Hi,

I'm trying to make a script which create an XML document.

It works but I cant achieve to set the XML language coloration on this document.

I tryed several things like above, but it didn't work (no error but document stay to Normal text file).

editor.setLexerLanguage('XML')
editor.setLexer(LEXER.XML)
editor.changeLexerState(0, -1)
editor.colourise(0, -1)

I tryed to use Notepad.setLangType(langType[, bufferID]) but I don't know how to use

notepad.setLangType(LANGTYPE.L_XML)

How can I set my document langage to XML with XML coloration?

PS: In documentation there's Notepad.setCurrentLang(langType) but I've error saying it doesn't exist.

Have you tried "notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.LANG_XML)"?

Yes I ended to use this command but I liked to understand why the previous solution doesn't work
