Text Editor
-
Hello! I want to design a complex text editor that will be capable to design, fill and print necessary marketing papers according to the law. The negative side - i do not know how to make it happen, which classes or libraries can help me to do it? (Speaking plain, make something as powerful as MsWord when it comes to designin a document) OR: How can i export the designed document template from Microsoft Word to an application, where i will fill it with data (from Postgres 9.1) and print it? Thank you.

As they say in the Emerald Isle: "You don't want to start from here!". The first thing you need to do is spend some time with some of the C# tutorials, paying particular attention to classes and how they can be used. There are some good tutorials here[^], and lots of CodeProject articles[^] to help you. Next you perhaps need to learn about how to access Microsoft Word documents using the Interop assemblies[^]. Once you have mastered these areas you can probably move on to the design phase of your editor.

Well i`m not a beginner in C#, it is my first application with such demand. I`ve built a lot of apps using classes on C+ and some on C#. Thank you for showing me the right way, looks like i better master Interlop assemblies head on...

Is this project to be on-line, off-line, both ? It sounds to me like you are implying you want to create structured Forms (using the word 'Forms' in the 'web-sense' of that word here, not referring to WinForms). Those structured Forms, if I am understanding you correctly, would have some very formal structure dictated by legal requirements. So the issue of validation per entry arises, as well as issues of sequence of entry: if certain fields are not filled out, should other fields even be visible, or enabled ? This can be done inside Mircrosoft Word, inside Adobe's and other companies PDF produce/edit/read programs. 3rd. party controls for .NET include Forms Managers, Wizard creators, etc. I would seek to achieve these goals within existing products ... unless ... some fat client wanted to pay me a lot of money for a custom solution that would be a major effort. best, Bill
Scipio: "That's true, Berganza; and what makes the miracle greater is, that we not only speak, but hold intelligent discourse, as though we had souls capable of reason; whereas we are so far from having it, that the difference between brutes and man consists in this, that man is a rational animal, and the brute is irrational." Cervantes, "Colloquy of Dogs," 1613CE. The two talking dogs, Scipio, Berganza, are hallucinations in the mind of a soldier with plague fever undergoing a "sweating" cure.
