I was wondering how I would search text in a textview and change the colour of it(Like syntax highlighting). I already have a basic text editor written with save/load functions.
Im using monodevelop in gtk#.
Thanks a lot —

I will use gtk api nomenclature here, there should be gtk# equivalents.
For search, GtkTextIter has a forward and backward search method, and is meant to be used with GtkTextView/GtkTextBuffer.
For syntax highlighting, you might investigate GtkSourceView, and its c# wrapper, it has all of the syntax highlighting infrastructure in place. It’s also a subclass of GtkTextView, so GtkTextIter will work with it.
