Hi

Is there a demo of how to use Style Templates?

I want to restrict the user to use only predefined styles preferable stored outside the program in for example an ini file.

StyleTemplates are reserved for future use.

As for limiting a set of styles, right click the editor, choose "Settings" in the popup menu, select "Use a predefined set of styles".
After that, new styles will not be created when inserting/pasting RTF and RVF files. So, if you application does not have commands which add new styles, new styles will never be added in documents.

Hi,

Can this be done at designtime too (through the inspector?)

Yes, the sequence I described must be done at design time.
You can change properties in the Object Inspector, but using a component editor ("Settings" in the context menu when you right click TRichView in Delphi) is simpler.
