Hello,

For the dialogues in Tk::Wizard, I'd want to replace the r/o textbox with e.g. a Tk::TextHighlight for which I can write my own syntax rules. I am not sure though if this can be sub-classed or requires going back to basic TK widgets. Just writing

use Tk::Wizard;
use Tk::TextHighlight;
my $wiz = new Tk::Wizard;
$wiz->addPage (
  sub {
    my $aa = q/return $self->parserError($txt); #for debugging/;
    $wiz->_text_frame(
      {
      -title => 'hmm',
      -boxedtext => \$aa,
      -syntax => 'Perl'
      }
    )->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => "both");
  }
);

surely doesn't work..

Update: two small changes in Tk/Wizard.pm i.e. require Tk::TextHighlight; and in sub _text_frame 

my $t = $frame->Scrolled("TextHighlight" ... syntax => ( $args->{ -syn
+tax } || 'Perl' )

and I have syntax coloring! Can't edit though, and not sure if this breaks something else. Same happens with Tx::CodeText
