Is there a very very lightweight RTF editor component out there for Delphi
Win32?

I just need some very basic functionality in the form of an attached
toolbar:
Font Selection and formatting (Color, background, Size, bold, underline,
etc.)
Paragraph alignment

I don't mind if it is not data-aware; I can do all the loading/saving myself
as needed. Source code is necessary since I will probably never upgrade it.

I currently use an older version of WPTools, but I was hoping to get
something smaller without all the extras from that fine library.

If you have Woll2Woll Infopower components they have a nice light weight one
I have used.

There is TRichEdit in the Win32 pallette. You just havet to supply the
toolbar. I think there is an example in the demo folder on how to use it.

Can it be configured to be just an edit box with a toolbar? I couldn't tell
from the web site, which is so distracting with all those illegible
backgrounds on everything. Is it granular enough to be used on its own
without the entire library tagging along? I'm sure it would be cost
prohibitive anyway since I wouldn't change grids from DevExpress.

Thanks,
Johnnie

Just check the demo project in {Delphi}\Demos\RichEdit directory

I did look at that a while back, and even tried setting it up to work in a
frame, but never got it "right". I want to be able to just drop a component
on a form with all the buttons there to do common formatting. I can do that
with WPTools, but it is just such a large library to have a little
formatting in a edit box.

The InfoPower control is very simple... Drop it on and call execute.... It
is a simple editor with a Toolbar... I added Addict Spell and Thesaurus
Buttons... when I used it...

Have a look at LMDRich Pack... only $39...

Thanks for the suggestion.

I installed the trial and checked it out. It looks like the standard editor,
and then you have to supply your own toolbar and event code. I just wanted
to be able to drop an editor anywhere I needed it and not have to supply my
own toolbars and code each time.

Hi,

Only a short note: This is not quite right. For almost all standard tasks

TAction objects are available (so no coding is needed) and toolbars can be
generated automatically (use the corresponding option from contextmenu of
the RichEdit control). Using advanced options like rulers etc. require only
changing of properties. In addition the demo projects contain full featured
editors (SDI or MDI) which you can implement right away in your
applications.
