Well, I'm using now richeditctrl and I find it awesome 
But, as nothing is perfect, I'd like to have a couple of stuffs more !
1) In the toolbar, there are really many controls but... missing the view zoom one. It'll be really useful to be able to set a zoom factor relative to 100% true font size.
2) RTF import... It works about 99%, but with images it has big problems; importing from, for example, openoffice RTFs drops all images, doesn't matter on how they're anchored. It should at least import character-anchored images, or images-as-a-char, like QTF ones. It could also import other images, anchoring them to first character, for example, so we could move later on right place.
Of course, the best would be a complete support for character, paragraph, page and document anchored images, but I guess that'll be too difficult
3) I got some problems with utf8 chars; the 'ρ' character, for example, refuses to appear as it should, an hex code appears instead. Maybe it's because the control isn't in utf8 mode ? If so, there's a way to put it in that mode ?
4) As a consequence of point 3, I got a crash trying to resize characters on whole page when that page contained the ρ character. Removing it made it working.
5) It would be handy to support images drag'n drop directly from files; now dragging an image brings it full path as a text.
6) Last but not least.... it would also be nice the ability to extend standar toolbar by callback. For example, I needed an "RTF import" button and I had to add on layout after the control, but it would have been better to have it added to control toolbar.
Well... that's all
Ciao

Very, but very thanx ! It works perfectly !

Issue 1: About "real sizes", please, let us not start this again.... (search the forum for previous debates).

I was meaning just to add a button on toolbar, not to have the "real" sizes, but otoh I've seen that's quite easy to add custom buttons there... so no need for that.

Issue 2: Alerting Tom..

Well, well If you get paragraph/page anchored images and a good rtf import of them, I think UWORD could compete with M$WORD on functionality.... But I guess you'll need some tweaking on QTF format for that.

Hi there!
I'm afraid the main problem with RTF image import lies in the fact that Word normally stores images as Windows metafiles; even plain raster images are formally wrapped into metafile streams. Therefore I'm afraid that to implement RTF image import under Linux, a necessary precondition would be to write a metafile interpreter in U++; while I believe this to be an important step extending the range of U++ usability, it's not a thing I can promise to write tomorrow.

Hy Tomas,
do you think also OpenOffice rtf files store images as WMF ?
Max
Better thinking about, there's libwmf which is able to convert wmf to svg files.... that one could to the trick

Hi Thomas,
I've looked at WMF specs, they seems to me almost trivial.
What would be the needed steps to have WMF handled by UPP rtf ?
I mean... the right place where to put the WMF parser.
