Yesterday, I converted the application I’m building for a client from using TRichView to WPTools, after succesfully using both next to eachother in one window.
Although WPTools is only $45 (225 vs. 180) more expensive, it offers not only more components to make your programmers life easier, but it has better RTF-compatibility as well. TRichView (as confirmed by the author when I asked him about it) has problems with very thin table-lines (if you set the border to 1 or so). And it can’t handle headers and footers well, as I blogged about before.
In a couple of hours playing with the WPTools-components, I had more functionality in my application than ever before with TRichView. And when I asked the author a question in the middle of the night (actually, it was about 01:00), the answer was already in my mailbox this morning (at about 06:55). And I thought I had little sleep!
If one is interested, I can draft an article that shows the differences in more detail then described here. So drop me a line/comment if you would like to see such an article.
