Hi,

I'm new to the TX Text Control.

How can I use the control functions and properties as described by the vendor?

(https://www.textcontrol.com/documentation/?param=o_txtextcontrol.htm&product=ocx)

 

 

Specifically, I want to add a hyperlink and need access to the object function 

https://www.textcontrol.com/documentation/?param=n_wpf_hyperlinks.step1.htm&product=tx

 

Thanks 

Steen

Hi Chris,

 

I'm not sure of which setting to use. I guess I want to use the TE control as you mention.

The below screenshot (pb2019 beta 2) is the default for a new application. and I do not see any TE control.

So I'm a bit confused now. What is your recommendation?

Thanks :-)

// Steen

'TE' is the middle one. The first one is the TX control that came with 12.x versions of PB.



The last one is for a purchased version of TX. The current version of TX is 16 so it is a bit out of date.

Hi Roland;

  Yes, but only if you purchase the TX Control OCX directly from the vendor. However, PB2017R3 only supports v14 of the TX control currently (even in PB2019 beta#2- just checked).

Is it possible to communicate with the chosen OCX directly?

Hi Steen;

  FYI: The TX OCX object for support of the RTE Control & RT DWO is the old Sybase PB 11.x / 12.x control. This is now provided in PB2017R3 MR01 to allow easier migration to Appeon PB so that existing RTE App migration would be easier using the App's current PowerScript. This also satisfies the App requirement where a special TX feature has already been used and is not available in the TE control.

   However, the default RTE & RT DW support is through the new (default) TE OCX object that was first included in PB2017 GA. The TE control is slightly different in a few areas (well documented in the PB Help) and has advantages over the TX control.

  Going forward, Appeon plans to integrate the 64bit TE control into 64bit PB Apps. We cannot do this with the TX control as its only available to us in 32bit version (currently).

  To answer your HyperLink question .. the RTE & RT DWO follow standard "Rich Text" mark-up. So Googling around should give you the answer (hopefully) that you are seeking.
