Secondly, can I use the FTC code as the XML-> RTF transformer without needing an instance of the FTC canvas?Any tips on doing this with the current FTC code base?I had a little inspiration on how to do this. Let me do a little experiment and get back to you on this.
I created an independent method for you to call that will accomplish what you are looking for. The method will be in the next preview with the following signature in the FTUtilities module. Function ftcXMLToRTF(xml as string) as string This basically creates an invisible window with an FTC control in it and stuffs the XML into the FTC and then pulls out the RTF data thus utilizing all of the FTC software base code.
