Hello,
Above all, let me say that I'm working on OpenEdge Architect Visual Designer, with "Progress for Gui. Net.".
Is it possible to manipulate an Infragistics component that is able to manage ". Rtf" files?
Let me explain. I created a Word Processor with an Infragistics toolbar component and Microsoft's RichTextBox. When the user saves his entry into the Word Processor, the contents of the text and its layout are automatically transferred to another RichTextBox component into the parent form.Everything worked fine until my client required transparency on the second RichTextBox (the one that is read-only and displayed on the parent form).
So I tried to create my own RTB component transparent capable , through Architect, derived from the microsoft's RTB class , and transparency worked, but the text was also transparent, which is problematic ...
Then I tried to create DLLs using visual studio 2010, but these DLLs made Architect crash.
My question is: is there a way to manipulate RTF files with any Infragistics component that would support transparency? If this component contained the LoadFile(). method, which loads an RTF file into the component, it would be very nice.
Thank you for your help, pending a response from you.
By mine experience there is not in Infragistics-WinForm components.
In my apps, when needed an RTF editor in WinForm, I used a separate commercial component outside the Infragistics great components.
But it is not well-projected and manipulation with code-behind is and hard work ... but it work fine like a mini-Word.I hope this help you.
Regards.Davide.
Thank you for your answer Davide,
Did you use this commercial RTF component the same way the RichTextBox can be used?
I only need a component that could manage RTF files and support transparency.
Actually, the same as Microsoft's with only transparency. Not more.
Can you tell me about the component you used please?
If infragistics did not make the one I'm looking for, then it's not illegal just to tell me about it?
I'm strucked and my customer want to display rtf with transparency.
thanx
Mike.
you welcome,
I did some onTheFly-testing with this two rows of code:
RtfTxtBox.ViewMode = TXTextControl.ViewMode.SimpleControl; RtfTxtBox.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
and it seems can receive a Transparent Background (and it work, a saw the background of the container and the text remain the same)
The control is TxtTextControl .IMO the controls produced by Infragistics there are more more better than it, but in over ten years of develop it's the only control in the market that I've found to integrate an RTF Text Editor with some rich features.is a bit 'to use with the springs but it works. I've about ten tailor-made sw that use this control.I've never used MSRichTextBox a lot ... the user interaction and the code-behind usability are too poor for my standards.Regards,Davide.PS: if U need some trick or information about this control, please contact me privatly (skype or mail @ spinwave.it)... we used enought Infrangistics's Forums to talk about others ;)
REMARK: I wrote C# code directly ... without any designer and I'dont know if it works in Visual Designer... use the trial version to try it.
