Am searching for a CKEditor like component, preferably for delphi 7.

Any good free ones out there I could try out?

+1  A: 

I am not aware of any WYSIWYG free/open-source libraries for Delphi 7. There are some commercial libraries that I have used with great success. TRichView and WPtools are two which are RichText editors which have export to HTML/CSS options.

You can also look at TEmbeddedWB which exposes many more properties than the standard TWebBrowser. Just navigate (or load html), set TEmbeddedWB.DesignMode := true and edit away.

`TEmbeddedWB.DesignMode` is read only. `TEmbeddedWB.GetDocument.designMode := 'On';` is the way to enable it.

@Marcus, no it works properly with TEmbeddedWB... its just not surfaced as a published property.
skamradt
@skamradt, sorry about that, maybe I have an old version. Well, now they'll have both ways just in case.

WYSIWYG HTML Editor Component for Delphi

A: 

CKEditor is not part of TWebBrowser in design mode. It is much more: A complex JavaScript application that enables you to edit HTML in WYSIWYG mode. I am currently building some components (DB and standalone) for Delphi using this amazing editor and delphichromiumembedded.
