Displaying Different Size/Color Fonts in Memo

[Ramijami]

Hi all,

Is there a way of displaying different sized fonts in a Memo box? For e.g. I want to display something like: BIG BIGGER BIGGEST all in the memo at the same time. A search here and general delphi seems to point to TRichEdit and TRichMemo, but I have no clue as to where to find these and how to use them.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

for RichMemo you want to grab the sources from here. It can be done easily by using SVN client (such as tortoise svn or command line).

As you can see (by the link above) there's file "richmemopackage.lpk" among these sources. You need to start Lazarus then go to "Packages" menu, select "Open Package" and then select this file.
The package dialog will open. There you'll need to press "Install" to install the package. It will require Lazarus to be rebuilt and restart.

As a result you should see RichMemo available in "Common Controls"

There is lzRichEdit too.
