ATSynEdit - A LCL version of Scintilla?

Post by CentauriB »

Hello,

I'm new to CudaText, I hope I can find this small-sized but fast editor earlier. I'm also new to Free Pascal, forgive me if my question is stupid.

I had read the CudaText Wiki and ATSynEdit code/docs, but I still have some questions which are not clear to me.

Looks like the ATSynEdit is an editor control like Scintilla, but implemented with the LCL controls?

ref: https://github.com/Alexey-T/ATSynEdit/b ... it.pas#L61

BTW, according to the LGPL and MPL 2.0. I think I can use LCL and ATSynEdit in a closed-source application as long as don't modify their source code but only call their APIs plus link it to the application?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Sun

Yes, but to say correctly: it _is_ the LCL control.

I think yes you can.
