Hi everybody!
I am planning to create a kind of text editor that you can insert
objects in the middle of the text, much like you insert WordArt or
vector graphics inside a MS Word document. You can drag them, align
with the text and etc. When you double click those objects, you enter
another editor specific for that kind of object, like cliparts on ms
word.
I don't want a complete tutorial about how to create this kind of
thing, only some idea about how to start or how this thing works.
I was planning to create some controls based on
System.Windows.Form.Control to be those objects, but i don't know if
this is the right way. An object to be the "paper" behind the text,
then other objects to be inserted in this container... But i think
that like the name says, those kind of objects are to be used in
windows forms like user controls, not objects inside a custom editor.
So, where should i start?
Anyone can help me with the concept behind this kind of thing? Any
book or site to look for? I thought about looking the OpenOffice
source, but maybe there is a better place to look.
Any idea or help would be great!
Thank you.
