int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
	FXApp application("test");
	application.init(argc, argv);
	FXMainWindow * win = new FXMainWindow(&application, "Test");

	// Instanciating an FXScintilla widget
	FXScintilla * scint = new FXScintilla(win, NULL, 0, LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y);

  // The Scintilla programming interface is through messages
	// à la Windows (see scintilla/doc/ScintillaDoc.html)
	scint->sendMessage(SCI_STYLESETFONT, STYLE_DEFAULT, (long)"lucida");
	scint->sendMessage(SCI_STYLESETSIZE, STYLE_DEFAULT, (long)10);
	scint->sendMessage(SCI_STYLECLEARALL, 0, 0);
