Yes and no. It does work, but on Mac OS X it sure does lack some
of the available options that other Carbon apps have. The
EditField is primitive and doesn't support some of the niceties
that other apps offer such as inline spellchecking (which is huge).
I'd agree.
Not sure what RB's underlying OS control is but it almost seems like
it's the ancient text edit tuff and not the mlte stuff
I am not of the attitude that cross-platform is synonymous with
"behaves identically".
I think you've misunderstood or misread my posts. I never said it
had to be identical.
Word on Windows is not Word on OSX.
But as editing tools they function mostly similarly despite the
underlying platform differences.
The editfield is not this way despite people's attempts to use it in
this fashion.
I'd like something that behaved mostly similarly and was more capable
than an editfield as a word processor ... like the FTC project.
And it would be nice if REAL provided that additional capability as
part of the Pro package.
