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.

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

56I've build the demo with D5 and D6 and belive it should also compile on D7.
