PB219 R3 Build 2670

Project properties set to "Built-in TX Text Control ActiveX 28.0"

32-Bit Application

Believe it or not, I've never had to use a rich text control in PowerBuilder over all these years as a developer. But now someone want to design a pretty signature for the emails we're sending and I thought the new rich text editor looked like it could come in handy.

So I set the project properties as above, created a new window and dropped on the RichTextEdit control. Now I have lots of questions.

It seems fairly basic, the menu seems to only allows font changes, alignment, and bullet points. No colours, no insert x or y type of things etc. If I look at the TX Text Control website, it looks like it can do all kinds of clever and amazing things, wow, it's like Microsoft Word.

So I look at the PowerBuilder help, maybe I have to build all the controls myself, but there will be a rich and complex set of functions, properties and events for me me to do that. Nope, doesn't seem like it? Again pretty basic. I mean if I want to see the HMTL representation I have to first save it to a file???

So am I missing something? Is this the way it is or have I somehow got hold of the wrong thing?

Any clues gratefully received!

Oh, and if you were going to design an HMTL email signature editor in a PowerBuilder application, would would you do it?

Thanks!
