Re: A86: Re: Assembly Studio 86 available




syntax highlighting is something I've tried implementing in Assembly Studio,
but Matt's right. It really can't be done through high level manipulation of
the standard windows controls without really slowing down the interface. I
might try making a custom edit control, but for now I've decided that color
highlighting isn't worth the effort.
