Wish: RTF editor control with wordwrap

Kukulkan · Post by **Kukulkan** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 10:31 am

Hello,

I have two projects (win/linux) which need an editor-control where the user can compose messages (in fact for e-mail). The current editor control lacks too many functions:

- im- and export RTF
- wordwrap
- functions to handle selections
- functions to change the font of selections
- functions to set/get format of selection
- etc.

I can't do this using API because it has to work on Linux, too!

This is a huge wish for the next release/version.

Info
Realbasic -> styled editfield
VB6 -> RichTextBox Control
.NET -> RichTextBox Control
Delphi -> TRichEdit
PureBasic -> ????

[EDIT]
Maybe it can be a HTML editor, too. That will be ok.

Normally, on Windows, there is LibEditorPlus...

For the Linux Version, I am going to work on it in two months, when i will have my new laptop with Ubuntu

Hi Progi1984,

Thank you. Can it do WordWrap (most needed) and RTF load/save? I can't find this feature directly.

Is it good to implement a library on V0.4 Beta state into a commercial application with hundreds of installations?

A second thing to mention:
As mentioned before, it is needed for a commercial application. It should be a maintained and supported control working on Linux and Windows. I can't use any library's developed by schoolboys or students.

It must be a standard PureBasic gadget or a reliable extension with support (even commercial) or free PB sourcecode (so that I can fix bugs by myself).

RTF : Yes
WordWrap : Yes

OK... personnally with the V0.4 beta which is in beta stage since two months, i've just have one bug report from line numbering so i'm consedering not in beta stage....

At the moment, i'm going to release LibEditorPlus with some others functions (300 for all gadgets) : a lot of examples and no documentation at the moment. Some news the first on April.

For use in commercial application, I agree to do that. My support will be more and more better when i put my bug tracker online.

So the decision is yours : LibEditorPlus or Coding from scratch....
