component of formatted text
« on: October 04, 2012, 02:04:09 pm »
a big problem in Lazarus is the lack of a component of type RichText (existing in Delphi) that supports bold, italic, underline, images, etc..
for Windows and Linux.

The components tested do not work properly, and not always in different operating systems.

Big? How many applications require it?

What are they? I've tried RichMemo and RichView, and RichMemo works perfectly for me (I don't test images, only text manipulations, because I only need that).

You always can use THTMLPort or TIpHTMLPanel instead of RichView. Of course only if you need display, not edit in runtime

Looks like someone had the same problem:

I am using CodeTyphon v 2.90, the RichView component palette is working very well here, as you can see in the picture attached.

In Windows (its image) can work, but does not work in Linux until compiles and runs, but when you hover over any link displays an error. See image:

Sorry for the delay, but I do not work on Linux, so had to install Ubuntu and everything. After that, I am able to run the demo of RichView without trouble, the links work properly and images and font enhancement shows as expected.
