I was searching a way to solve this problem for some time and this is an ideal solution for it!! Thanks!!

Looks great!

Any chance of Search and Print capability?

That's a good idea.

Search functionality will be included in the next release. The print-functionality I have to investigate first.

Thanx for the response.

Quite nice

Is there a possibility to use the WaldoNavPad completely by keyboard, especially to push the buttons by pressing Alt+O or Alt+C?

Didn't have time yet to build in the other wanted functionality, but when I do, I will include this thing as well ... . You're right. I'm a keyboard-fan as well (ALT-shortcuts is a hobby of mine). Shame on me I didn't include this simple thing... .

I'm sure that our client will gripe about the font size though. Is there any chance of making it larger? Thanks, Joe.

Waldo Navision Notepad (WaldoNavPad) v2
With WaldoNavPad you edit big amouts of texts in some kind of textpad, and store it in navision-tables (in pieces) to be able to show the content in a subform. The fieldlenght of a piece of text is adjustable. The pieces of text will be cut of at a "Space" or "Carriage Return".

New functionality:
- Button text is adjustable (with text constants it's easy to make it language dependant).
- Print / Print Preview functionality
- Save text as rtf-file (easy to open in MS Word)
- Search functionality
- Bigger font so text is better "readable".

The download contains:
- navision-objects which shows how to use the WaldoNavPad-DLL.
- a setup for installing the VB.NET-DLL file.
- the sourcecode of the VB.NET Class Library and Test UI

This is very nice, thank you. A couple of the procedures have moved numbers, so if you have created applets with this, so saving them as uncomplied before loading this or reloading them as text could save a little time.

This is a really useful tool. One additional tool that I will have our new developer make when he comes on line will be to keep the tags in a separate table as position, tag, so that the files will be useful plain text as well as rich text.

This should preserve the usefullness of existing reports, sales orders, etc. where this information pops out and will make it easy to export to plain text files for other applications.

If someone else gets there first, let me know, otherwise I'll have the code snippit posted in case anyone else wants it.

Nice job with this, I look forward to any future releases you may make!

So, if I understand correctly, you want to do some text-design like underline, coloring, and other stuff, and save this in Navision as well.

hm ... have to think about that.

May be store it in a seperate table in a BLOB? This way, we would store it twice, but we can preserve all text-design ... .

Sorry, I was actually thinking of a different editor with formatting capabilities. It stores the html strings in the text that it passes back. This isn't Waldo, apparently I liked yours better.

Formatting is ok, but really not that important for most folks that I come in contact with. If they really want formatted documents, they can use word.

Nice product and thanks for changing the font size. Joe.

Waldo, thank you! It is nice component.

But I have little bug.
After opened editor window select "Edit"-"Find" and in Find window press "Cancel" ("Find what" is empty). Error window show up.

P.S. Excuse me for my bad English.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

It will be fixed in the next release.

This is really a nice tool.

Customers like to work with a text editor instead of navision forms, especially when they're have to add a lot of text.

Sometimes it makes sense though only to show the text, read only. I know it can be done by just leaving the Save-part out, but it's not visibly disabled. Perhaps you're going to change the control anyway, sometime, and add such functionality.

Best regards

it has been added to my to do list...
