C++ : Highlighting and Context Menus

[darkmonkey]

Im looking to add 2 functions into a little app Im currently developing, and would much appreciate it, if somebody could help. I want to add a command to the context menu or right click menu of an edit box, and the ability to recognise some code and highlight it (regexp?). I dont have a clue for either, so any help is welcome.

Cheers,
Darkmonkey

Nobody got any ideas? Even a kick in the right direction for some source for syntax highlighting?

You need a text parser to go through and highlight the code... check google for "code highlight source", it comes up with many results like this one that includes the source code http://www.andre-simon.de/

Cheers. I'll have a look.
