My rich text control is still far from even semi-complete, but I think too much is done to start over, so I'm releasing it today. The number one reason of its incompleteness is that I put more emphasis on making things work exactly like in the original than on implementing more functions.
Sorry to be barging in like this and maybe it is all Old news. But ...
I have been using in a few projects, Windows side and Linux, a grate rich edit control, I'm sure every body knows, and used even if he doesn't know. "Scintilla"! It has anything a RichEdit control needs (and much more but that does not have to be used). It even has the export to RTF function. (And to HTML for clipboard operations) It has 95% EditBox emulation. It is very stable, heavily used and debugged, and highly portable. The License is a BSD type license so I don't think it will be any problem. The only things missing are the RTF parser and the MS-RichEdit emulation (Data types and message translations). But it looks like these two are what above patch and existing code has. I am almost positive that if such a parser (And emulation layer) is submitted to the Scintilla project it will be farther maintained by the project. One more thing good about it, that makes a lot of sense, is its popularity, which means there are a lot of people that know this code-base and can help fix problems. (And it does compile under wine out of the box.)
Please forgive me if all this is "Old News". I didn't check the archives. Any way just my $0.02.
