OK, this is a shameless plug to get you interested in the Formatted Text Project (FTP). The second alpha release of the project is now available for download. With the first alpha release I equaled the functionality of the previous attempt at the FTP. Now from this point on, it gets interesting since new functionality is being added!
With this new alpha, I think you will be more impressed at the capabilities and speed of the FTP (and this is still unoptimized code). Again, drop me an email so that I can gauge the interest level and set an appropriate price point when I release it. URL: http://www.truenorthsoftware.com/Realbasic/FormattedText.html What's new in this release... - Added mouse cursor handling. - Completed code to automatically flow partial paragraphs across page boundaries. - Added insertion caret handling. You can now point and click on the text and the insertion caret will move to the new position. (You can't type and insert characters yet. Next release.) - Added menu items to the test application to allow you to populate the control with various sizes and types of data so that you can see the performance with a large data set etc. - Temporarily added page numbers and the length of the text being handled at the bottom of each page. The code compiles for OS 9 and Linux, but currently I have no set up for testing these builds. If you would like to beta test these builds for me, then contact me directly and I will set you up. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
