Examples of use

Text objects can be used for a variety of purposes. Some examples throughout the Symbian OS and its standard applications include:

It is very easy to use rich text in an application. The system provides enough flexibility to be tailored for specialist applications, such as the spreadsheets stringent memory economy, or the agenda's complex views.

In the absence of an application engine, typically, two prerequisites for the editing and layout of rich or global text are a text layout and a view. The CTextView and CTextLayout classes provide the engine for handling changes to formatting and content and for drawing and updating the text view. They are optimised for efficiency.
