Hi,

in the solutionmodel i see a JSField property called useRTF.

What does this do ?  
It is not the displaytype(textarea,rtfarea,htmlarea), that is jsField.displayType

Regards,

Hans

Hi Hans,  
from what I understand you can have a JSField of displayType = SM\_DISPLAYTYPE.TEXT\_FIELD  
and still set its useRTF property to true, this way you get a text field of one line display that you can style.

Thanks Patrick,

Will try that.  
This property can not be set designtime.

Do you now if there are samples / is documentation on using the solution model ?

B.t.w. : a BIG compliment for your tutorials on plugins and beans. In the past I have also been writing training materials and I appreciate the amount of work it involves.

Regards,

Hans

Hi,

It seems to me that useRTF does not work.

I tried other settings like height, foreground, etc. they al work.

Is this a known issue ??

Hans

Didn’t try it actually.  
If it doesn’t work you might need to file a case to the support system.

useRtf is not a supported functionality for JSField, it doesn’t work. Will remove it .
