HTML Edit 1.9

Add-Ons
1

Hi, i am trying to put this control into my application.
On the Mac OSX, i was able to pass over some html text into the window that have the html edit control. once changes has been made, it was save back to original calling window,

But on the Window, the text from the calling window was assigned into the html edit control on the but did not show anything. and when closing the pop up window, the html text is passed back but never shown.

On open event of the pop up form

      HTMLEditInstance.Init
      System.DEBUGLOG "shwEnlargedText.Text = " + shwEnlargedText.Text
      HTMLEditInstance.html = shwEnlargedText.Text
      System.DEBUGLOG "HTMLEditInstance.html = " + HTMLEditInstance.html

and the following code show up in the close event of the pop up form

      System.DEBUGLOG "HTMLEditInstance.html = " + HTMLEditInstance.html
      shwEnlargedText.Text = HTMLEditInstance.html
      System.DEBUGLOG "shwEnlargedText.Text = " + shwEnlargedText.Text

i even try changing the .html to .text for the windows version and still nothing is shown

HTML Edit was broken on Windows since Xojo 2017r1.

In the meantime GraffitiSuite acquired HTML Edit from Tim Parnell.

Xojo updated the Chromium Embedded Framework in 2017r1. The newer version no longer allows for window.status to be changed by JavaScript which the first version of HTML Edit relied on. The second version of HTML Edit was almost entirely reimplemented before GraffitiSuite acquired it. The second version has many improvements because of this reimplementation, and I believe Anthony even gave it better undo/redo handling.

Unfortunately, this means that HTML Edit 1 will only work from RealStudio 2012 to Xojo 2016r4.1
If you use anything newer than Xojo 2016r4.1 you must use the newer version of HTML Edit that lives in GraffitiSuite now.
