I have been searching for a while now for a decent Rich text or HTML editor control to use with 10.2.
For now I am stuck with using the MS RichText control from Windows, as this is straight forward. But it is very limited.
I would like to use the TXTextControl, which has been recommended and seems to have everything we want, different output formats, built-in toolbars etc. But PSC does not support their licensing - so I cannot run anything that uses this control (this has already been logged with Tech Support and does not seem to be resolved for 10.2A01 ... so I have to keep looking).
So I am trying to use a different control, SpiceLogic .NET Win HTML Editor Control. This seems nice and might do the trick, I can store my editor content in HTML, which can be usedul in many ways.
A quick test in using this gives the following error when trying to save an ABL form with the control:
Visual Designer
Code generation for property 'Charset' failed. Error was: 'Property accessor 'Charset' on object 'winHTMLEditorControl1' threw the following exception:'Specified cast is not valid.''
OK
followed by
Visual Designer
Code generation for property 'ReadOnly' failed. Error was: 'Property accessor 'ReadOnly' on object 'winHTMLEditorControl1' threw the following exception:'Specified cast is not valid.''
OK
When I try and run the form - nothing happens.
Any idea what is happening?
Even better, any suggestions on a good control that works with OEA? Nothing in the Infragistics controls that gives decent rich text / html editing.
This sounds like a VD serializer bug, and you should report it to tech support.
If you get a code generation error, this means nothing gets written out to the form so any changes since the last serialize/save won't be present in the code.
Thanks - will do.
Anyone with suggestions for an editor that works with 10.2? As I mentioned in my post, I am using the MS RichTextBox. This has some basic features that we were looking for, but is turning out to be too limited. Ideas for others to try are very welcome
