StyledText and RAP [message #733904]

Hi RAP Team,

I know that StyledText topic is asked every time. But I would like know the state of StyledText in RAP. It exists bug 277346 but I don't know the state of this bug today.

My idea is to try to implement StyledText to manage HTML (basicly)for our Resume Application (RCP/RAP) but if RAP have no intention to support StyledText, I will give up my idea.

I will try to test the demo. You say that there is a lot of limitation (read-only, what is mean?). Is it possible to have lits of limitation of the RAP StyledText sandbox.

Thank a lot.

Regards Angelo

Angelo,

the current StyledText implementation is read-only in that it does not
allow user interaction. It can display text in the same way as the SWT
widget, but editing on the client isn't implemented (think of it as an
SWT StyledText with setEditable( false )).

One of the challenges that comes with editing is to find a way to sync
client and server in an efficient way. The StyledText is meant to
process large texts, hence submitting the entire text on every change
isn't suitable. Maybe sending deltas forth and back is a way to solve this.

Extending StyledText isn't on our plan for 1.5. That doesn't mean that
we will not welcome others to go forward with this. As of now we can
only spare very few resources to support you. Maybe Ralf (who will be
back on Monday) can comment more on that topic.

Regards,
Rüdiger

Hi Angelo,
the StyledText prototype improvements are not in our plan for 1.5 release cycle. The current prototype in sandbox is readonly - this means it's not possible to type (by keyboard) the text in it. Most of the listeners from the original SWT StyledText are not implemented too. To evaluate the current version from sandbox use the provided demo bundle (located in the sandbox too). A contributions in the field of StyledText are welcomed.
Best,
Ivan

Hi,
I'm trying to use StyledText inside RAP. I've downloaded the source code of the StyledText porting from CVS. It looks like org.eclipse.swt.custom.LineStyleListener is missing.

I'm working on an eclipse plugin for PDE which we want to make available on the web too: that's why we are using RAP. We are trying to use the single sourcing approach.

I'd like to show colored syntax PHP and Java code and I thought StyledText was the right choice. Are there some StyledText alternatives to accomplish this task? What are the main chanllanges you see in adding LineStyleListener inside RAP?

Thanks a lot.

You could render the syntax highlighted code as HTML and put it in a Browser widget if you don't require editing capabilities.

Hi Chris,
thank you for your answer. I thought there was another way in RAP to accomplish this task. I'll try this way.

if you do not rely on the StyledText API this could be for you:
