That seems like a pretty huge omission.  (Given that you have it for ASP, which is certainly a bigger challenge.)

Does the editor have a way that I can control the basic formatting options from a toolbar that I write?  like bold/italic/underine/ font etc?

Hi Mike, 

I did not understand the way to show the designer dialog at run time, and I really need it. Could you show me a sample of code just to make it appear on my form?

I'm using Openedge Architect with infragistics components, so most of the examples I see are in C# or VB and I then "traduce" them in OpenEdge.

Thanx for your support.

Hi,

It's not a control, so there's no way to show this on a form as far as I know. You might be able to contain the dialog inside another dialog, but in my experience, this causes all sorts of problems in DotNet and I would not recommend it.

The code to show the dialog is very simple. You just need a reference to the SupportDialogs assembly and then you create an instance of the dialog, set it's Value (optionally) and show it:

            FormattedTextUIEditorForm formattedTextUIEditorForm = new FormattedTextUIEditorForm(this.ultraFormattedTextEditor1);
            formattedTextUIEditorForm.Value = this.ultraFormattedTextEditor1.Value;
            DialogResult result = formattedTextUIEditorForm.ShowDialog(this);
            if (result == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                this.ultraFormattedTextEditor1.Value = formattedTextUIEditorForm.Value;
            }

Thank you for your quick answer, but I think i'm to develop my own word processor for OpenEdge Gui.NET though I can't use the Infragistics.SupportDialogs Assembly in OE Architect.

And every component made for .NET applications that I try to use are made for VS or are not compatible with OE architecture.

Is there any way to use an Infragistics component that would manage light features of a word processor like 

.Font

.Bold & Italic

.simple Formatting etc...

Thanx for your answers....

No, I think you would have to implement the UI for this yourself using a toolbar or something like that.

Ok, so that is my last question on this topic :

How do I retrieve the XML formatted output from the UltraFormattedTextEditor so as to push it into an UltraFormattedLinkLabel and have the same formatted text in both controls?

I only find an HTML output from my text editor.

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. The XML is in the Value property of the control.

UltraFormattedTextEditor has no support for HTML - although the XML format we use is very similar to HTML in many respects.
