Happy New Year, everybody! In the last blog entry, we showed how to replace the file menu with an MS Word-style backstage menu. This project shows how to load documents from a partial view in the backstage menu. The partial backstage view Open.cshtml uses a very simple model to describe a document: In the partial view, a list item is created...

It has been a while since I have been written about the Windows Forms version of TX Text Control. And that is not because we give the Windows Forms version less priority - it is just my current dedication towards reporting, ASP.NET and web development. The client versions including Windows Forms and WPF have a very high priority for us. Sure,...

[OPEN] Format error: The specified format is invalid - when creating a table inside another

January 8, 2016, 1:00 pm

I'm inserting a table programatically as follows (condensed):

Table tbl = CreateTable(3, 3, 9, txt);
tbl.Columns.GetItem(1).Width = 3500;
tbl.Columns.GetItem(2).Width = 2750;
tbl.Columns.GetItem(3).Width = 3500;

It normally works well. However, if the user was inside a table when this code is exceuted, and the outside table is not as wide as the inside table, an exception occurs (with code 01-241D) when the document is saved.

How can I prevent this? Is there a way for me to determine the width of the cell (if there is one) at the insertion point?

I'm using TxTextControl for WinForms, version 22.


Here is the stack trace...

[OPEN] Help with Spelling related exception

I frequently see the following exception in our error log. I can't reproduce it and need some ideas on how to debug it. The only thing I've noticed that looks suspicious is that most of the exceptions occur on a Citrix host. I wonder if there is some contention for the dictionary files. Does anybody have any suggestions?

[OPEN] TXControl and VB6 Rich Text Box comptibility

For several reasons I have to be able to copy the contents of a TXTextControl into a VB6 RTB. The TX has text and image (inserted as BMP)

I tried copy/Paste directly and via clipboard, and saving to temp file and loading it, in all cases the image is not transferred.

However if I first load the saved file file created by the TX control into Word then save it as rtf, this file will will load into the RTB and the image is not lost.

I notice that the Word version is much bigger, does the TX save the image in the same way? do you have any suggestions as to how I can do this?

[OPEN] Problems with Right-To-Left text in ApplicationFields

February 11, 2016, 2:21 am

When I set the Text property of an ApplicationField to a mixed RTL/LTR text, the order gets mixed-up.

Code:
Private Sub TestRTLToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TestRTLToolStripMenuItem.Click
    Dim f1 = New ApplicationField(ApplicationFieldFormat.MSWord, "DOCVARIABLE", String.Empty, {})
    f1.ID = 1
    f1.ShowActivated = True
    _textControl.ApplicationFields.Add(f1)

    Dim s1 = "123-٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩-456-جڞڀۍ-x789"
    f1.Text = s1
End Sub
The text is set correctly, i.e. the Text property shows the text just fine in Visual Studio, and you can copy it to the clipboard or assign it to a variable.

However, the field shows the text in a mixed-up order, see screenshot:


If you select the field and copy the text to the clipboard and paste it to e.g. notepad++ the order is as you would expect it.

Bonus: Try deleting the "x" in the string in any Unicode-aware application (like VS, notepad++ etc.). Can anyone explain that behavior to me? Is it possible without mixing up the order?

[OPEN] Fixed Position Images are not Considered Page Content

February 15, 2016, 1:51 pm

Greetings,

We have a solution where we are adding Images to be used as placeholders in a document. We offer the user the ability to insert the image with various insertion modes but are having an issue in particular with (ImageInsertionMode.AboveTheText | ImageInsertionMode.FixedOnPage).

This is the same as formatting an image added to the document as Fixed Position on Page I believe.

What we are experiencing is that these images are not considered page content.

Consider the following:
1. I have a document with 2 pages of text.
2. I delete all of the text content from page 2, TXTextControl removes the 2nd page and only shows me 1 as being currently available.

1. I have a document with 2 pages of text.
2. I add an image that is anchored or moving with text that is on page 2.
3. I delete the text content on page 2. The image remains on page 2 but anchored to text on page 1.

1. I have a document with 2 pages of text.
2. I add an image that is fixed position on page 2. Not anchored.
3. I delete the text content on page 2. TXTextControl does not believe there is any content on page 2 and shrinks the page count to 1 and only shows me page 1.

The image still exists in the document on page 2, if I add content back to page 2 the image shows up again.

Is there a reason why if I added a fixed position image on page 2 with no text content that TXTextControl does not believe there is a page 2?

I can code around this and remove images from our solution when the user saves the document, if there is only 1 page and there are images on page 2 remove them, but we believe that if there is an image on page 2 that the document is actually at least 2 pages.

Thank you
