   Old versions of SciTE performed the lexing themselves by handling the
StyleNeeded notification. Look in
http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTE110.zip
   Find SCN_STYLENEEDED in SciTE.cxx and follow the calls to KeyWords.cxx
which contains simple lexers like ColourisePropsDoc and complex ones like
ColouriseHyperTextDoc and ColouriseCppDoc. To receive SCN_STYLENEEDED in
your container window, set the lexer to SCLEX_CONTAINER.
