What am I doing?

I've once again resumed working on the interface rather than the actual core; I still don't even know if any of this truly works. Sheesh.

Not a whole lot to report from yesterday as I practically spent the day reading while doing the odd bit of UI tinkering. Big thanks to Rob for reminding me about SyntaxBox! Scintilla is pretty horrible overall and SB is done so much better, so I'm glad the editor is now more solid. Code folding was extremely easy to implement, unlike Scintilla where I just couldn't be bothered and worked on another part instead.

Today I started a new control for displaying parsed instructions. Think of it as a ListBox but with no user interaction, and the "current item" is always vertically centred and highlighted; currently adding column support to tabulate the view. Oh, issue: I can't get the background transparent no-matter what. I've done millions of transparent controls in the past, so this is confusing the hell out of me.

Next, I need to have a go at actually executing instructions. I've done very little bit-work in .NET so I'm not sure how that's going to go, especially as I don't even know the syntax for VB.Net; presumably it's going to be bat-shit insane compared to C#.

Nothing instead of just null still annoys me to this very day.
