Doubts (LoadLibrary)

[Andrzej Borucki]

I want wrap Scintilla in Delphi/FreePascal component and Java JNI. My doubts: After compiling source under Windows, it create two libraries: SciLexer.dll (~960 KB) and Scintilla.dll (~460 KB) which library I must use?
Libraries have only one function: Scintilla_DirectFunction, which is never called in examples.
In examples (dmapp.zip and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10371965/how-to-start-a-project-with-scintilla) is ::LoadLibrary("SciLexer.DLL"); but never is remembered handle of this library! Only is created some window and sendmessages. How it works?

You don't need the handle, since loading the library registers the window class.

That's pretty much how controls work on Windows: you create windows and send them messages.

The latter is only a naked Scintilla, the former is the same with all the lexers shipped
with the code. If you want syntax highlighting of some languages, use the former. If you
want to do your own lexer, or no lexer at all, use the latter.
