I find the distinction between your FTC and WordGuise rather misleading. In addition, as far as I can possibly judge from the demo you have put up, there isn't much a developer can do with FTC, contrary to EditField or WordGuise. And WordGuise provides formatted text, is an RTF control, you can set page width, line indents and paragraph indents, and you can add pictures.
With all due respect, this comes across as sour grapes. All I am pointing out is that the FTC and the EditField type controls are fundamentally two different animals which serve different purposes. Saying there isn't much you can do with the FTC contrary to EditField or WordGuise is an outright absurdity. I believe there are several advantages FTC has over WordGuise in that I provide source code, it is 100% REALbasic code, and has capabilities that WordGuise does not provide. My control also provides the ability to implement custom objects which far exceeds WordGuise. In fact I was discussing yesterday with a customer how he could go about implementing a table like in Microsoft Word. On top of that, I provide source code since implementing such complicated controls within your application requires specialization. If word processor capabilities is what you need like Apple's Pages word processor, then the FTC is the way to go. _______________________________________________ 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>
