Servoy 6.0.6 / HTML\_AREA

in the Webclient I can cut Text inside a HTML\_AREA and past it inside the same HTML\_AREA  
in the Smartclient the same operation leads to a new line

in the Webclient I can use CTRL-Z for “undo”  
in the Smartclient it is not possible

in the Webclient I can use indents + tabs  
in the Smartclient is not possible

I just wondering, if nobody else needs this features for the Smartclient ?  
Maybe there is an other way to edit HTML\_AREA with Smartclient ?

thank you for any suggestions

Have you tried the browsersuite?  
If not, check out [servoyforge.net](http://servoyforge.net)

thank you.

I’m afraid of this installer processes for many different configurations of my clients… ![:cry:]( "Crying or Very sad")  
[https://www.servoyforge.net/projects/br … lerProcess](https://www.servoyforge.net/projects/browsersuite/wiki/InstallerProcess)

That means the on board editor never will be fixed for smartclient ?

The installer process of the Browser suite is for installing in Developers. And even so, what you’ve looked at is the detail of what the installer does for you. The only thing you need to do is launch the BrowserSuiteInstall.jar, follow the on-screen instructions and you’re good to go…  
For clients this is totally transparent, the jars for their platform will be downloaded automatically, just like the Servoy jars and third party beans and plugins.

thank you Patrick, it encouraged me to try it,

also my statement was not specific enough:

with “clients” I meant not the users, but **my** clients: If I replace the  
existing foxpro solution with servoy, I have to install 35 Servoy Servers on “my”  
clients server (each company with its own different server ) .

best wishes

I’m just wondering…

Hello out there:  
How do you give your clients the possibility to format Text and print it with jasper ?

Lets say, a Form like a Memo/Note with a fix header, but a variable content-length and  
fixed footer, possibilities bold, fontsize, indents, tabs, cut and paste, undo/redo  
for web- and smart-client

Everybody uses the browsersuite ?
