Complete version history
Minimum Requirements
The FTC is supported for latest Xojo release and one release back. It’s possible it will work in later versions but that is unsupported.
The FTC provides the infrastructure for spell checking, but does not provide the actual spell checking software. The FTC demo uses the BKS Spell Checker plugin as the base spell checker and may be purchased separately. You may use any spell checking software you like with the FTC.
If you want to run the optional regression test suite in the FTC demo application, you will need the “MBS REALbasic ComputerControl Plugin.”
