[Gambas-user] Replacement for TextEdit or a RichText conversion

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Ah, I found it

Editor is deprecated, it is TextEditor now and comes with 
gb.form.editor. Certainly worth looking at.

Just hope I do not have to change too much of my code to keep the 
functionality for my special case.

Regards
Rolf
