TSyntaxManager = class(TLoadableComponent);

File

ecSyntAnal

Description

It represents a lexer library with ability of load / save operations (LoadFromFile,SaveToFile methods) and selecting the appropriate lexer for the particular file name (AnalyzerForFile method).

You can use it also for managing lexers menu. Specify LexersMenu that will list all lexers that are managed by the syntax manager and "plain text" menu item (specified by the MenuPlainText property). Use CurentLexer property and OnLexerChanged event handler to control current lexer of the editor.

Note: You can use lexer library at design time, lexers will be saved into the form resource.
