html editor

[safra]

Hi,

I am currently adding email options to an app and would like to allow html emails. For this I need something like outlook express: text editor tab, html source code tab, preview tab.

The text editor tab will be more or less a basic wysiwyg html editor field (including font, image and table options) using a TRichEdit. At this moment I use SynEdit for the source code which is good for syntax highlighting.

I have very little experience with TRichEdit and at this point I am not sure what the best way is to convert the input in the RichEdit to html source code and reverse when the user changes the source code manually? Does TRichEdit has it's own 'source code' that can be changed dynamically? I found something about RTF but I am not sure this is what I need?

Anyone has a tip of how to structure this?

Thanks,
Raoul

Check out WPTools.com. It is a third party word processor with load/save as HTML option.

Thanks, I installed a demo of wptools and will look at it, but it is a rather complex and expensive component set.

Meanwhile it seems I need a rtf to html and html to rtf converter that supports font type, size and color, images and tables. Anyone knows a simple component or some code examples about this. I did find some information such as example code but can't get it to work and the components I founs are either to complex, thus expensive or do not support what I need.

Thanks,
Raoul
