Hi,

Changing formatting of selected text in edited cell can be done in

absolutely the same way as if this selection is in the root editor.

The best way to do it is using ApplyStyleConversion method +

OnStyleConversion event.

A demo for this:

http://www.trichview.com/support/files/redit.zip

is an alternative version of demo showing how to implement commands like

"make bold", "apply font", etc.

This project is similar to one that can be found in

Demos\Delphi\Assorted\RichEdit\ directory of RichView installation, with the

following changes:

1) It is simplified.

It uses the same technique for all UI commands, and a list of commands can

be extended easily (one or two lines of code per new command)

2) It supports commands for paragraphs (such as "change first indent")

This project requires additional components that can be found in

Demos\Delphi\Assorted\RichEdit\Components\

Note 1:

Such commands can be implemented without writing any code, if you'll use

RichViewActions.

Note 2:

Since you add a new styles, it will be a good idea to store a set of styles

together with documents.

Right-click editor in Delphi, choose "Settings" in the context menu, select

"Allow adding styles dynamically".
