I am new to LAzarus and work almost entirely in a Windows environment. I'm trying to create an application that edit's text in an RTF way and while I ve looked at RichEdit (I think is the name) it doesn't seem to support such things as alignment for paragraphs etc.

I really need a good RTF control, has any one had any luck converting a Delphi one they wouldn't mind sharing, or is there a good one I've missed. It needs to be able to work with RTF files, editing like a word processor with all the usual windows text control, like selections etc.

Please help out the new guy :) This has me totally foxed and is make or break for my application. Will be freeware btw and I can't afford commercial controls.

Thanks for your patience and help

Did you look at SynEdit under Lazarus components?

SynEdit doesn't implement RTF-like functionality. Unfortunately I don't know any corresponding component either. Maybe one of the HTML viewers may serve as a starting point...

True.
If there is a good Delphi component someone could try porting it.

Not tested in Lazarus, but RichView is a great RTF component for Delphi, take a look at this migrated package:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/RichView

P.S: please, give us your feedback, in a near future project I'll have to migrate a Delphi app with this component.

I have just installed RichView and my first operation (RichView1.AddText('abcd', 0);) does nothing.

Good to know. Did you try this?:

Yes! Thank you this is just what I need, it supports all the basic functionality I want and it's nice and easy to use - thank you for pointing this out to me.

Any ideas when the lzRichEdit.Print would be implemented?

Please, contact the developer of the package here: https://groups.google.com/group/lazarus-br?hl=pt-BR

Finally a RichEdit component on Lazarus.

One could create a Wiki entry for this component.

Ant?nio, good idea, I'm sure people will be happy with your contribution... Even if it is only a page (in English or Portuguese) saying the component exists and where it can be found - that will already help a lot of people, I think.

I have just contact the author and he says that is making deep modifications on the component and prefers to wait a bit.

Anyway, I have download and successfully installed lzRichEdit from the link below:

http://code.google.com/p/lazarus-br/downloads/detail?name=lazarus-br-28-10-2011.zip&can=2&q=

The file contains other stuff as well.

I think that the copy of SVN is up to date:

Good luck!
