Sharing this with our Xojo community —we wrote this control for our main application (the control within the green square). Hopefully, some of you will find it useful. We struggled to find a modern, flexible rich text control plugin that works well with both small and large amounts of data.
- Set every font styling property in the IDE, in code or change it with immediate effect during runtime.
- Customize every visual element to your needs.
- Supports two types of toolbars: traditional and popup (visible when text is selected).
- Most properties can be defined in the IDE. The font styling you set also affects clipboard behavior when users paste content into the editor, so you don’t need to process incoming data.
- Supports mentions: In the demo, the user has defined # $ % & { [ as mention triggers.
- Supports key bindings: In the demo, you can use CTRL+1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to quickly switch font styles.
- Exports content as text, HTML, XML, JSON, etc.
- Lightning fast—whether handling a paragraph of plain text or hundreds of pages of styled text.
- Use the Opening event to set properties and define behavior before the class is initialized. Use the EditorReady event to make additional changes after initialization but before the document is loaded.
- Single class—no external files.
- No third-party plugins required.
- Compatible with both Mac and Windows.
Please note, we never wrote this for a commercial release, but it served it’s purpose for us and we continue to update it, so if this comes in handy for other fellow developers, then we’re happy :).
We welcome feedback,bugs and feature ideas…
