I am using D2007, latest release of DevEx VCL components and MS SQL which retrieves nText columns "Description" & “Notes” from a commercial application. It contains text similar to that below. I appears to be HTML. I would like to display this formatted in a VCL Vertical Grid “Memo” item. Is there a way to get this text translated so it will display and / or edit properly?
Thank you,
Robert Baker

Hi Robert,
I apologize, right now, we don't provide an editor that can process HTML tags. So, there is no easy way to force the ExpressQuantumGrid to display data in the way you wish. If you'd be able to convert HTML tags to a RichText, then you'd be able to use our RichText editor.
Thanks,
Serge
I was able to meet my immediate need using tRichView's tDBRichViewEdit component.
As an FYI [perhaps a feature suggestion for DevEx], tRichView has an HTML importer component [tRvHtmlImporter]
and a couple of methods on their tDBRichViewEdit component that facilitates overrides the loading and saving of the
HTML <--> RTF content.
Just a thought, as I know that this is not the only application that stores HTML that needs to be edited.
Thanks for your help. -rb-

procedure TfrmMain.DBRichViewEdit2LoadCustomFormat(Sender: TCustomRichView;
Stream: TStream; var DoDefault: Boolean);
var s: String;
begin
try
SetLength(s, Stream.Size);
Stream.ReadBuffer(PChar(s)^, Length(s));
RvHtmlImporter2.LoadHtml(s);
DoDefault := False;
except
end;
end;
procedure TfrmMain.DBRichViewEdit2SaveCustomFormat(Sender: TCustomRichView;
Stream: TStream; var DoDefault: Boolean);
begin
Sender.SaveHTMLToStream(Stream, ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName),
'title', 'img', []);
DoDefault := False;
end;
