Anyone know of or have an expanded function memoedit that includes a spell 
checker,  select text, cut, copy and paste text, copy and paste from the 
clipboard, etc.?

I'm keeping my app in text mode for now, but is there a memoedit type 
construct for hybrid use?

Ira Emus had a Clipper memoedit package called Mr. Edit, which was 
excellent, but it is not available as 32-bit.

Any direction, suggestions and/or advice will be appreciated.

Ah the good old days - a very nice piece of software indeed!

That's a shame - when porting a Clipper application some years ago I
contacted the makers of Mr.Edit but unfortunately they didn't have any
interest in creating a 32bit version...

Seems like you will have either implement somithing yourself or go with
some 3rd party (ActiveX) component, which can also be a pain to implement.

Al,

Another fellow Mr Edit user - I would be interested if you find a 
replacement!  I have looked into it and not found this feature yet...

Best regards,

Bruce

Emus just responded to my email to http://www.extrasensory.com  saying that 
he just got a 64-bit machine and might "think about" redoing Mr. Edit and 
Telepathy. Go to his site and nag him!

Ira is one of the good guys and he might do it just for the fun of it. It's 
likely not too much more than a 32-bit recompile.

Nice news. Not that I'm in need of Mr.Edit anymore...

Most likely not - as all of the low-level APIs used by Mr.Edit where
Clipper-specific.

All,

Just had an eamil from Ira - he is not likely to do a new Mr Edit unless 
there is a lot of demand.....

MemoEdit() is still avaiable in Xbase++
you can also use XbpMLE to show/edit a Memofield Type "C"

XbpMLE can also "show" RTF when using :format := 3

to "edit" RTF use activeX RICHTX32.OCX
or RunShell( '"C:\Meine Docs\hello.RFT"', 
"C:\Programme\Windows\Zubehr\Wordpad.exe" )

if you like activeX look for TXcontrol.OCX. it is not cheap but include what 
you want.
