Email export + localization

Hello,

My task is to give the user an editor so as to edit a mail then my software will export the report in Html format in the backgroud and send it by email.

This raised a couple of questions:

- Can I translate the Embeded Designer completely? I used frxResources.LoadFromFile but this translated only the menus and the buttons, but in Object inspector at left there are still English texts as:BackPicture, Color,Orientation etc.

- Can the user enter links in MemoViews e.g. http://www.fast-report.com and in the exported html file it would be clickable? I tried and I couldn't click on it.

- Can the user enter the location of the pictures from the web as links as: "http://www.fast-report.com/bitrix/templates/en/images/logo.gif";
If not is there a workaround?

- Can I hide different objects in the Embeded Designer before showing it to user like Data page, Functions etc.?
There are users with very limited Windows experience -> they would be frightened by so many options.

Thank you very much for your help

    I am doing similar project.
    I found that ....Its better to export html (in same folder)
    Load the html into tempmemo
    then use the tempmemo lines.txt as your html.body (for outlook)

    The html on the sender side gets loaded into email body and seems perfect
    Only problem i have now is , by time email recipient gets email, all cells (blank or not) are bordered. a little odd but it works 99% what i wanted.

    Thank you for the answer. But my real problem is to give the end user the ability to edit their email texts in Rave Report Embeded Designer (insert links and pictures from the web) so as to hide different objects in the Designer like Data page, Functions.

    I can't expect the end user to type in Html codes in a memo box. He wants an editor in which he can format the text -> therefore I thought of Rave Report Embeded Designer.

    Thank you

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
