Re: Cannot load a lexer

SCI_SETILEXER does not return anything. There aren't even any checks
on that call, Scintilla just stores the value given.

https://scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_SETILEXER

> Dim pLexer As Any Ptr = CreateLexer("freebasic")

Good. Check for NULL.

> Dim result As ULong = scintilla_send_message(sci, SCI_GETLEXER, 0, pLexer)

SCI_GETLEXER doesn't take any arguments. At this point it will likely
return something boring like 0.

> CONST SCI_SETILEXER As UInteger = 2187

From Scintilla.h:
#define SCI_SETILEXER 4033

2187 is not associated with lexing:
#define SCI_GETOVERTYPE 2187
