FBIde 0.3.1 -> 0.3.3

The default VB textbox seems to be limited to the limits of the OS. In Windows 98, it has a limit of around 32KB. In XP, I've found no practical limit, as I've loaded 9MB files into it. Notepad seems to use the same exact control, which explains why Windows 98 Notepad can only load files of around 32KB and XP Notepad can load anything.

aetherFox: CodeMax was the "even easier" method I was referring to. The RTB can also be used, of course, it's just a lot more work to accomplish the very basics, such as scope indentation and syntax coloring. There are no other freely available controls or classes of any real worth, so one would have to be developed from scratch. It would also require digging very deep into the API, and I'm not sure either you or I have the kind of time to do such research. I've worked a lot with CodeMax, and it's a really stable control and is pretty powerful. Besides, it doesn't do ALL the work anyways...it's really nothing more than a syntax coloring textbox with unlimited data size but why it's so powerful is the methods you use to do the syntax coloring. You'll still have to handle some basics, but the coloring is handled and lets you work on more important aspects of your application...in this case, like line parsing.
