Yes, I will give these steps a try. I assume then, to render theinitial graphics for my display I'll need to create a "hidden" FTCwindow to do the rendering. So that when my app opens a saveddocument, it can go through and produce the renderings of the textto display.


Yes, that is something you would want to do.

It would be nice if the rendering were de-coupled from the controlsso that I could just command the FTDocument to draw into a rect, aswell as tell me the dimensions necessary, given a maximum width.Then we could use the rendering facilities to display the text inother places than just the editor.


Unfortunately there is not a way at this time to decouple them at
this time, but don't think I haven't thought about it!
