Colour highlighting C++ code

When I was first looking for a C interpreter, I discovered cint in a google search and also the following page

codeproject.com/KB/cpp/Perso … piler.aspx

I can never get Visual C++ to work so eventually installed ROOT in coLinux.

Is it possible to adapt this (Scintialla and cint) to produce colour key words in the usual ROOT window? It seems that tab completion must do something similar to what is needed to check

if ‘case’ then ‘[and here the VT100 or ANSI esc sequence for blue, or green, what ever] case’

I see this being used similar to

gROOT->time()

as

gROOT->colorkeyword(on/off)

Just a feature I’d install myself if I could. It seems I’d catch typing mistakes more easily
