[DUG] graphics in memo box

[Vikas...]

well Harris i came up with oen work around which i think can fix it

i used the code somethign like this

var
 H :thandle
 C :tcanvas
begin
 c:= tcanvas.create;
 h:=getdc(memo1.handle);
 c.handle := h.
 c.brush.colur:clred;
 c.ellippse or c.rect
end;


i think this somehow gave me xcat idea to enhance my requirement i was just
doing reseach on it figured out this will be better way to expand my
requirement

thanks for your help anyways

i do apreciate it very much

Regards
Vikas
