I'm well aware of that, but what I think you're missing is that if you need a large text editor, you'd just... use Scintilla, or one of the handful of alternatives. You wouldn't reinvent the wheel from scratch. The number of people who develop new controls from scratch exceeds the number who actually need to do so by orders of magnitude, in my anecdotal experience.
- toast0 3y agoSure, but someone wrote Scintilla and the alternatives, including the native control. Would be nice if they had some clear documentation on what they're supposed to do.
- toast0 3y agoAlso, it's nice to have clear documentation when you want to evaluate one of these things to see if it does what it should.
