You'll probably want to take a look at QScintilla: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/qscintilla/intro

Answer 2

Try: Code::Blocks

It is incredibly powerful IDE, yet lightweight, only 20MB. I use to program in C++ with opencv. And if you want to increase even more, you can add several plugins, like: Eclipse IDE, but without its 200MB.

Good luck.
