Riched20.dll issues working with Rich Text Databands

[ajcervera]

Hello Stimulsoft Team,

For .Net framework limitations (My application is developed on framework .Net 2.0), I am currently using 2012 dll version of your product.

For a long time, I have several reports working with Rich Text databands and I have a lot of problems when Tables and Big images are exported to MS Word/RTF/PDF files (incomplete tables, bad background color, report with whitespace between cells, images are not displayed correctly, MS Word files with neverending pages ...)

I know you use Riched20.dll to render RTF data. I am currently using MS Office 2003 Riched20.dll version. I tested another Riched20.dll version (MS Office 2007, 2010, and 2013) and the final result is different in each version ... but final reports have issues in all version.

So ... I would like to ask you some questions:

1. Is it possible use Stimulsoft reports without using Riched20.dll component for Rich Text databands? How can I do it?
2. Do you have these issues in your test environments? How can you solve them? How can I solve them?
3. What Riched20.dll version do you recommend me?
4. Now, I also need a 64 bits version of this dll. What 64 bits Riched20.dll version do you recommend me?

Riched20.dll issues are also reproduced with Stimulsoft 2014 dll version.

It is critical for me to solve this issues once and for all so I would appreciate your help with this matter.

Thank you in advance,

Best Regards,

Hello,

1. Is it possible use Stimulsoft reports without using Riched20.dll component for Rich Text databands? How can I do it?

Unfortunately, no. This library uses directly itself .NET framework.

2. Do you have these issues in your test environments? How can you solve them? How can I solve them?

It depends on the concrete task.

3. What Riched20.dll version do you recommend me?

Please try to use the last version.

4. Now, I also need a 64 bits version of this dll. What 64 bits Riched20.dll version do you recommend me?

Unfortunately, we couldn't say something about this version.

Also please try to set the not transparent background for the RichText, in this case, system uses another version of this dll.

Thank you.
