In order to get a instance of the parser, you can use:

• dim cHTML as HTMLColorizer = new HTMLColorizer( sourceTextAreaControl )
• dim cHTML as HTMLColorizer = new HTMLColorizer( sourceTextAreaControl, colorScheme ) colorScheme is a Dictionary with the keys specified by the HTMLColorizer Class To colorize the current contents of the TextArea class or subclass instance, use: * cHTML.colorize In order to change the applied color scheme, use: * cHTML.Colors newColorScheme newColorScheme is a Dictionary with the keys specified by the HTMLColorizer Class

In order to reset colors to the default color scheme:

• cHTML.resetColors

In order to define the Default Color Scheme or to change the Color Scheme to apply to the HTML source code, you need to provide the HTMLColorizer instance a Dictionary with the following keys:

• HTMLColorizer.kGeneral. Comments and the opening and closing tag characters.
• HTMLColorizer.kStrings. Color to apply to all the Strings in the source code.
• HTMLColorizer.kKeywords. Color to apply to the HTML tags and keywords.
• HTMLColorizer.kEntities. Color to apply to HTML entities.
• HTMLColorizer.kAttributes. Color to apply to HTML tags attributes.

For example, the following code creates a new Color Scheme and passes it to a instance of the HTMLColorizer class:

dim cHTML as HTMLColorizer = new HTMLColorizer( sourceTextAreaControl )

Dim d As New Dictionary

d.Value(htmlcolorizer.kGeneral) = "&c292ff2" // Comments < and > d.Value(htmlcolorizer.kStrings) = "&cba226e" // Strings d.Value(htmlcolorizer.kKeywords) = "&c292ff2" // Keywords d.Value(htmlcolorizer.kEntities) = "&cFF0000" // Entities like the HTML &copy; d.Value(htmlcolorizer.kAttributes) = "&cab4b0d" // HTML attributes

cHTML.Colors d

If the Provided dictionary lacks one or more expected keys, then the HTMLColorizer class will raise an Exception that you can catch to deal with.
