Re: [fxscintilla-users] RE: example seems to not work

[Gilles Filippini]

I don't have a cygwin box to try your example.
All I can say for now is that it compiles and runs fine on my Linux box. 
It opens a small window at the top left corner of the screen.
Try using PLACEMENT_SCREEN instead of PLACEMENT_DEFAULT. It should make 
your window centered on the screen. You may also want to specifiy fixed 
width and height for the main window, say:
        new FXMainWindow(&application, "FXScintilla Example", NULL,
                NULL, DECOR_ALL, 0, 0, 600, 400);

HTH
