      Dear All,

      i am very new to c++. but i very much appreciate the concept of Notepad++ development — use pure Win32 API to keep the performance.

      my question are as below:
      1 doe notepad++ use Boost Library?
      2 the use of Boot library in notepad++ is for simplifying the GUI development ? if yes, can you give me some examples of GUI components referred in Boost by notepad++
      3 what is SciLexer.dll for?

      thanks in advance

        1. Yes
        2. No; Boost is used in Notepad++ for its regular expression engine, not any part of its GUI
        3. SciLexer.dll is the (modified) Scintilla project code that is the core of Notepad++'s editing abilities
