I've created multiple documents, all of which are viewed in a single
Scintilla control, one at a time.

Can I get the text of the documents without first attaching the documents
to the Scintilla control?

I think using the Qt bindings (or copying their code[1] and accessing
the document instance in C++ directly) is the only way to use Scintilla
with model-view separation like one would expect.

Neil/Matthew,
Thanks for the responses.

The link Matthew gave is certainly along the lines of what I asking about.

I guess it seems a lot simpler to just keep a hidden Scintilla control
somewhere and use it as a way station for accessing documents without
messing with the visible GUI content.
