Margin background color for current line

[Farshid Lashkari]

Hi,

I've been playing around with the Sublime text editor (http://www.sublimetext.com/) lately. It has a lot of neat features, I suggest taking a look at it. One feature it has, that I'd like to add to my application, is changing the margin background color for the current line. It works similar to the SCI_SETCARETLINEBACK command, but only affects the margin. Is this currently possible with scintilla? I know how to control the background color of the margin, but it affects all the lines.

Cheers,

Farshid

Use MARGINSETSTYLE to set the background per line.

The documentation seems to imply that MARGINSETSTYLE only applies to text margins. Will it work with line number and symbols margins?

   You would need to track the caret and use a marker. Maybe a translucent pixmap of the same size as the margin.
