The software component vendor Text Control announced the immediate availability of its latest version X12 for all platforms including ASP.NET, Windows Forms, WPF and ActiveX.

The HTML5-based, cross-browser web editor has been extended with full drag and drop support. MS Word DOC, DOCX, RTF and image files can be directly dropped into the editor and formatted content can be pasted from client applications such as MS Word. The ribbon bar has been styled with a modern, fresh new Office 2013 inspired icon pack with 700+ new icons. The CSS-based, customizable ribbon bar is fully collapsible and scrollable.

TX Text Control .NET Server for ASP.NET provides a fully featured spell-check dialog for the web editor in combination with the new version 6.0 of TX Spell .NET. It provides the same functionality like the Windows pendant including suggestions, full editing mode, ignore and change options.

In version X12, the web editor is able to print documents directly by opening the native browser print dialog. This enables developers to utilize the integrated print preview, to change the printer settings and to print content directly. Additionally, the editor provides the same programming interface to all document elements like the non-UI component ServerTextControl.

TX Text Control .NET for WPF X12 is shipped with ready-to-use, completely customizable ribbon tabs. They provide ribbon groups and buttons for the typical tasks such as formatting text or inserting objects such as images, headers and footers or barcodes.

A new WPF presentation engine has been implemented which enables a better integration in the WPF Framework, so that other framework elements can overlap a TextControl object. This new WPF rendering engine allows all types of transformations, ‘Adorners’ and other typical WPF features such as effects like ‘DropShadow’ and ‘Blur’ effects. New touch and stylus events help developers to create multi-touch interfaces for Windows applications.
