New versions of rich text editing components (TRichView 13.4, RichViewActions 3.4, ScaleRichView 4.3) are now available. Brief info TRichView is a set of Delphi components for editing formatted documents with tables, images and hypertext links. RichViewActions is a set of actions and components for building a text processor UI, a free addon to TRichView. RichViewActions include ready-to-use dialogs for all main text processing operations. RichViewActions are translated to many languages. ScaleRichView is a TRichView addon for WYSIWYG editing. SRVControls is a set of components for insertion in a ScaleRichView editor. Many standard Delphi controls can be inserted as well, but SRVControls provide a smooth scaling and printing together with a document. What's new Delphi XE2 is supported, the both 64-bit and 32-bit compilers. In this version, the components can be used only in VCL projects. FireMonkey will be supported in future versions. A support of Delphi XE2 includes a support of visual themes: scrollbars and borders of editors are drawn according to the chosen style. Additional RichViewActions components (such as rulers and special radio buttons) and custom drawing routines in RichViewActions dialogs support styles as well. Special measures were taken to provide a good appearance in inverted (light text on dark background) color modes. Other improvements include a rotation in table cells. It allows implementing a vertical text similar to Microsoft Word(r) (rotation by 90 or 270 degrees), but it's different: it rotates not only a text but everything in the cell, including nested tables. In addition to vertical rotations, a rotation by 180 degrees is available. RichViewActions include new commands for tables: the cell rotation actions, the action converting a table to a text (using the specified delimiter), and the action for sorting table rows. Two new localizations are added to RichViewActions: Bulgarian and Finnish. There is an improvement in text files processing: RichViewActions asks for the file encoding (code page) when loading or saving a text file. ScaleRichView supports two features that were previously available only in TRichView. The first of them is animation (mainly Gif animation), and the second feature is "smart popups" (special buttons that can be displayed next to the edited object or text in the editor). And finally, a keyboard navigation was improved (smarter page up/down in ScaleRichView; better caret positioning when moving between table cells using up/down keys).
