WPTools can do it as they have their own rich text engine and doesn't rely
on Window's RichEd.dll. We have an example which shows how to replace the
rich text engine with InfoPower's rich text control. See your installed
..\RBuilder\Infopower directory. You'll need to do somethign similar to
this, to support WPTool's rich text component.

Jim Bennett,

How to do to justify the text in the ppRichtext, which is the method or
procedure to be executed for this to happen. Because you have to execute
some thing or else it doesn't work. The examples and the help of InfoPower
doesn't explain anything and the example of ReportBuilder doesn't show
anything.

At once I thank

Ivan Christian.

There is an article in the TechTips newsgroup for RichText and has an
article which explains our basic rich text architecture.

You can create a descendent for the wpTools rich text control and register
it with RB. You'll be able to call the public functions and set the public
and published properties on your descendent through code. If you would like
to replace the form editor, you can also do this, but it may be tricky,
depending on how wpTools wrote their code. We did this for the Infopower
example with the following project, if you are curious.

Jim Bennett,

I didn't get to alter the editor of lines of TppRichText, because I didn't
find the p?cote that should be compiled to alter the standard editor of
lines of TppRichText. I created my own editor of lines and I saved like
ppRichEd.pas and I compile all of Report Builder pac?teses more it continues
executing the old editor of lines. How do I get to compile my editor and as
I do for him to execute?

I thank your attention.

Respectfully,

Ivan Christian

By running the infopower example, you'll notice that the editor is the
same... Only the rich text engine behind it is different. However, we tried
to use the infopower editor in the example provided in the previous post,
and it wasn't much fun to pull out their editor and show it in RB.

The easier approach, and to which I think you will want to do, is to replace
the form with your own TppCustomRTFEditor descendent. You'll want to
unregister the RB version and register yours at the bottom of your RTF
editor form unit:


initialization
ppUnRegisterForm(TppCustomRTFEditor);
ppRegisterForm(TppCustomRTFEditor, TMYRTFEditor);

finalization

ppUnRegisterForm(TMYRTFEditor);

row3 row4

row5

or

row1 row4 3 files, 2 columns

row2 row5

row3

Can you help me?

Thank you, Paula.

Create two columns in the report. Report.Columns := 2
Then set the DetailBand's ColumnTraversal property. Looks like you want to
set the column count to (RecordCount div 2).
