Access variables and BusinessObjects from within a RichText

Hi,
when I use a Text-Field I can use the right hand list to access variables, columns, BusinessObjects, ...

but when I use a RichText-Field I don't have that right hand list:
- Bild 3.png (42.23 KiB) Viewed 3759 times
Is that by design or is something missing somewhere? I can still use something like {MyBusinesObject.Property} to let the data shown, but it is really cumbersome to remember exactly how the objects and/or variables are named. Any idea?
Oh, and by the way: Why is the RTF-Editor so wide and can't be resized? The Text-Editor is much smaller and CAN be resized...
Cheers,
Pascal

Hello.
The Dictionary panel wasn't implemented in the Rich Text Editor. If you rally need it, please, send a request to
support@stimulsoft.com.
We will make this window resizable in one of our next prerelease build.
Thank you.

Hello.
Maybe we didn't understand each other. It's possible to add Data Source filed in Rich Text. You should set the Full Convert Expression property of the Rich Text component. But this will make report rendering slower.
Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,
I was already able to use Data-Fields in RichText-Fields but I had to enter them manually using the following syntax:
"Some Text {BusinessObject.Property}, some more Text"
Of course this works, but I would like to "protect" users from using this kind of "code". So it would be better to just use the dictionary-panel and drag the fields into the RichText-Editor.
Therefore my feature-request...
Cheers,
Pascal
