms TextBox, and includes support for sophisticated features like syntax highlighting, selection, underlining and so on.

The EditControl provides a view-splitting functionality, similar to the one available for the Visual Studio code editor.The EditControl has inbuilt support for horizontal and vertical splitters, which facilitate the splitting of a single document into several split views so that one can work with multiple different areas of a document at the same time. A maximum of four split views are supported and can be restricted to dual views using a vertical or horizontal splitter.

Various regions of the EditControl such as the borders, view splitters, outlining collapsers, bookmarks margin, scrollbars and intelli-sense popups can be drawn with a Windows XP - themed look and feel. This Themed appearance of the EditControl is independent of the underlying operating system.
