    I like the MS richedit control - and find it especially useful if I need to print RTF text from an MFC/WTL app. You can easily set the print rectangle and tell it to display on a HDC of your choosing - this allows me to have a page embedded with both RTF and other controls of my own making. The control has some limitations, but it's pretty neat and is available in some form in all versions of Windows. However, I am now after something very similar, but for HTML. I want to be able to display and, more importantly, print HTML, but with as much control over the printing process as possible. Does anyone know if the MSIE control allows full control of printing (i.e. does it allow you to specify a target HDC/print rect like the richedit one?). Are there other 3rd party HTML controls that people know of, or have had experience with? Any suggestions are welcome.

        mmh... I have something which requires .NET2 and might be 3 months away from release... (and doesn't handle table, nor list, nor image align yet)(and is bad at RTF copy/pasting) But is fully managed (i.e. full control to everything is available) Well, if you want to be a beta tester you could contact me.....

          Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

              I think he implied an MFC/ATL app, so this wouldn't cut it. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned Save an Orange - Use the VCF!

                  So did the other guy :) Plus, from what I can tell, both just use the browser's exposed Document model and app interfaces to print/edit, which is exactly what he can with the IE/MSHTML interfaces. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

                    As has been mentioned QHTM works pretty good and have used it in a number of products. However, I'm now using HTMLayout from http://www.terrainformatica.com/[^] as it supports CSS! -- Joel Lucsy
