Re: [Lazarus] Need a good replacement for TMemo
OK, I found the reason. I had made experimental reordering in component palette pages. A new installed component does not go to a user modified page. After doing "Restore defaults" the RichMemo icon became visible. It means there is a bug in the palette config code. :( Juha -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

Correct, there is no RichMemo icon on the component palette. Not found with
the component list either.
I installed the designtime package and saw the line
RegisterComponents('Common Controls', [TRichMemo]);
Maybe my earlier experiments screwed the system somehow. I will test more
later ...

I updated lazarus-ccr repo and tried to install the RichMemo_design
package. Lazarus does not crash but the RichMemo component does not
show up either. It should be in the 'Common Controls' palette page.
I tested with Lazarus trunk + LCL-GTK2 and LCL-QT5 widgetsets. For
LCL-GTK2 I had to add {$define RMLCLTRUNK} in unit Gtk2RichMemo. It is
used for function GetWidgetInfo() which was last edited by Mark in
2010. Maybe an IFDEF was needed for Lazarus trunk some 14 years ago
but now the code should be updated.
Does RichMemo installation work for somebody?

Yes. But you should not use the version in the CCR repository. You
probably did not see the "readme.txt" which states that the ccr version
is no longer maintained, development has been moved to github:
https://github.com/skalogryz/richmemo. Or when you use the OPM version
it will be working, too.
I agree that having the out-dated richmemo in CCR is misleading. There
are two options: I could delete that these files in OPM completely and
keep only the readme, or I could copy the current github files over them
(but I do not like the next step to become maintainer of the ccr version
of richmemo...).

[Lazarus] Need a good replacement for TMemo
I am writing a new version of my document management system, called ficmake. I want to stop using TMemo as the built-in text editor, because it lacks Undo, or the ability to display line numbers, and I don't know how to fix that. But SynEdit lacks word wrap, which is just as much of a deal breaker, and RichMemo won't work. (It will compile in, but then Lazarus crashes on startup with an Access Violation.) Any suggestions? -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
