Visual Basic .Net Word Processor in 8 minutes

1. offizieller Beitrag

    I am really most impressed with TextDynamic. Not sure how to tell my wife we are in for an extra expense soon.

    I have created a Visual Studio 2005 project in Visual Basic which builds a fully functioned word processor with menus and toolbar. Just a refinement of the example in the documentation. Took me about 8 minutes without trying too hard and just copying and pasting mostly.

    See details at http://www.accessgp.com/html/news.html , download at http://www.accessgp.com/html/downloads.html (198k zip) and screen shot at http://www.accessgp.com/html/vbnmscreens_39.html complete with graphic in header and image of XRAY. I can save it all in my database with ease though I am not so sure that saving images would be wise with database size limitations in SQLExpress.

    Now if this control had TWAIN support as well it would be my dream component. It could form the basis for a fantastic document management program with scanned images saved as PDFs. Could I put that on a wish list perhaps? More than happy anyway. Off to explore some more features now.

    Regards,

    Geoff

    Many Thanks for posting example and comments.

    We do not plan to integrate twain support at the moment.
    I believe that would only make sense if there is a decent graphic conversion support available as well. That would bloat the component too much - there are also good graphic libraries out there which can be used with TextDynamic - note that it is not difficult to add a custom button to the toolbar to trigger the scanning process.
