Outlook Express [Mail Compose]
-
I've noticed that Outlook Express has a very nice compose message window. Wow, It supports writting you're messages and inserting images and all that great stuff. Nah, its not hard to write you're own compose mail window supporting the user dragging and dropping images in and changing font exactly like Microsoft Word and a million other applications... :(( I am still trying to write my own content view that can support displaying HTML and at the same time allowing it to be activly editable. I tried using the WebBrowser control.. I figured i could draw a blinking cursor on top of it when it is being editted and then just insert HTML code relative to what the user is typing.. (ugly code), and as i stated above i tried doing it the bare skeleton code way designing my own HTML display and edit engine from scratch. WOW, AM I CRAZY? Alright. The question i have is how to accomplish my feat - or am i already or have tried doing it the right way? [btw] If no replys i'll spend many weeks writting an entire HTML display/edit engine.. :(( ------------------------------ editted ----------------------------------- I'm adding a link to a zip file that contains my solution for building a engine that is able to display text and picture content and other stuff so that anyone wanting to figure out what i am doing or mabye they could use the content engine. :| http://www.freewebs.com/joshmcguire/TMLE.zip Thats the method i am currently working on to create a mail edit view capable of converting HTML into it's .NET object format that can be editable. (The edit part is just now being coded). I hope someone has a easier, quicker, and better way soon. :((
