Hi All,

I am trying to use RichMemo 1.0.0 from Lazarus Code and Component Repository [1]. It installs in the "Common Controls" component tab and it is badly broken!!!

If I attempt to add a new RichMemo to a form (at design time) then I get an "Error moving component" error and the code for the RichMemo is NOT created inside the form's unit. Note that the RichMemo does appear on the form but it cannot be selected (except with the Object Inspector).

Error moving component
Error moving component RichMemo1:TRichMemo

Has anyone had any luck with this component?!? I assume that since it is at version 1.0.0 and there is a sample project that someone must had some success at some point with it.

The form1.lfm in the samples folder contains the follow field:

LCLVersion = '0.9.27'

So that would indicate that version 1.0.0 of TRichMemo was developed with this version of Lazarus. Does anyone know who worked/s on this component??? (Dated 22 June 2009)

Would someone please have a look at it and see it they can make it work??? ... as a new version, obviously. I would be happy to test the next version of it. :-)))

Sample new tform with TRichMemo added. Unit1.pas does NOT contain the code for the creation of the TRichMemo nor the uses RichMemo statement.

object Form1: TForm1
Left = 290
Height = 300
Top = 215
Width = 400
Caption = 'Form1'
ClientHeight = 300
ClientWidth = 400
LCLVersion = '0.9.28.2'
object RichMemo1: TRichMemo
Left = 240
Height = 90
Top = 62
Width = 150
HideSelection = False
Lines.Strings = (
'RichMemo1'
)
TabOrder = 0

  end

end

Hi

If you are using the "official" 0.9.28 version of Lazarus then I recommend the trunk version, 0.9.29. It has many improvements.
