Hallo everyone,

we are migrating our application to RAP 2.1 and missing StyledText. We mark our text with "setStyleRanges". Is there an alternative?

Thanks in advance,
Daria

Hi Daria,
the old read-only prototype of StyledText (located in old CVS sandbox
folder) does not work with RAP 2.0+. It was just a proof of concept and
it's not maintained anymore. There is no alternative for RAP 2.0+.
Best,
Ivan

Hi Daria,

if you don't rely on the StyledText API, you may consider using another
rich-text editor, such as [1]. You should be able to highlight regions
using markup there as well. If you just need a read-only display, you
can use the new markup support [2].

A StyledText implementation for RAP will require considerable effort,
but it's doable.

Regards,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for your reply. We need a read-only display and I think we try it with markup support.

Thanks
Daria

I tried to port some existing RCP Eclipse plugins like Subclipse and SQL Explorer and I've always stumbled with the lack of support StyledText in RAP (most recent versions) which is really a pity and it made all my efforts (and I guess others too) useless. In both plugins showing/editing text is a core feature and I guess there are a lot of plugins falling in the same requirement. Of course, there are workarounds, but one would expect to spend "reasonable" efforts on porting RCP plugins and put the focus on adding value rather than re-inventing the wheel. Sad
