WPTools® VCL is a suite of native Delphi/C++Builder components to create and edit formatted text.
Supports Delphi 5, 6, 7, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, XE, XE2 C++Builder 5, 6, 2006 - Win32.
WPTools 6 "PRO" and "PREMIUM" also supports 32 and 64 bit and also C++Builder 2009, 2010, XE and XE2 .
WPTools is much more than a replacement for the Delphi richedit component: the central part is a complete WYSIWYG word processing component which is surprisingly small. In contrast to similar components WPTools supports editable header and footer in its perfect page layout modes, zooming, splitscreen, tables, also with the possibility of page breaks inside table rows and a powerful CSS like paragraph style concept.
It supports a variety of different character and paragraph attributes, stylesheets, numbering and bullets.
Plus, it supports bookmarks, embedded images (with text wrap around) and table of contents.
If you need to do mass mailing or to provide your customers with a customizable database view you will enjoy working with the powerful "mail merge" facility. WPTools works with special field objects (start and end markes) which makes it possible to dynamically update the text or to read out selected parts of the document, so it is also possible to use it with forms for data entry.

Internally the WPTools VCL is based on XML like data structures and is completely object oriented.
The main engine, reader and writer - altogether more than 80% of the source - was rewritten completely after Version 4 to make use of the latest compiler features.
The engine of WPTools was optimized for word processing. Unlike some competing products it supports page breaks in table rows. The text loading routines are very fast. The concept also allows it to create reader and writer units for custom formats.
Please check out the online version of the manual to get a quick overview over the API.
WPTools includes an interface to add spell checking components. This interface is used by some 3rd party componentsand also by our own spellcheck addon WPSpell.
Also available: ReportBuilder(tm) Interface (=Report engine by Digital Metaphors).
This makes it possible to preview and print WPTools texts which were integrated in your ReportBuilder reports.
Optionally available is support for FastReport and QuickReport 4.
Note: If you use our product wPDF to export your reports to PDF, the WPTools generated output will be exported as text and vector graphics, not as bitmaps.
