A am looking for a simple example of text editor made all by GDI+..

I can image one must be an expert to create a full editor: I just need
the very basic. Typing and erasing letters, basic spacing and moving
the cursor back and forth over a graphic object.

Do you have an example or a pointer, where I can learn the various
tecniques needed?

Thanks,

-P

I have a commercial text editor if you want to contact me offline. It does 
fully justified editing on a GDI+ surface of any single font.

I was planning to learn myself these tecniques, possibly by getting
some guiding advice.

However, in any case, if you have a simple demo or trial that I can
download, if you provide a pointer, I will be more than happy to give
it a try.
(My email address is working)

Thanks,

I was curious about this also. Seems like a lot of work to build a function 
Text edit box.
Is it as much work as I'm thinking?

I was think o f building basic editor, with a few new new features for my 
own commercial use...

Actually, its loads of work if you want any sort of wysiwyg result.

I hesitate to propose my control because it cost me a fortune to develop and 
I can't give free-trials or tryouts without developing the final commercial 
aspects of the tool. As I have a day job that takes 132% of my available 
time its difficult to envisage that any time soon.

Of course. I understood clearly that you want, naturally, to sell
it :-)

I was talking about a (possibly crippled or time limited) demo of your
component
to determine whether I can use your component within my programs or it
is not as flexible as I need.

I do not think you really expect people just buy it blindly  :-)

-P

If it's complicated software the company may have to provide support for it 
and therefore the company must consider the possible support cost . Not 
worth supporting the software for a few customers, the company could raise 
the price but then customers may not want it. The company could end-up 
losing money with even a small amount of support. One bug could take a lot 
of time to fix. Either you have a lot of customers at a cheaper price or a 
few customers at a higher price.
