I need to implement a simple ini file editor using RichTextBox. I want to show some syntax highlighting. Is there any simple libraries or easy implement method available?

I did some searching and came across this https://github.com/jacobslusser/ScintillaNET but not entirely sure how to use this.

  • I am working on a program that hosts and run PHP. I want to allow user to edit the `php.ini` within a simple window with some basic syntax highlighting for `INI` - so no, not a WYSIWYG editor. – Latheesan Sep 03 '15 at 11:36

I have given up trying to implement my own syntax highlighting text editor and decided to include this tool in my project: http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html

This is pretty awesome and does exactly what I want. It's a fast and light-weight Notepad-like text editor with syntax highlighting. This program can be run out of the box without installation and supports INI files.
