Resolved Richtexteditcontrol not rendering properly after build/deploy

I have a richtextedit control that I'm using to create a RTF report on the fly via sql.

Everything working fine running it in the development studio.  See good image.

Then after a build and test deploy it is not rending the same.  I assume I'm missing a DLL somewhere but tried them all and it still looks like this(see bad image).

We are running Powerbuilder Cloud edition 2019 build 2082.  Deploy is on a windows 10 laptop.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Lou

I rebuilt and deployed everything as a 32 bit app and it worked.

 

It would be nice for the 64 to work also but its a work around for now.

 

Thanks everyone for all your help.

Hi Louis;

  FYI:  For RTF Controls and RTE DWO's running from the IDE, the TE or TX control setting is being used. When compiling and running a 64bit PB App EXE, the PB run-time uses the MicroSoft Control! The MS control behaviour is different than either the TE or TX control from the 32bit PB App EXE (unfortunately).

HTH

Regards ... Chris

I'm pretty sure the Microsoft RTE Control is what PowerBuilder used in PB10 and earlier before the TX Text Control was integrated.

It was the "HighEdit" 3rd party control. However, the MS Text control was used in the WebForm & WinForm App targets I believe.

I think you can't. (Correct me anyone if I'm wrong.) As far as I know, there's no option to choose the 32 bit version when having a 64 bit executable.

The only thing to get the same functionality is by using a 32 bit executable.

I'm working on my "own" version of a Rich(er)Text control, based on the work of other people, which I will somehow publish this weekend on GitLab.

I've made that one with C# .net and I guess that there should be a way to make a 64 bit version of it, or making it version independent.

Your problem gives me right away an interesting case to test with!

I don't think its a path issue as I just tested it on a new laptop that never had powerbuilder anywhere on it.  Plus I used the appeon pb 64bit runtime installer.  Got the same issue.

-------------------------------------------------------------

so when you say:

Is your executable 64 bit?  Yes it is.

Then the difference in RichText would make sense. When creating a 64 bit executable, the richtext used is one which forms part of Windows. When running from the IDE, the RT used is the one you specify in the powerbuilder application object.

-----------------------------------------------------

How do I fix this?

Could it be possible that when you run your executable, you are finding an older runtime somewhere in the PATH?

I think something like that happened to me once.

Set the Path to your application's folder as the first folder in your PATH and see if that makes a difference

If your executable is not 64 bit then you should not copy the files from ...\x64 (correct me if I'm wrong)

I saw that.  I don't know.  I tried to based on the help documentation.

 

Can someone please send me the exact list of what I need to distribute for richtext.  I think I need to start from scratch.

 

Thanks,

Lou

Comparing the toolbars of the first and second image it looks like the used/found Richtext control is different!

For example the color icon does not show when you run from the IDE.

Do you distribute the required runtime dll's and folders for richtext?
