Note

This component is very buggy and should not be used. Please use "SynEdit" instead of it. If there is somebody who wants to overtake this project, please write an issue and ask about it.

Usage example

  with BCEditor1 do 
  begin
    Highlighter.LoadFromFile('JSON.json');
    Highlighter.Colors.LoadFromFile('Default.json'); 
    ...
    Text := Highlighter.Sample; 
  end;

Note! LoadFromStream / LoadFromResource does not support multi-highlighters (for example HTML with Scripts.json). Override TBCBaseEditor.CreateFileStream function, if you want to load multi-highlighters from a stream.
