have you ever considered to create a sample demo on using Scintilla control and Win32++? https://www.scintilla.org/
I develop a programming language called thinBasic and I'm considering porting it into C++. It is a quite big project developed starting since 2004 and I need a start. More info at https://www.thinbasic.com/
I've developed my own editor called thinAir using Scintilla and because I'm not very confident with C++ (always being a BASIC programmer) I was thinking that starting from the editor would be a nice start to learn C++ and at the same time mve into C++.
I recently discovered Win32++ and I was fascinated by the fact I was able to compile any of your VS2022 demo projects without any pain at the very first go: this gave me a great positive feeling.
But I need a little help on how to start to include Scintilla and use it into one MDI window for example in your DockTabbedMDI example that seems perfect as a start. I know how to use Scintilla control but do not know where to start connecting Scintilla to Win32++ example
Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eros,
Thanks for the suggestion to create a sample demo using Scintilla. I'll give it some thought.
In the meantime attached a very simple Scintilla view. It can be used as the view window for a frame, MDI child, docker, tab etc.
The parent window will need to resize the Scintilla view when it resized.
Best regards,
David
Dear David, thanks a lot.
I will play with your files having fun to learn something new to me.
Hi Eros,
I've added a ScintillaDemo sample. You can download the lastest snapshot from the files section on SourceForge.
Best regards,
David
Ciao, I've downloaded latest ZIP 9.5.2 but I cannot find a ScintillaDemo sample
oops, sorry my fault. Found under Code menu.
Will test during week-end
thanks
