RichEdit problems

rbuser

Hello,

I have a strange problem with printing a richtedit field.
I have a report, that has in its detail band only one richedit
component.
Before I print, I fill this richedit component with coloured text.
(like in the Delphi IDE, where the source is coloured)
The text can be up to 30 pages. But the problem occurs also,
if the text is 2 pages long.

If I print to "screen", everything is perfect. The preview is fine and
if
I then print the report, the text is ok.
But, if I print directly to "printer", the last 9 lines are without
colour.

Any suggestions ?


Thanks in advance


Thomas

Make sure you have the latest printer driver installed.

The last 9 lines of every page don't print with color, or just the end of
the rich text? RB relies on Delphi's TRichEdit.

What version of RB and Delphi are you using?

You could send a report template with just a TppRichText and some richtext
in it to support@digital-metaphors.com and we can test it here.

Hi Jim,

thanks for your answer.


It is.
If I first watch the preview on the screen and then print, it is fine.
If I print directly to the printer it is wrong. So, I do not believe, that
this
is a printer driver problem.



The end of the richt text.


RB 5.53 and Delphi 5.


This is a little bit difficult, because the colour is only added at runtime.
But I try to
send you the (running) "ripple" of the program.


Thanks

Thomas

You're using the OnPrint event of the TppRichText to assign the color,
correct? Do you have a twopass report? Can you check the SelLength
property to see if there is any variation in the length of the selected
text, from the preview to printing directly to the printer, or between
passes?
