Not a busybody but a concerned forum user and I'm not the only one see the remarks MarkMLI gave you.
But you just don't get it no matter how often we try to explain to you to keep the discussion on topic.
And before this forum item ends in chaos I will not respond to any of your remarks (in this forum item).

If you are so concerned why did you leave poor Etienne_L waiting for 2 days without helping him??
Did it ever occur to you that a new forum user might not enjoy being ignored for days after asking for help?

I actually helped Etienne_L get some help by drawing attention to this thread. I don’t know if Etienne_L will ever read this. Maybe he left after being ignored by people who could help for two days. Did you ever think of that?

No help? I see more than 2 pages of tips and suggestions, so he was not ignored at all and I respond only if I see I can help.
End of discussion!

That’s right lots of tips and suggestions after I lured markml into the thread after 2 days and others followed. The first posts on thread were not from someone who is familiar with tmemo. In any case if the op has not abandoned thread it’s time for him to thank everyone who helped and mark it solved since he doesn’t  seem to have any questions. To do anything else would be rude and ungrateful to the people who tried to help. Right?

I believe the original poster who has abandoned thread was asking about tmemo lcl controls in Lazarus
I suggest not jumping to that sort of conclusion prematurely, since he might merely be waiting for an answer he understands.

Joanna, I'm curious as to how your post constitutes "luring MarkMLl into the thread", as if yours was a proactive and credit-worthy action  :o

The diff viewer in double commander (which is written in laz/fpc) does it as well (I haven't looked at its code yet) but those are probably not tmemo's.

Maybe TSynEdit?

It actually works. With very simple code.

I knew that someone would probably respond to the “ the original poster who has abandoned thread” bit because many people have dark fantasies about what my intentions are.

I saw the thread and I thought wow that’s an interesting idea and bookmarked it because I wanted to know what the solution is. After a day nobody had answered it and I thought how sad , some poor newbie needs help and is being ignored. So I started asking around in chat if anyone knew how to do it and couldn’t find any straight forward solutions. Then I mentioned that the thread Was being ignored to wizzwizz who tried to bump it by posting but still it was ignored.
I then welcomed op to forums and asked to see the code he had so far. I was ignored. Then I edited my post with some hints and was still ignored. Then I deleted my post in disgust realizing that I had been played. Then I posted again later because wizzwizz was giving non lcl controls solutions.

It would be nice if people didn’t make threads and abandon them wouldn’t it? This seems to happen fairly often.
At least it led to an interesting discussion about tmemo.  :)

I, for one, do not have dark fantasies about your intentions. Like many, I suspect, I have better, more constructive things to do with my time!

Time to follow @JanRoza's advice (even if they did say it twice ;)) and say "no more with this 'discussion'!" :o

He didn’t contact the Lazarus team because he thought it would be unreasonable to demand that they move the hosting site.
...
The Lazarus project has lost at least one good programmer because Gitlab bans innocent people.

Allowing that there are users in countries that shall not be named, do you really think there aren't already workarounds in place?

If the project has lost good people it's because you're messing things up by thinking you can solve problems of this type without communicating effectively with the core team.

Do you think that I haven’t had a discussion with martin_fr About this very serious problem already ?
He said that someone has to volunteer to do the workaround and be reliable. Even if someone does submit bugs and patches on the behalf of others the excluded person might not be given credit for their work and that’s not fair.

It’s not exactly clear why the project can’t be moved to another website that doesn’t ban developers from certain countries. He mentioned it being a lot of work to move it and I really don’t know what other hosting options are available. There is not enough manpower to maintain a website themselves.

I just think it’s ironic that some not so enlightened people have come up with a mythology Casting me as some sort of evil monster  that eats newbies alive whilst pascal developers that we need are literally being banned from gitlab and giving up on contributing !! :o

If anyone wishes to actually talk to the developer who got banned I can introduce you. {you don’t even need an account, it’s super duper easy to get to where he is } I’ll also add that this fellow possesses an extraordinary amount of patience and was willing to jump through hoops and put in extra effort to try to help project. Not many people are willing to do that. Does anyone care enough to actually go talk to him? Anyone?  :-[

OK: so that's using SynEdits, setting a handler for OnStatusChange, and setting the TopLine property. Certainly does work (at least to the extent given in OP's question), and I for one would have no problem using a synedit rather than a memo for this sort of thing.
