Hello,
I have several questions about RAP limitations:
1. What I can use instead of it?
2. When it will be implemented?
These questions apply to the following limitations:
1. StyledText widget.
2. ITextViewer, ISourceViewer, IDocument and other things which using
for text editors.
3. IPropertySource, IPropertySheet, IPropertyDescriptor.
