New Rich TextEdit Control for PowerBuilder 10.5
One new long-anticipated feature of PowerBuilder 10.5 was originally planned for the PowerBuilder 10.0 release: the new Rich Text Edit (RTE) control. The original RTE control (see Figure 1) was introduced into PowerBuilder before Microsoft implemented a Rich Edit Control within the Windows Common Controls. Since there wasn't a 'standard' rich edit control in the operating system, many developers were using third-party controls to implement such functionality. In addition, at that point, cross-platform availability was a requirement, since PowerBuilder was available for development on Mac and UNIX platforms. One of the most popular third-party controls was called HighEdit, and the original PowerBuilder RTE control was an OEM version of that control.
