Hi There, I am a Delphi programmer, and due to user pressure I'm forced(!) to port my Windows application to the Mac platform.
I have looked at various alternatives, including CodeWarrior, Python and Java, but Rev seems the most logical as it produces stand-alone executables "out of the box". However, I have downloaded the demo and am a bit unnerved at the apparent simplicity of the language(!), so I thought I'd post my question here to see if the application that I want to design is possible to complete in Rev. I hope you can help. THE APPLICATION =============== In essence, I want to create a word processor kind of a program that can handle specific paragraph attributes such as Keep Together, Keep With Previous etc. along with: 1. Page Break control (where the page break can be shown visibly on the page and deleted if necessary) 2. Paragraphs can have different "styles" - including different margin indentations per style. Bold, Italic etc. 3. Print Preview - although, if a WYSIWYG editor is possible to code in Rev, this is not really required. 4. Print. 5. Save as TXT, RTF, HTML and PDF. 6. Find & Replace. 7. Multiple UNDO / REDO. I also need a list box which contains a navigation control that can jump to specific bookmarks within the document. The list box items really need to have "Owner Draw" properties so that I can display custom icons next to the list names, and if possible create a tree-noded list. OK, sorry for the huge message, but I want to make sure that this is at all possible before investing both time, effort and money into Rev, and if anyone has attempted to write an editor in Rev previously, I'd really like to know how you got on. Thanks for your help. All the best, Mark. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
