Hi,

Try the following:

Implement OnItemAction event handler, react on ItemAction ==

rviaTextModifying.

When you detect that text being modified is a template "placeholder", call:

PostMessage(Form1->Handle, WM_SOME_MESSAGE, ...).

Here WM_SOME_MESSAGE is custom windows message you should create.

In the handler for WM_SOME_MESSAGE make manipulations with current item, for

example call SetCurrentItemText(...).

I found that using PostMessage in this case is necessary because

OnItemAction does not expect that you will modify text items - documentation

says that you should not change item text there.
