Needed: Delphi component or code to print RichEdit contents to a Canvas

I need to print the contents of a RichEdit or possibly a derived control to
both an Image Canvas and a Printer Canvas. I would like to be able to control
the output rectangle. Does anybody know of a component or code which will do
this?

Thanks

Dave

You should be able to do it just by sending it a EM_FORMATRANGE message,
passing it the handle of your canvasses. Read the WinAPI documentation of
this message for more details.

(PS. All guesswork on my part; I've never done it myself).

Check out the Borland Technical Information Document TI3204, it fixes
a problem with NT4 but should also show you how a RichEdit control
prints.
