text editing window

[LVCoder]

Hi all,

how can i implement text editing window in labview?

i want to create a window just like this forum's text windows which allows you to select some text and implement certain features(cut,copy paste, text color, font size, font name, alignment) on the selected text.

Thanks,

Ritesh

Why do you want to invent what has already been invented?  Creating a text editor in Labview will be a major project.  If this is what you really want, start it off and ask for help when you run into problems.  Show the code you have developed so far.

Why not just use Notepad or Word or Wordpad?

You can use ActiveX within LabVIEW to edit the Word or WordPad documents.

If you must roll your own in your application, take a look at the RichTextBox on the .NET & ActiveX palette on the front panel.  You will have to dig up descriptions of the properties and methods of the component in the .NET help.  You may be able to take advantage of the Web Browser component as well (same palette).
