Integrate external text editor in lazarus application
« on: January 08, 2024, 08:54:00 pm »
I would like to integrate an external text editor in lazarus applications. The editor should out of the box be a bit more streamlined than tmemo or tsynedit. It should have the ability to send and receive information to and from the lazarus program.
Any tip on how to achieve this is in an as simple way as possible is appreciated.

Hi
You could try on Qt/Kde based systems, to get a hold of an instance of the QT-editor used in "Kate", "Featherpad" & "KWrite"...
It will take some(a lot) of fiddling with qt's libraries, but maybe ...just maybe  %)

If it is just for Windows you can use either word or wordpad through the TOM interfaces (COM). Word does not work for Office365 in the cloud, though. Only a local install. But wordpad may be enough.
More cross-platform is OpenOffice or LibreOffice through XPCom.
Lightweight and also cross platform is Richmemo,  ,or kmemo for that matter, which is a bit better than Tmemo or TSynEdit for Lazarus.

Wasn't WordPad deprecated/announced to be removed in the future by MS?
