I'd suggest using a RichTextBox. Make sure you include a spell checker.

Thanks gggustafson for ur response.
RichTextBox is a very good idea. I am also thinking about it. When i was going through some samples, i noticed that rtf works with some kind of script like "@"{\rtf1 " or @"\intbl \cell \row" etc.
Any idea what are these? any paths? or scripts?

Where did you get that information?

From format alone, I believe those are filenames or paths in verbatim strings.

It's called Rich Text Format. Hence the name of the control, RichTextBox.

The problem is not how to add an editor (how could it be a problem?); the problem is where you get such editor. And you did not even give us any requirements on the editor, only showed a picture which doesn't mean anything. If you know some editor, give a link.

Please see my comment to the question. You need to find such editor or create one from scratch by yourself.

See, in particular, this one, it is for System.Windows.Forms: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dlxmleditor[^].

You can try to find something else: http://bfy.tw/I0S[^].
