The documentation is a mess, dont trust it
It means it is not designed for that platform (windows) They added this exception on 2023r2 since StyledTextPrinter is not supported on Windows https://tracker.xojo.com/xojoinc/xojo/-/issues/72474
The thext area really SUCKS and xojo has no intention to fix it. I wrote a post on how to properly display RTF in windows:
And to print it, if you are up to work with some declares:
Grazie Ivan,
you did a nice work with the Windows API.
At the end Xojo has so many bugs that I will follow the advise
I will format HTML data from my own directly from the in the internal datas of my app and use an HTML template build with a HTML design app.
People can download a project I used to make the test here https://www.centromedia.com/download/StyledText2Print.7z
An other example that could be of inspiration is this one that I have modified so that it works on the Windows platform https://www.centromedia.com/download/StyledTextPrinterReplacement.7z
For me it’s not a problem to buy a plugin and probably
is a very good solution. But at this time I don’t want any external dependencies and risk any outdated versions problems.
It’s really a shame that after 14 years comming from Realbasic the road is becomming worser and worser. Instead of adding Android they should invest more in fix bugs and develope this horrible IDE, particularly on Windows.
An other favourite sport i noticed is to declare bugs as a feature and close threads as resolved.
Sounds way too obvious for most users, but as long as the ceo thinks renaming, rebranding and shiping half baked new things is the way, no wonder why the comunity is shrinking more and more.
