richedit - anybody trying to do it ?

[Krzysztof Foltman]

Hi,

Just out of curiosity: is anyone already actively developing a 
(supposedly) fully featured richedit control ? The current version looks 
like a plain editor combined with RTF reader...

It's exactly that, but AFAIK, nobody is working on it ATM.
Feel free to take on the task.

Not currently. Yes the current implementation is really just a wrapper
around the edit control. Please jump in.

Thanks
Steven

If you do, could you try and take BiDi into some sort of a thing vaguely 
resembling an account? If it's not too much work, that is.

BiDi is rarely a trivial amount of work. Even Microsoft are consistently 
unable to get this right, and usually when they try to improve it they just 
make it worse.

On the other hand it is important and the time spent doing it properly well 
worth it to the community, and a great learning experience for the person 
implementing it.

Yes. I was 90% joking. I explained in a private mail to Krzysztof that 
merely building it with BiDi in mind, so that adding bidi in later won't 
be a horrible horrible task, would still make me ecstatic.

Tell me about it :-)
