Creating an Editor Window

You can create an editor window using one of these methods:

Dropping from Visual Studio toolbar:

First insert the tern32.dll in the toolbar:

Right click on the 'Windows Form' category in the toolbox.

Select 'Customize Toolbox...".

Select the '.Net Framework Components'.

Click on the Browse button and select tern32.dll from the directory where you copied this dll.

Now you would see 'Tern' icon in the toolbar.

You can simply select this icon and drop it into your form.

You also need to set the License Key.

Namespace: The control methods are placed in the 'SubSystems.TE' namespace. The control constants are available in the 'tc' class. Example:

toc.TerSetFlags5(true,tc.TFLAG5_SET_FORM_TITLE);

By using the 'new' statement:

Here is an example:

 using SubSystems.TE;    // name space containg TE methods - C# syntax
 Imports SubSystems.TE   ' VBN syntax
 TerSetLicenseKey("my-key");  // set your product License Key.
 Tern toc = new Tern();  // Create a Tern object
 Now set the initial creation properties before the control
 handle is created:
 toc.Location=new Point(0,0);
 toc.Size=new Size(200,200);
 toc.WordWrap=true;           // Word wrap
 toc.PageMode=true;           // page mode
 toc.PrintViewMode=true;      // print-view mode
 toc.FittedView=false;        // fitted view mode
 toc.ShowRuler=true;          // show the horizontal ruler
 toc.ShowVRuler=true;         // show the vertical ruler
 toc.ShowStatusBar=true;      // show the status bar
 toc.ShowToolBar=true;        // show the toolbar
 toc.VertScrollBar=true;      // show vertical toolbar
 toc.HorzScrollBar=true;      // show the horizontal scroll bar
 toc.BorderMargin=true;       // create the border margin
 toc.ReadOnlyMode=false;      // read only
 this.Menu=toc.BuildMenu();   // use the buit-in menu
 toc.Parent=this;

toc.Show(); // show the control

// An example of setting event handler

 toc.Hypertext+=new Tern.EventHypertext(Hypertext);
 toc.MergeData+=new Tern.EventMergeData(MergeData);

// An example setting TE flags

 toc.TerSetFlags5(true,tc.TFLAG5_SET_FORM_TITLE);  // set form title
                automatically when a new file is loaded in the editor

// An example of reading an RTF file:

 toc.ReadTerFile("my-file.rtf");
