Using Scintilla in IUP

[Milind Gupta]

Hi,
I am using Scintilla in the GUI toolkit IUP (http://webserver2.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/).

I am using the lexer to color the text. I am using the lexer for the Lua Language.
If I have 'table' in the keywords set then if I write 'table' in the editor it colors it right. If I write 'table:hello' it again colors 'table' correctly. But if I write 'table.unpack' then it does not color table properly. How can I make the '.' also respect the lexer color scheme?

In the current toolkit release it uses Scintilla version 3.6.2. Any help and guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Milind

They are using different styles. In Scintilla, primary keywords
uses SCE_LUA_WORD. Try SciTE, I think 'table' uses SCE_LUA_WORD2
while 'table.unpack' uses SCE_LUA_WORD3.

For 'table.unpack', the lexer will match 'table.unpack' but not
'table'. So you need to have a keyword entry for 'table.unpack'.
The intention I guess was to allow different styling for library
functions, and so that the user can uniquely style own libraries
as well by adding to the property lists.
