Actually there's a DHTML editing control which lets you do most of this,
but it's not trivial to program if you want to manipulae the text
programmatically.

The other problem as with so many new MS tools is that it's unstable
as hell <s>...

>I spent most of the weekend trying to find an AcltiveX control or some other

control to display both Text and Bitmaps in the same display control much like the MS Rich Text control. I looked at other threads here and haven't found much. I tried about 8 different controls and none of them worked very well in VFP. I also then installed my old Delphi 3 and then created an ActiveX control using their control and it hosted very well in VFP. But it doesn't support inline Bitmaps.

Another problem with the MS control is that using Add() Method to add a new Bitmap causes the default Editor to launch! What a pain.
