thanks that will be helpful

still i would like to make it use as my plan B cause creating software
to colorize syntax of 3 or 4 programming languages will take lots of
time form me
so i still hope there is an open source ready made library somewhere on
the net
(( well so optimistic ))

You may be able to reuse the syntax colouring and/or coloured text display from
one of the IDEs or code editors written in Java.

For instance jEdit appears (to a /very/ quick glance) to have a standalone
syntax colouring module, org.gjt.sp.jedit.syntax, and maybe too a standalone
syntax coloured text box, org.gjt.sp.jedit.textarea. See
http://www.jedit.org/api/index.html

I have no idea how suitable either of those would be for your purposes, but
they were just examples anyway. There are (many) other code editors and IDEs
out there which you could look into.

Don't even bother answering "Lawrence Chan" spam. Whoever is behind it is an
annoying little weevil, covered in worm poop.

i still want to thank you again your comment really helped after
searching and chasing the thread from Jedit

i got some nice tutorials for syntax coloring i would like to put them
here if any one need them

http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/text/editor_kit/index.html
http://ostermiller.org/syntax/editor.html

also i found the API used in JEdit and Jext that is "jEdit Syntax
Package " developed by Slava Pestov
http://syntax.jedit.org/
there is a version 2.2.1 which is exactly what i need , the only
difference is it do not support clipboard operations such as copy and
paste, that is really greate i was going to start adding the copy paste
feature to it but i just checked sourceforge for this API

and i found version 2.2.2 which actually supports Copy Paste and other
clipboard operations
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32650&package_id=24768&release_id=105717

now i can say my project will be compeleted easily

hope this links will help any one else searching for related stuff

thanks again Chris Uppal and others
