XUI Code Editor
Syntax Highlighting | Themes | Autocompletion | Undo & Redo
XUICodeEditor is a sophisticated Xojo canvas-based desktop control for editing source code including Markdown.
XUICodeEditor is the only code editor you’ll ever need in your apps. If you ever need to display code or markup then this is the control for you. It is one of the most powerful editors out there and is actively developed. We love adding features to this thing so reach out if there’s some functionality you need.
Like several of our text-based controls, XUICodeEditor is a subclass of DesktopTextInputCanvas. Read about this (free) plugin here.
