[MonoDevelop] Hex editor as a widget for my application?

[Rampage]

Hi Tom,
i've managed to make it work,
it looks like the Write() method on the memory stream screws things up
just passing the array as an argument to the constructor made everything 
to work.

at least now i can show up data, but i'll have to play with the hex 
editor a lot more, even if i only need it as a hex viewer, so i'm not 
going to use all the features,
i've noticed that if i change the content of the buffer, the content 
shown doesn't change till i select part of it or scroll the scrollwindow 
container up/down.

i was also looking forward to have a fixed size for the columns couse 
expanding the window size causes the number of column to 
increase/decrease to fit the size of the window, and it's not good imho, 
i hope there is an option for this :)

also preventing the editing would be cool, but well.. i can't have it 
all.. it would be too much cool :)

by the way, thank you very much for the precious help you provided me, i 
hope i'll be able to pay you back in the near future

Best regards
Rampage.
