I decided to have a concerted effort to get the excellent DWScript (Delph Web Script DWS) integrated into a simple IDE using SynEdit. DWScript is currently being agressively developed and has a number of advantages over other Pascal Script libraries, however it does not contain an editor or any IDE example beyond a simple memo control to prove execution capability. It does contain a number of hooks for editor / debugger integration and in fact when DWS was reawakened a while ago, releases did contain an example of a SynEdit / DWS2 (as it was then) integration. An example can be found in the file dws2src20-20030907.zip in the \dws2rel\dwstools\idedialog\source where there is a 'mini-IDE' with editor window, call stack, breakpoint window etc. Really nice. I did get this working some months ago using an old SynEdit and the DWS2 that was included in this file.

So, I have now tried achieve this (or a similar) ide using the latest SynEdit (downloaded from SVN) and the latest DWScript (also from the SVN). Both libraries are installed fine into XE and their demos run fine. I then tried taking the ide example from the old "\dws2rel\dwstools\idedialog\source" and updating the code but much has changed. Frustratingly, not so much has changed that I gave up quickly - I tried searching for the various 'old' type definitions in old source and matching them up with 'new' definitions. Finally though, after several hours mired in code I decided that someone, somewhere must surely have been down this route?

Has anyone got an example of a DWScript - SynEdit integration using recent DWScript code please? I'm very happy with something simple that I can learn / build upon. Thanks

SynEdit component has received little maintenance, and even some projects as Inno Setup have changed to Scintilla, Inno Setup is not using DWS but the code can serve you as a basis for new IDE

    I should probably update this question. I have now created an IDE which you can find in the Trunk/Tools section of the DWS googlescript code http://dwscript.googlecode.com/svn. It is still very much beta but is designed to look 'Delphi-like'. There is documentation with it. – Brian Frost Oct 06 '11 at 11:35
