Is RichView appropriate ?

Is RichView a good functional replacement for DreamRichEdit ?

As you probably know, the Dream Company has withdrawn support for its products. I use TEasyRichEdit as an embedded component in my C++ Builder application as an RTF editor and, through my own coding, as a merge component for printing of RTF based despatch notes. As an RTF editor, I use it to create and store a database of customer correspondence in RTF stored database fields.

TEasyRichEdit works but prints out the odd corrupted pages on larger print runs when I merge despatch notes. As I don't see much prospect of being able to resolve this with the Dream Company being persona non grata, I am considering RichView to replace it and accepting having to recode and start again.

If you give a list of features that you need, I'll answer if they are supported.

@johnb:

The Dream Company RichEdit component is a lighter version of the TRIchView / TRichEdit. Using TRichView will probably be suitable for your job, although it will add a bigger footprint to your application.

Hope this helps.
