In reality probably both.
And it [the EditIField] does have issues when you try to provide a
consistent cross platform experience.
But isn't that mostly because people are pushing the EditField
beyond its design?
That may be the case and in fact I'm sure it is.
But, for a new buyer they have no clue that is the case.
They see "cross platform" but it and then run into the "Oh you cant
do that" issues.
That's all I'm suggesting.
I believe the EditField's original purpose is for simple bits of
text, text fields in dialogs, etc., not full-fledged
WYSIWYG word processing. For routine use, the EditField as it is
works fine, doesn't it?
Very simple things sure
I'd love to see REAL Software offer an additional WP control --
perhaps
the Formatted Text Project -- for high-end, cross-platform
sophisticated
text processing apps. Even if that control was only in the pro
version,
that'd be okay. I just want it. (Yes, my main RB app is a word
processor.)
Agreed.
That seems to be what lots of people are expecting with the editfield.
Not an "oh you can put characters in and out and not a heck of a lot
more" field :)
Including the FTC would be a great addition
I intend to buy it just for one project
