VCL Rich Edit Control (CTP)

Word® Inspired Rich Text Editor

This release includes the community technology preview of our VCL Rich Text Editor. It enables your users to create or edit rich text documents with ease using a set of text formatting commands. Programmatically, these commands are implemented by Action objects. By simply liniking the Action objects to elements of your UI, such as ribbons, menus, and toolbars, you can easily create a powerful word processor in your application.

This initial version ships with the following features:

• Character and paragraph formatting
• Images
• Styles
• Lists (bulleted, numbered and multilevel)
• Undo/Redo history
• Clipboard operations
• Overtype mode
• Text highlight
• Formatting marks visualization

Please note that the initial version of the Rich Edit Control is only supported using RAD Studio XE or later, and, furthermore, only in 32-bit apps. You are free to use this control in your applications today. However, be aware that it is a preview version and therefore the API, methods, properties, and/or features may change before the final release.
