Isn't there a way to set tabs with the number of chars size instead of pixel
size ?
How do I change all the text without the user seeing the selection ?
I tried RichEdit1.HideSelection:=True; before RichEdit1.SelectAll; but this
doesn't work ?  : /

Greetings,
0BIT

1) You can calculate the width of given text on a given canvas with
Canvas.TextExtent. But not every character has the same width in
proportional fonts so it will look kind a strange.
2) HideSelection has only meaning if the control doesn't have focus. What do
you want to accomplish? The contents of the RichEdit can be modified though
the Lines property.

The documentation, IIRC, is wrong with respect to many of the measurement
settings in rich edits. In fact the values are expressed in units of 1 / 72
inch (1 pt).
