This is a most impressive component. Having written my own text editors in the past, I appreciate the effort and thoughtfulness that has gone into it, but there are two issues I would need clarified before I buy.
One: the cursor keys, backspace, enter, tab, delete etc. seem to have repeat action disabled, and I can't find any way to change that. Can this really be true? Thus, if I hold down, say, the X key, it will duly repeat XXXXXXXX, but if I want to move the cursor left, right, up or down, I have to repeatedly depress it for each movement. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere as an issue, which puzzles me. I don't have this problem with any other program or component. What am I missing here?
Two: TextDynamic is terrific if you just want to use the bundled toolbars, but for me it is an absolute requirement that I supply my own user interface. The ability to do so is one of the reasons I was attracted to this product. But - I am so frustrated with the technical documentation in this respect, I could weep. Trying to find out how to do something simple like create a new style (I'm working in VB.NET, but could equally use C#) is so exhausting, I would give up and buy Tx Text Control if it were not for the overall superior functionality of TextDynamic. The lack of an index and, most of all, examples, negates the otherwise indisputable value of the product. The time I have spent trawling through the maze of interfaces etc. in an attempt to solve some quite basic issues has completely negated any cost saving I would have enjoyed from an otherwise reasonably priced component. If it wasn't for the fact there isn't anything else to beat this that I'm aware of, I would have given up by now.
I don't expect you to be able to rectify this any time soon, but it does IMO need to be addressed at your earliest convenience. In the meantime, I assume that the C# source code supplied with the license contains all the code associated with, say, toolbar actions, style sheet creation etc.? That will be good enough for me, but I just want to make sure before I commit to it.
Regards.
