Text Editors...

[lidds]

This is a bit of a random question, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

I currently as a job (my full time job, the one that pays the bills) work on a 3D piece of CAD software. This piece of software has it's own programming language, which you can write your own forms etc. with. The thing is that the company who owns the piece of software do not provide a programming tool, so everyone normally writes code in normal text editors.

What I was looking for is either a tool that someone has developed that would not mind sharing or a text editor that is avalible on the market (free if possible) that allows you to create your own syntax file that would provide the dynamic code dropdown like in VS.

Can anyone help me???

Thanks inadvance

While there are many text editors with syntax highlighting, "intellisense," the drop down member lists and function parameter lists are pretty much language dependant, and need to be programmed for a specific language (in the case of .Net it could be done for the entire platform because of the CLS). In other words, if you want one, you will probably have to code your own.
