The 10th beta release of the formatted text project is now available for download. With this release, you may now purchase licenses to use this code in your projects. Please read the README file before purchasing.
This release marks an important milestone for the FTC. With this release you can implement custom display objects. Custom display objects allow you create any type of editor or display object you wish within the FTC. So you are not limited to just text and pictures anymore! URL: http://www.truenorthsoftware.com/Realbasic/FormattedText.html What's new in this release... Custom objects have been implemented. What this means is you can create your own display object within the FTC. You could use custom objects to implement tables, charts, specialized input fields, etc. The only limit is your imagination. In the demo application I created a simple line graph of random data that also tracks the mouse position within the object and displays the coordinates. The custom graph object also handles setting the cursor. These things are done just to demonstrate some of the possibilities. Internally, custom objects are subclassed from the FTPicture class so you inherit all the abilities of the FTPicture class. When saving to RTF it will insert a picture of current display of the object or you can insert your own RTF code. The custom object class provides the following events for you to work with. GotFocus Idle KeyDown LostFocus MouseDown MouseDrag MouseEnter MouseExit MouseMove MouseUp MouseWheel OpenXML Paint Resize Resized SaveRTF SaveXML Most of these event are logically the same as the events you would see in a canvas control. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
