| 21 | I have often, in various mails on the delphi-dhtmledit list, pointed out that
|
|---|
| 22 | The DHTMLEdit component is just a wrapper around the MSHTML engine - the
|
|---|
| 23 | Wrapper contains coding that enables additional features like:
|
|---|
| 24 | Table operations (insert row, insert column, merge cells, and so on).
|
|---|
| 25 | Absolute drop mode.
|
|---|
| 26 | Source code white space and formatting preservation.
|
|---|
| 27 | Custom Editing Glyphs.
|
|---|
| 28 | ........

|

|
|---|
| 31 | Replacing DHTMLEdit with the MSHTML engine (or as in this case with the
|
|---|
| 32 | EmbeddedED component) means that you need to code a lot of features, like
|
|---|
| 33 | tablehandling and so on, witch is build in fearture in DHTMLEdit, yourself.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | I chosed to create a VCL wrapper around MSHTML and named it:
|
|---|
| 36 | TEmbeddedED~ Embedded EDitor
|
|---|
| 37 | TEmbeddedED implements most of the code you need to replace the DHTML Component
|
|---|
| 38 | (if you only need a basic editor) and it offers a lot of features never
|
|---|
| 39 | found in DHTML Edit. The main reason for encapsulating all that code in a
|
|---|
| 40 | component is that its easy to update existing editor projects with
|
|---|
| 41 | new features (in new versions of TEmbeddedED).
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | This is a short listing of the main things you have to do in order to skip
|
|---|
| 45 | DHTMLEdit in favour of the HMHTML engine in your own DHTMLEdit project.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | - Replace TDHTMLEdit with MSHTML
|
|---|
| 48 | - Call the existing DHTMLEditDisplayChanged from a new "OnUpdateUI function"
|
|---|
| 49 | - Implement Custom Editing Glyphs
|
|---|
| 50 | - Implement IHTMLEditDesigner
|
|---|
| 51 | - Implement IHTMLEditHost
|
|---|
| 52 | - Implemet code to handle the table stuff
|
|---|
| 53 | - Implemet code to handle the position stuff
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | I've build the demo with D5 and D6 and belive it should also compile on D7.
