ANN: WPTools 6.12 - with all new border dialog

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    WPTools 6.12 is available for registered customers.

    It introduces an all new border dialog. The new dialog was build to work intuitively and it is very powerful. The user can style multiple tables, rows and columns with different border and shading selection, without leaving the dialog. It is possible to apply different color and style properties to each side of a table cell or table. Of course paragraphs can have borders, too. Unlike in many competing products here it is possible to select a range of cells and set the outer borders and remove all inner borders.

    Other of the many improvements in V6.12 are:

    + new method: procedure SetBorderProperties(Inner, Outer: TWPTextStyle;
    ApplyMode : TWPParagraphBordApply;
    Mode : TWPUpdateBorderProperties =
    [wpSetBorderFlags, wpSetBorderType, wpSetBorderWidth, wpSetBorderColor, wpSetParColor, wpSetParShading]);
    This method is mainly used by the new border dialog.
    + new flags in ViewOptionsEx:
    wpShowCurrentCellAsSelected, // Displays current cell to be selected. Disables current selection
    wpShowCurrentRowAsSelected, // Displays current table row to be selected. Disables current selection
    wpShowCurrentTableAsSelected // Displays current table to be selected. Disables current selection
    + new property YOffsetNormal to defined an upper border for normal and wordwrap view.
    * feature Header.MarginMirror changed to work like MS Word
    new flag: wpMarginMirrorBookPrint in FormatOptionsEx2 to enable the previous logic
    * workaround for MouseWheel UP beeing triggered too often (10 mms check)
    + ClipboardOption wpcoDontPasteHTML to disable HTML pasting completely (avoid problems with firefox)
    + it is now possible to load base64 embedded JPEGs from HTML
    * it is now possible to change width of tables which exceed right margin
    - fix bug in HTML writer for lists in table cells
    - fix in RTF writer to write character colors also for text which is using a character style
    - fix: numbering was not always updated
    - fix: better use fonts in certain RTF files written by MS Word
    + Update to WPLanguageControl to make Localization easier to use. Only< this code is not required:

    procedure TForm1.WPLanguageControl1Loaded(Sender: TObject);
    begin
    WPLangInterface := TWPLocalizationInterface.Create(WPLanguageControl1);
    WPLocalizeAllStrings;
    end;
