Hello. Where can I find more examples and tutorials on StyledTextCtrl?

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find many good examples or tutorials on the StyledTextCtrl.

I have a few bookmarks that I have used, although some are rather old and may be out of date. You have probably found most of these already…

The wxPython Wiki has a few entries:

https://wiki.wxpython.org/StyledTextCtrl

https://wiki.wxpython.org/StyledTextCtrl%20Lexer%20Quick%20Reference

https://wiki.wxpython.org/Using%20Python%20Regular%20Expressions%20with%20StyledTextCtrl

https://wiki.wxpython.org/StyledTextCtrl%20Log%20Window%20Demo

Sometimes I have had to refer back to the wxWidgets C++ documentation:

https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_styled_text_ctrl-members.html

And I have often needed to look at the documentation for Scintilla (on which the StyledTextCtrl is based). Note that this can be more recent than the version modelled by a particular release of wxPython.

There have been a number of discussion about the StyledTextCtrl here on Discuss wxPython and also on Stackoverflow, although not all the questions have received satisfactory answers:

I think that StyledTextCtrl_1.py and StyledTextCtrl_2.py in wxdemo are good to know what wx.stc can do.

This documentation is also great:
