The 11th 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.
Beta 11 is another major milestone for the FTC because it adds a continuous display mode with a couple different flavors. This makes the FTC broader in its appeal since you can use it in different ways. The only thing missing is a real-time soft wrapping mode. If soft wrapping shows up in a future version of the FTC, then the FTC could function as a COMPLETE replacement for the EditField. So go check out the different display modes under the "Format->Display Mode" menu. Here is the schedule for upcoming betas. Beta 12: - Printing support. Beta 13: - Contextual menu support. - Drag and drop support. - Super and sub script support. - Tab support. - Bug fixes. - Optimizations. Beta 14: - Undo facilities. With the completion of beta 14, the functionality of FTC version 1.0 will be complete. Then the documentation will be completed after that. So now is the time to send me any feature requests that you may have if you plan on using the FTC. URL: http://www.truenorthsoftware.com/Realbasic/FormattedText.html What's new in this release... - A continuous display mode has been implemented. This mode of displaying the text is like Microsoft Word's normal view. When in the normal view, there are two ways of displaying the content. The first is just like the page view mode except that it does not display page breaks or display backgrounds. It retains the fixed margins for the content which were present in the page view mode. The second mode is like the first except it sets the margins to the width of the display and moves the margins as the display is resized. - Added the native FTC clipboard format. In the previous beta cutting and pasting within an FTC control defaulted to RTF data which caused the custom objects to be converted to pictures. With the native FTC format, no data is lost during cut and paste. - Minor bug fixes. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
