Support for tables

created 18 years ago

I am working on creating letter templates that end users can modify using a Rich Text Editor and then mail merge with their customer database. One of the requirements is that the users be able to insert a logo and change fonts, etc. so using a Rich Text Editor seemed the obvious choice to give the user full flexibility in the letter layout. The situation I have run into is that the new xrRichText control doesn't seem to render some things properly (such as tables) whereas the xrRichTextBox does. I do realize that xrRichTextBox uses RICHED20.DLL just like the Windows RichTextBox which is what I'm using for the Editor. Otherwise, I think the xrRichText control is a great addition to xtraReports since it solves a host of other issues and would like to be able to it in this situation in the future. I have attached a zip file containing a sample screenshot depicting the rendering difference as well as the RTF document used to create the report.
Proposed Solution:
Broader support of the RTF specification.

Tables can be inserted into documents using the dialog box or via code. Nested tables are also supported.
