I know. But what has it to do with Synedit?
In a way, Synedit is already WYSIWYG though. You see sourcecode and you get sourcecode. ;-)

Now I see what you meant. It's the same question as this one, right?

No, Synedit can't be used as a RichEdit Control.
It's a Source-Code Editor. It can only handle fixed-width fonts. In a way it's column-based, which is not how a RichEdit Control works.
It's not designed for different line-heights, and it has no idea about some vital concepts of a RichEdit Control, like Wordwrapping or Paragraphs.
It's so different, it wouldn't even be a good starting point for developing such a Component.

Yes, I made a lot of questions about this same issue.  SynEdit doesn't fit this matter and RichEdit is uportable. So... Thanks for your answer.
