Professional HTML Editor Control(!) for Windows Forms integration?
-
Is this a programming question? Hopefully you see it like me that this is more a "Uwe is too stupid to use Google correctly" question. My question goes like this: Currently we are using the standard IE in Editor Mode to enable HTML editing capabilities inside a Windows Forms application. Now this editor is for free but is rather weak in several areas, e.g. editing HTML tables. Question: Is anyone aware of a professional HTML editor that we can purchase to integrate into our products? The ultimate solution would be to license the editor inside VS.NET or Expression Web, but I really found no resources whether/how this is possible? Thanks for your time and answers!

Thanks John, I am aware of that editor. Unfortunately they do not seem to support tables or HTML at all.

What exactly is the problem with that? I have IE hosted as an editor + form designer in my app and it works pretty good even for tables. The only problem I have is with the formatting of the HTML.

It is based on FrontPage and is not licensable yet. But I agree that is the deal.

I saw one a long time ago that did what you want, this one might be it: http://www.netrixcomponent.net/ProductPage.aspx?ProductId=8&SiteId=6[^] But the website looks unfamiliar. There are a few that are not based on interoping IE if you hunt around.

What about http://www.terrainformatica.com/htmengine/[^] I know the author is (or was) a CP member. Here's an editor by the same group that apparently is based on their html engine: http://blocknote.net/index.shtml[^]

Thank you for your reply. In fact, VS.2008 and Expression Web are completely new written Editor (code name "Quartz"). Editing tables inside IE compared to Word is really awfully bad implemented in IE (No column resizing e.g.)

Wow, thanks, that one really looks great. No licensing details found, but seems to be affordable. The website is copyright 2007, that looks a bit strange...

I notice that they claim "It is the first fully functional MSHTML implementation". Does that mean they use MSHTML, i.e. hte IWebBrowser control, which would be the same as you're doing, right?

No. To me, this means, they implemented all the functionality of MSHTML but without MSHTML. I just tried their sample application. Table handling is much more nicer than in MSHTML.

Thank you! Unfortunately, this is another host of the IE control.
