Welcome to TextDynamic® - a powerful library to edit and create formatted text.

 

TextDynamic is a royalty free word processing and reporting control which can be embedded into applications to create text in code, to offer the end user WYSIWYG editing features and to convert document formats, such as RTF to HTML or RTF to PDF.

 

TextDynamic is a visual control. It can be used in WinForms application developed with .NET 1.1 or .NET 2.0 Windows development tools (Delphi 2006, VS2003, VS2005). Using the also provided OCX TextDynamic can be embedded into VB6 applications and used with MS Access® or Visual FoxPro® as editing, reporting or printing component.
