Having another problem with FTC.
I have a containerControl in which I have a canvas with FTEditField as its
super.
I now embed one or more of these containerControls into the mainWindow.
Now, when I try to call any of the getDoc functions, e.g.
getDoc.getTotalPageLength I get a NilObjectException for getDoc. Checking shows
that the doc property is empty.
What am I missing?
