   ActiveState use Scintilla wrapped by a Mozilla plugin in their Komodo
IDE. The plugin works on Win32 and Linux/X. It is not open source. I was one
of the developers and it was not as simple as I expected although some of
that may have been due to the immaturity of Mozilla.

   If you have a recent Java installed there is a technology demonstration
of a code editor component written in Java at

   There was a C# version of the code as well but that stopped working with
.NET service pack 1 which increased security.
