New WYSIWYG Editor

Tonight I worked on a new WYSIWYG editor for Grurrah. It was a pretty simple task since I am using the gaia RichEdit control and the MultiView. I wish I had known about MultiView before, since I've basically done a manual version of the multi view all over the place in Grurrah. I'll clean that up sometime soon, removing a bunch of manual setting of controls visibility and using MultiView.



The hardest part of making the editor was finding icons. I'd like to add list support to the editor, but tango doesn't have list icons. I will also be adding image support soon, I just need to think through the details of image upload first.

I also want to add support for linking to other Grurrahs, but I'll need an icon for that. I'm planning on using the gaia:AutoComplete control for the link to other Grurrahs window, filling it in with the most popular Grurrahs, and maybe eventually I'll fill it with related Grurrahs.

sted in knowing that the upcoming TabControl (instead of MultiView) will TOTALLY rock and probably might do a far better job at the WYSIWYG/EDIT/VIEW/HTML switching than the MultiView :)
It inheritd from the MultiView in fact too
