Reasonably priced WinForms text editor control...suggestions?
-
Hi, I would have thought finding a decent WinForms text editor control was a no-brainer when I started my most recent project, but there seem to be no mid-range text editors (RTF or otherwise) on the market at prices I can afford or feel good about paying. Perhaps my needs just fall into a gray zone in the market, but here's what I'd like to get without spending $600 or more: 1. Should support bullets and numbering (multi-indent) 2. Should support standard formatting (right/left/center justify; indent, outdent etc.) 3. Should support drag and drop 4. Should support standard text decoration (font, bold, italic, fore-color, back-color) I've gone a fair way to just building one myself, but the subtleties of RTF are a constant drain on my time - particularly things like numbered bullets and multi-level (indented) bullets; I'd really rather just buy something and get on with it since the text editor is a small part of the overall project. It doesn't make sense to take on the responsibility of authoring and fully testing a component like this when it really only makes up a small percentage of my application's features. Any helpful suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks for your help. P.S. Yes, I've looked at TX Edit, PinEdit WP and their contemporaries. They're really nice products, but pretty expensive and they tend to be a little too feature-rich for my needs. What I would really like would be something along the lines of FreeTextBox for WinForms.
