It won't help you a lot. TextEditor is really made and optimized for displaying and editing text using a monospace font. Automatic line-breaking was added recently, and is a sort of hack. Making a rich-text editor is a bit like programming something like LibreOffice Writer, with less features. You must have paragraphs, using any font, size, colours, style... applied to any group of characters in the paragraph. Then you need a layouting routine that handle where and how to display paragraph. Then you need to display a cursor, the selected text. You need to be able to transform any mouse position in the editor window into a position in the text. You have to implement an undo/redo system. Only the rest is similar to what exists in TextEditor: keyboard handling, shortcuts, saving and loading. It's the simpler. Maybe if I have time I will make a library that implement the paragraph stuff on top of a vectorial canvas (i.e. a sort of DrawingArea that contains vectorial objects). It's interesting to have a "canvas" layer between the paragraphs and the final ScrollArea. Because after you can "easily" add other objects, like images, tables, vectorial drawings... until you have a real text processor. Interesting project if you have at least six months. -- Benoît Minisini ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
