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.
The component was built using the reliable and widely used Delphi Component WPTools® 5 which is based on entirely new code, developed in 2004 and subsequently refined. It also contains many procedures and architecture especially developed for this DLL, for example the modern toolbar interface.
The user interface of TextDynamic can be localized: A special resource file used by the DLL not only contains the texts for the actions and dialogs in several languages, but also the images for buttons.
Info: The component wRTF2PDF is based on our word processing component TextDynamic plus the PDF engine wPDFControl. It does everything what wPDFControl and much of what TextDynamic does. It has been optimized to work on a server, or webserver. It does not print but it can produce PDF and other file formats fast and effectively. Please see our demo web server www.rtf-net.com.
TextDynamic .NET and TextDynamic OCX (ActiveX® control) give you the following:
A universal editor for most development systems:
As an OCX it can be used in many popular development systems. The .NET edition has been recently developed, allows seamless integration and is very stable. While other companies charge for their ActiveX® and .NET edition of the same control you get here both in one package.
Maximum performance when working with documents:
The kernel was created using a powerful, fast and effective development language. The code is highly optimized and widely tested. Using the possibility to create MDI applications without the need to have multiple forms you can create applications which require much less resources (see SimulateMDI demo).
Optionally integrated SpellCheck
You do not have to worry about external spell checking components, the required engine has been built right into TextDynamic. When you license the spellcheck you will also receive a dictionary compiler to build your own dictionaries.
Optionally integrated PDF creation
The PDF engine which has been integrated into TextDynamic is one of the most widely used (wPDF). It supports font embedding, PDF/A and security features. Embedded metafile images will be converted to vectors and text, not just bitmaps - to create small PDF files which can be printed at high resolution.
Create e-mails easily
TextDynamic contains a powerful interface called "MAPI" which collects the required data for an e-mail (Plain, HTML + attached images) and can also send it using the Mail API. Alternatively you can use the integrated MIME writer to create e-mail data (*.MSG) without the need to create any temporary files.
Mail Merge and optional integrated reporting
The TextDynamic reporting engine works with report templates which are just text and will create documents which can be still edited normally. TextDynamic knows to use the DAO interface and can so be used easily in MS Access. For best flexibility and as alternative to DAO there are powerful events to control the reporting process. If you do not need "bands" in your template, you can use the powerful mail merge feature. Since the fields are are not deleted when the data is inserted, a mail merge form can be used to display the fields in a database while the user browses through it.
Integrated Label creation (preview + print)
You can specify all aspects of a mailing label sheet (size, margins, column count) and TextDynamic will display a perfect preview of the output. In this mode it is still possible to edit the text, for example if the used wants to delete some labels which should not be printed. The labels can be created using mail merge.
Maximum flexibility for configuring the user interface:
The toolbar is configured using a XML script. That script, together with the images for the buttons, is loaded from a special package file - we also include an application to edit that file. This file also contains the XML information to translate the texts in the dialogs.
TextDynamic also supports customizable shaded backgrounds for the toolbars: 
DLL "heaven" (and avoid "DLL hell" i.e. installation of program B breaks program A)
With some other component products it is possible that your program suddenly shows a demo nag screen or does not work at all, just because the user installed a different version of the component. To avoid these version conflicts the OCX wrapper loads the DLL from a fully qualified path - and so avoids a version conflict when a different application uses the same OCX.
Customization of the DLL for certain projects:
We are able to add certain commands (ids) if you need special procedures inside the DLL. Please ask for a free quote.
