TextInputCanvas for GTK3 and 64-bit

As you may know there is an open source project called TextInputCanvas. It provides some better text input events to Xojo apps using custom text control like the Formatted Text Control.

Recently Xojo 2017r2 was released which uses GTK in version 3.0 on Linux. Previous versions used GTK 2.

You can load a copy on my plugin download page.

This plugin is build with my plugin build system, so it has MBS in the name and includes libraries for Mac, Windows and Linux including ARM, so you can use it in all projects. If you find a bug related to the GTK3 or 64-bit port, please tell me.

A speciality of MBS Plugins with GTK is, that we built plugins to link dynamically to GTK and use either GTK 2 or GTK 3 depending on the Xojo version. This should help to have just one set of plugins to work with Xojo 2013 up to 2017r2.

Congratulations, Christian !

This is great. I had forgotten with FTC I needed a 64 bit version of TextInputCanvas.

For the rest of my program, all I had to do was so set build to 64 bit, and your plugins 18 did the rest. It was really a turnkey situation :slight_smile:
