Hi, Michael,
Sorry to bring up this old thread, but I was away for some time
with something else.

My first question is:
The EVT_STC_UPDATEUI event is called when wxSTC control has been created.
When this hapeens I only need to display "0001:0001", however, since it goes to
the handler it displays "* 0001:0001", which means that the content has been
modified (star in front of the position).
How do you differentiate between those 2 events?

My second question is:
I'm using wxSTC in Doc/View MDI app. I set up the language highlightning,
but when I start typing, the color does not change. When I step through the
code I see that it calls the neccessary "colorize" routine, and the text should be
colorized, but it's not.
Any suggestions on what might be the problem? Or at least how to debug it?
I made my view the same way as in the docview sample, but trying to set breakpoint
in the view OnDraw() does not produce anything as the program does not go
there.

Thank you.
