How hard to configure for a new language?

[Jay Ayliff]

I just found out about the SyncFusion Edit control. Before I invest major time & effort, has anyone created a complete config for a language? How hard is it? I''m thinking of Caché ObjectScript/MUMPS. Has anyone done that?

Hi Jay,

Creating a configuration file for Essential Edit is a relatively simple task. Please refer to the sample configuration files in the directory ...\Syncfusion\Essential Suite\Edit\Samples\Ini Files. This contains configuration files for several languages such as C, C++, C#, VB.NET, Java, SQL etc. Each language has a specific configuration file associated with it, which contains its syntax coloring information like the ColorGroups, Tags, Keywords, DataTypes etc. You can easily use our syntax configuration model to create a configuration file for any desired language. Once the configuration file is ready, you could simply plug this into the EditControl using the following code :

editControl.SettingFile = ConfigurationFileName;

Please let me know if you need any other information. Thanks for considering Syncfusion products.
