[DUG] graphics in memo box

[Kyley Harris]

Ok,

You may be able to override the paint method of a tmemo, and after a call to
inherited do the drawing.

It will probably be easier to Overlay the TMemo with a TPaintbox and draw
onto that.. TMemo is not good enough if you are talking about MS Word, or
Rich edit style highlighting, and Object drawing. in that case you have a
lot of work ahead of you.

regards.
