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!

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but Microsoft has the Visual Studio 2008 Shell[^] which you can license.

Thank you, good resources! Seems that this is already too much, I would prefer to just get their HTML editor :cool:

Also be aware that DevExpress is coming out with some kind of Uber rich text editing component not based on the rtf control and there are a number of word processing controls that support html and don't rely on IE as they are built from scratch. Search using that angle more than html editor or you'll get a lot of asp.net stuff.

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

Give http://www.fckeditor.net/ [^] a try
Thanks, Richard, but web editors like these that have a server and a client part and rely on the underlying web browser exists a lot. There is even an article here (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/edit/WFtinyMCE.aspx[^]) to show how to integrate in Windows Forms. But at the end of the day, they all rely on the underlying IE.

Thank you! Again, as the previous posters, those are all editors based on an (e.g.) IE or Firefox. I do need a stand-alone to host inside a Windows Forms app.

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.
