WPTools Version 5 has an entirely new RTF Engine. This makes it much easier to work with the paragraph text and offers an object-oriented approach whenever such an approach is benefitial.
Please note that because of these changes, the replacement of WPTools 4 in a project with WPTools 5 will take some time. Some event handlers had to be changed and some properties, too. This was necessary to a) support the new datastructures b) to support multi view. We are working on a new 'WPReporter' which loads the old files but internally will work differently.
The new data model supports a separation between data and editing logic. This makes it possible to attach multiple editors to one text object in order to view different parts of the same text. This feature can be used to create a split view of the same text or, even more interesting, to link different editors to specific pages. This feature can also be used to edit text paths in DTP applications.
The result is a suite of components with a combination of features you will not find available in any other single component package.
For application designers WPTools Version 5 supports
For word processing WPTools Version 5 includes
New concepts found in WPTools Version 5 include:
We hope that you are as satisfied with WPTools Version 5 as we are and that the improvement in your product is worth the effort which may be required for the upgrade to this new version. WPTools 5 was built to be the most powerful word processor available on the component market. In addition, it also works as a HTML editor, offering convenient word processing features, while still working as closely to the HTML document model as possible.
