WPTools strictly separates the text data structures from the output logic. This makes it possible to show the same text using an editor and a preview component. Even more impressive is the possibility to edit the same text using different editors!

Text paths

The multiview technology can be used not only to implement a split-screen feature but also as a solution to edit a text path. This means that different editors are set up to manage individual sections of the document. When the cursor exits one box, it automatically moves to the next or previous box. Text that scrolls out of the first editor seamlessly scrolls into the next box. Since all editors work with the same text, there is no risk of losing information when text scrolls in or out. No text is actually copied; only the view window is changed.

Shared styles

Several Editor may uses the same RTFProps object, that is the owner of the style catalogue.

Advantages:

• If two editors use a different RTFProps object and a style is changed in the first, the text which uses the same style will be also updated in the second editor. This is ideal if you need to create one big text out of several pieces.
• Since font and color tables are shared the same font or color uses the same index value in all editors which use the same RTFProps object
• This feature can help to reduce the amount of memory required for each text.
