WPtools Demo's - differences in paragraph display

1. offizieller Beitrag

    I am testing WPtools with a view to using, and have the following problem:

    I load an rtf document into the Wpmultidemo - no problem - similar to original. I load the same document into Mini demo and the paragraph spacing is wrong.
    The original doc was created in Word and saved as an rtf. I noted the para spacing in doc was in pt whereas in rtf it was in cm. What am I missing ?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    spacing in RTF is always stored as twips values. The representation in the GUI can be adjusted.

    The multi demo is a bit newer than the mini demo - that was compiled with V5.15 - probably the reason for the wrong display.

    The last weeks the RTF reader + renderer has been optimized to show word spacing, tables, alignment a lot better. We are working with an insurance company who have a really stuffed form which needs exact spacing and small fonts. So several improvements have been introduced.

    Thanks for the reply, but still not sure how to fix my problem ..

    In the Multidemo, F1 works ok while F7 doesn't.

    The TWPrichtext component I recently downloaded (ver 5.15.5d) also doesnt work - which is why I have spent the last 2 days trying to fix it.

    Where to from here ?

    To quote:

    "The demo F7 does not use the mentioned flag which F1 does. "

    - Not sure what the above 'mentioned flag' is - please clarify.

    "It is just a matter of configuration"

    - OK .. . . so if it just about configuration, please tell me how to do it.

    Thanks,
    Andre

    Thanks.

    Like your other client, I will also need accurate rendition of standard rtf behaviour, like the spacing before and after paragraphs. Currently, v3.15 displays this incorrectly.

    I have 2 questions:

    1. You have said the new reg version is V5.17.4 - is this version available as a demo for evaluation ?

    2. You suggested changing the flag wpDisableAutosize tables - I presume this a v5.17 feature (I couldn't see it in 5.15). Will this property setting affect the rendering of Tables as well as paragraphs ?

    Hi,

    >>1. You have said the new reg version is V5.17.4 - is this version available as a demo for evaluation ? <<

    No, while the EXE multi demo is compiled with a fresh release every time, the demo VCL is not updated so often.

    >>2. You suggested changing the flag wpDisableAutosize tables - I presume this a v5.17 feature (I couldn't see it in 5.15). Will this property setting affect the rendering of Tables as well as paragraphs ? <<

    I don't recall when wpDisableAutosizeTables was introduced. It affects tables only, not paragraphs.
