Hi all,
I need to be able to support a basic RTF editor within my Lazarus Mac OS X app. By basic I mean WordPad like functionality. Bold, Italic, Underline, Text Alignment and Font selection.

Is anyone working on such a Lazarus component, or has anyone worked out a way to embed the TextEdit app into their application?

Dominique.

I'd encourage you to use svn version, rather than downloadable CCR version. Some bugs were fixed, but not the donwloadable version is not updated.

svn version is avaialble here:
https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-ccr/components/richmemo

if you find any bug about the component, please report them at the bug tracker, under Lazarus-CCR project.

thanks,
dmitry

Great stuff Dmitry, I've installed it and will try it out tomorrow.

Dominique.

Hi Dimitry,
I've been using the TRichMemo and it works well.

I've submitted a couple of bug reports and a feature request via sourceforge.

Thanks again for working on this component, it has saved my bacon.

Dominique.

Could you give a link? :)
I don't use sourceforge backtracker. It's better for me, to know about the , at the "Lazarus-CCR" project.

thanks,

Oops my misunderstanding then. I thought that bug reports for CCR had to go through SF rather the the FP's Mantis.

I'll resubmit them to Mantis later today.

For the time being , the links are...

I added Dmitry as user in the Lazarus-CCR sf bug tracker and assugned these issues to him. He can decide to close them there, if he wishes.

Dmitry, can you add about where to add bug reports to http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/RichMemo ? For example like:http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/ACS#Bug_reporting_.2F_Feature_Request

It's done, now.

dmitry

I've submitted a couple of bug reports and a feature request via sourceforge.

I've fixed both bugs (you'll need to update both LCL and CCR). I'm closing the feature request at sourceforge, please create it at the Mantis.

thanks,
dmitry

Do you still want me to add these bugs to Mantis?

I'll test out the fix for the bugs tonight or tomorrow.

I've already added the feature request to Mantis @ http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=14622

If they're fixed (please test), there's no need to report them to the Mantis.

thanks,

Yes Fixed and working. Thanks for fixing it so quickly. I might send you a better demo if I have time.

Thanks! I appreciate your efforts.

Hi Dimitry,
I think I spoke too soon.

After some further testing, while creating a new demo for TRichMemo, it appears that the CaretPos X & Y variables are out of sync by 1 position.

Btw, should I send you the .pas and .lfm file for the new demo or would you like me to upload it somewhere? Maybe as part of a new bug report?

Dominique.

sure. please report the bug, and attach the demo, with the report.

thanks,

How do you check that CaretPos is out of sync?

thanks,

I have attached the updated uni1.* files to the following bug report... http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=14635

Unzip them into your samples directory, compile project1.lpr and load up an RTF file.
You should then be able to see the bug I'm reporting. That is probably easier than me explaining it.

NOTE : This demo is not 100% finished, but I've uploaded it as it shows the CaretPos bug.

I've also reported a bug relating to the CanUndo property and also a couple of other Delphi compatibility feature requests.

Dominique.

Hi Dimitry,
Thanks for taking the time to look at the bug report, but please re-open issue 14635 becuase the CaretPos is definitely returning the wrong value for X.

I should have clarified in the report to load up an RTF file with about 30-40 lines of text in it
Once the Caret gets to about line 24-26, the X values jumps to 4 then 7 and keep on increasing, as you move down for no apparent reason, even though the caret is still in the very first column all the time. Y seems to be behaving correctly, which I didn't notice earlier.

Dominique.
