• The TextCt module was adapted to be compatible with DynaFace 2.3. Existing programs using TextCt ≥ 2.11 are 100% compatible with TextCt 2.3 if recompiled with the new FaceProcXY and FaceStorXY include files.
TextCt 2.1 -> 2.11
ΓÇó 256 can now be added to the VarCode to disable TextCt's management of a window's title (see "Complex Documents" in the "Miscellaneous" topic).
TextIt 2.0 -> TextCt 2.1
The operation of TextCt controls is very similar to that of the old TextIt windows. If upgrading from TextIt, note the following changes that may affect existing programs:
ΓÇó The old TextIt commands NewEd and EndEd are not needed since TextCt supports controls in ViewIt windows that are opened and closed using ViewIt commands.
ΓÇó When executing TextCt commands, the first parameter passed to the Dyna dispatching procedure is the control handle of the corresponding TextCt control (vs. the shared record address used with TextIt). GetCtl is typically used to obtain such control handles in cControl.
ΓÇó Most of the old "t" variables in a "tRec" are replaced by corresponding "tc" variables in a "tcRec".
ΓÇó tcRecs are always dynamically allocated. You cannot use global program records as tcRecs. The "tcRec Record" topic describes how to find and access the tcRec associated with each TextCt control.
ΓÇó Most of the bit flags stored in the old tMode variable were moved to the control's VarCode.
ΓÇó The high bit in tcFlags is now used as the "dirty" bit. See "Dirty Editors" in "Miscellaneous" topic for more info.
