Hi Jacek,
We've actually had quite a similar problem, that we solved initially by
embedding RichText COM widget, but that turned out to be somewhat messy
distribution wise (you will need to redistribute the VB custom control,
and handle all the registration and cleanup of the weidget in
install/uninstall of the product).
Also we did not have good enough control over the embedded COM widget
(e.g. widget borders, scrollbars and their position and other aspects
that were out of our reach when using OLE).
We ended up writing thin JNI layer to calling platform's native RichEdit
MFC widget directly from java.
This allowed us to gain fairly solid control over the RichEdit widget
(or rather aspects of te widget that we cared about) and removed the
nightmare of managing the redistribution of the VB OLE control library.
