Hir Brian I am developing a program with texts with places where you can enter text. And I do not think there is any easy solution. I made a program that scans a document and when it encounters some Flag it outputs the text start some action and continues scaning. if the flag is a inputFlag then it will not output the string but instead generate an tedit control... It is not easy, you have to know how to create components at runtime but it is possible -- I did it. I used my own decendent of tedit that will grow as the text gets bigger and Panels so that the text right of the editbox will scroll. this is needed for lines containing more that one input. I therefor know that is is possible, but there is no easy way as far as I know. Please let me know if you get any bright idears of an easy way to solve this proble.
