Actipro SyntaxEditor - Windows Forms .NET Control

Feature Tour:

User Margin

SyntaxEditor supports a user margin where you can draw any sort of information you would like to display for a display line. There are two modes of displaying information in the user margin. The first lets you just specify text for a display line and SyntaxEditor will automatically draw the text for you. The second lets you completely draw the user margin yourself, allowing you to add glyphs or other custom draw data. Either mode can be used for any display line.

The width of the margin can be set and as with any other margin, SyntaxEditor makes the user margin background and border completely customizable, allowing for gradient fills and margin borders. You can also control the automated drawing mode's font, text alignment, and foreground color.

SyntaxEditor allows you to handle mouse clicks in the user margin as well as provide custom tool tips when the mouse is moved over the user margin.
