>Code folding is not available. The editor component is an ActiveX component (CodeMax) and the developer is no longer in business. I had thought of moving to another editor component but it would be a very large effort as the editor methods are tied to the behavior of CodeMax. But CodeMax does do code block highlighting; for instance, if you place your cursor on the beginning IF command it will highlight it and the closing ENDIF command (there is also a quick key to jump to matching code block via CTRL-[ key). All the color syntax highlighting can be customized. I actually have the full source code of the CodeMax editor (C++ code) which could be enhanced to add the code folding -- I just don't have the C++ knowledge at that level.

The only part of the SCX/VCX editor that I have not completed is the layout editor (visual form showing all controls) component. This component is largely completed (got to work out some bugs with nested objects); however, I typically use the standard MODIFY FORM or MODIFY CLASS commands to do the layout and then use my editor for the method writing so this has not been a priority for me to work on.

Great work, anyway.
