Hi,

Has anybody studied or tried to implement the Java 'Document' model
yet? Every text Swing component (JTextArea, JTextEdit, JTextPane etc)
uses the Document class internally to represent the text content. Is
seems very easy to use and extend like they did for the Styled
Document (HTML, RTF etc...). It also supports document/text filters
for things like Tab Stops, Elastic Tabstops, Spell Checking, Syntax
Highlighting etc..  Quite a powerfull component which can be used for
simple one line text components like TEdit and scale to complex text
components like text editors or HTML, RTF viewers/editors.

I'm researching the posibility of implementing the Document, Elements,
Position, AttributeSet etc interfaces in Object Pascal for use with
the text components (TextEdit, Memo, ComboBox etc) in fpGUI. The above
classes will be toolkit indepenent, but builds a very flexible base to
use in any text based components.

I thought I would first ask here if anybody has done something like
this already? I don't want to duplicate work if it's already done by
somebody else and freely available.

Regards,
 - Graeme -
