memo with images

[abc]

i would like to ask if there is any memo box that i can also put images
inside. for
example i need a memo style box where text can be entered along with
pictures
(something like most messenger programs). Is there any third party tool you
would recommend?

thanks

A standard TRichEdit can do that. It is not trivial to implement, though,
so you should use a third-party implementation, such as Robert Dunn's
TRichEditOle class or his TaeRichEdit component. Both are available at
http://home.att.net/~robertdunn/Yacs.html

Gambit is quite correct in as much as he boycotted a TMemo
and informed you that using a TRichEdit 'is not trivial'.

for example i need a memo style box where text can be
entered along with pictures (something like most messenger
programs).

Where he and I differ is that in reading your post, I hear
that you want to do an IM-type window.

Is there any third party tool you would recommend?

None that I know of but I haven't ventured this way.

Try google:

c++ messenger

looks promising.

TRichEdit can be used for that.

i read the help in borland and it doesnt say anything about being able to
add images along with
the text. i tryed to install the third party tool you suggested but i get
some weird errors with my builder 2006.

can i actually add pictures in trichedit?how?

i would like to remind that i need a memo style window that i will be able
to add normal text together with images.
thank you for your time.

Kind Regards

It wouldn't. It is not a feature that the VCL exposes. You have to use the
IRichEditOle interface directly for it, specifically its InsertObject()
method.

Again, please go to the website I directed you to earlier. It has code
samples that demonstrate how to do what you are asking for.

You need to be more specific.

Yes.

how?

The code on that website shows you how.

That will work just fine with a TRichEdit.
