Dave Brock's TSyntaxMemo (for Delphi/C++ Builder), and it allows you
to turn states on and off and customize highlighting based upon the
state, which could (theoretically) provide more than simple regular
expression power.


I've started using it for the LPM and C++ windows in the PAISLEI IDE,
and it seems quite powerful in this regard.
