Or at least it was. The control is just dropped on the form from the gallery, and wrapper methods have been added to the form to "decode" the execcommand() calls that the dHTMLedit "understands".

Another quirk (or worse) is an occasional reformatting of HTML escape characters, so a less than sign is "+ANWd-" etc. Makes a real mess, so the program can't be used on machines that have had IE 5.5 installed on them.

I'm trying to use the control and I'm running into the same "erratic" focus behavior. Did you ever find a solution?
