Board index » delphi » Looking for memo component with text styles

I need a simple memo or rich text component that allows text to be
plain, bold, italic, and/or underline. I don't need or want anything
else. Preferably, it would load and save its contents as an HTML
string, although RTF is acceptable.
I can use TRichEdit, although it does a little more than I need.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
 

Any third-party components are going to do more than TRichEdit, not less. So
you might as well just use it and ignore the capabilities you don't need.

Hi,
I invite you to check PlusMemo (www.ecmqc.com/plusmemo/pmHome.htm).
Looks like a perfect fit for what you need, except may be loading in html.

Actually, that is not true at all. There are several vendors making
enhanced memo components that have are less than TRichEdit. Not just
one, several. I own PlusMemo, and the vendor has been very helpful
when I needed support.
I bought it when I had a need for text in two colors, but TRichEdit
was not behaving well. I recently bought TMS Components, which also
has a similar control, but I haven't tried it since I am familiar with
PlusMemo.

You got a message from Raymond about his PlusMemo. As a user of
PlusMemo, I can vouch that it is a good product, and he gives good
tech support. I also own TMS Components that includes a similar
control. But I haven't used that specific control because I am familiar
with PlusMemo.

and are suitable for different tasks. They all do more than you want but you
never know what you're going to want until you try to do it, I find.
If all you want is to embolden and style easily and want to pay as little as
possible then SynEdit is the one. Free, good highlighting capabilities.
synedit.sourceforge.net/
If you want really powerful flexibility, as far as highlighting and user
interaction wrapped up in simple elegance is concerned, then PlusMemo is the
absolute nuts.

RichView is what you should use when you want to add powerful formatting,
hypertext, interactivity, import/conversion/display and word processing
funtionality. Great add-ons.
