Simple Stable HTML viewer control

Postby concord » Fri Aug 16, 2019 1:08 pm

I've been using the Richtx32.ocx to display RichText and nBit's HTML ocx (rmpHTML.ocx) for HTML.
Both these controls crash the jade.exe unless DEP is disabled.

All I really need is a simple stable way to display formatted text within a Jade Painter control.

If I can find a good html viewing solution I'll just do away with Rich Text.

Any suggestions?

Tracked down a more recent version of the nBit HTML editor and it's working fine with DEP switched on... :)

It'd be handy if I could get the RichText going again, I've just realised this is a native Jade control.
I've been shipping a specific version of RICHTX32.OCX with my bin and registering it for so long it made me think it was third party.
I just unregistered this and searched out a slightly more recent looking version from Windows\SysWOW64 (file version 6.1.97.82) but the jade.exe still crashed with when the form was shown.

Oh dear, I should be focusing on riched20.dll instead.
