Description

txtshell is an application that provides a shell for the text example code to run in. It provides four concrete text example controls, CGlobalControl, CRichControl, CStyleControl and CViewControl, all derived from the abstract base class CGraphicExampleControl. Each of these controls implements an UpdateModelL() function that is called each time the current step in the example is advanced. Each step modifies the content, formatting, or display of the text in a different way. For details, see the appropriate control example.

Each of these controls illustrates a different set of operations which can be performed on a text object or a text view.

Note: This example is designed to work properly with Techview and there is no guarantee that it will work with other interfaces.
