The 7th alpha release of the formatted text project is now available for download. A lot of effort was put into optimizing the code for typing responsiveness. Note, currently under Rosetta the speed is crap. Please wait until the UB version of RB comes out to test its speed for Intel Macs.
This code is now approaching the beta phase of development. When I release the first beta, I will open it up to be purchased for your projects. My current thinking on pricing for this software will be $300 for encrypted modules and $600 for non-encrypted modules. With the encrypted modules you won't be able to see what is going on in the base code, but you will have the full ability to subclass all the important classes and add your own functionality. With the non-encrypted modules, you can override certain methods and pull up the contents of those methods and make the changes you see fit. If you are doing a high profile project, I suggest you get the non-encrypted version. Email me off list if you are interested in getting a hold of the first beta when it comes out. URL: http://www.truenorthsoftware.com/Realbasic/FormattedText.html What's new in this release... - Implemented some optimizations. Typing should be more responsive. - You can now display margin guides for the page. - Implemented changing the font, font size, and style (plain, bold, italic, and underline) of selected text. - Implemented document margins. You can now set the margins for the document as a whole. Setting individual paragraph margins will come in a future alpha. - When the control loses focus, it turns off the blinking caret. - When typing, the current line will automatically scroll into view when your typing goes off screen. Note, there are a couple of known minor cosmetic bugs in certain selection situations. _______________________________________________ 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>
