wordpad/write.exe?

not sure if Michael wants to open the editor in app or outside.. By Popup
Editor I am assuming that it will open in app as a Dialog box, So WordPad or
write.exe may not work.. Did u try Google it?.., maybe these guys have it...

Funny, I had to do the exact same thing and was not able to find something
like what you are asking for.

I did find one or two companies that sold text editing controls but they
were too expensive for what we needed. I our case we were looking for
something that will be a close equivalent to WordPad.

Anyway, we ended up needing to create our own custom control to do that but
you can find something that would cover the *very* basics here:

Be aware that the sample code of the link above has some bugs and it does
not behave like Word or WordPad, for example if you have a text selected
that has some bold words on it and you click the italic button then
everything will turn italic and you will loose the bold.

Check it out, if you are doing something simple for internal use it may be a
good starting point, if you are doing this for commercial purposes you have
some work to do, it looks like a simple task but it took me a while to make
the damn thing function like a mini WordPad app.

Good luck.
