Justify Text in a ppRichText Component

rbuser

Hi all,

I have delphi 6 ent. with Report builder Ent. 6.03.
Is it possible to justify a line or paragraph in the alignement of the
ppRichText component, it seems just to have Leftjustify, centerJustify and
rightjustify? Justlike we do in the ppMemo.

Thanks in advance

Article: ReportBuilder's RichText architecture
----------------------------------------------


The RichText in ReportBuilder is a wrapper around Delphi's TRichEdit which
in turn relies on Windows. There are two versions of Windows richedit -
RichEd32.dll is the older one and RichEd20.dll is a newer one (RichEd32 is
being phased out). Delphi by default relies on RichEd32 - the older version.
To use some of the more advanced features of Windows RichEdit, see the topic
on InfoPower RichEdit Support below.

In general Windows RichEdit supports the type of formatting that you can do
using WordPad.



InfoPower RichEdit Support
---------------------------
InfoPower from Woll2Woll Software is a popular database add-on product for
Delphi. InfoPower's TwwRichEdit components support the Windows RichEdit2
format. This format allows the rich text data to contain embedded bitmaps
and OLE objects. For more information please see http:\\www.Woll2Woll.com.

ReportBuilder includes a component that enables the TppRichText and
TppDBRichText controls in ReportBuilder to use the formatting capabilities
of InfoPower's TwwRichEdit when rendering RTF data. The ppWWRichEd.pas unit
located in the ..\RBuilder\InfoPower directory defines a TwwDBRichEdit
descendant and then registers the class with ReportBuilder. This enables the
TppRichText and TppDBRichText controls in ReportBuilder to use the
formatting capabilities of TwwDBRichEidt when rendering data.


WPTools Support
----------------
WPTools is a collection of components used to edit and print formatted text.
With its own RTF engine, WPTools offers numerous features not supported by
the standard Windows RichEd20.dll. This control lets you use tables,
paragraph frames, headers and footers etc. Using the optional ReportBuilder
support units for WPTools 2.x, you can print the enhanced WPTools features
(justified text, tables, graphics...) within your ReportBuilder reports. For
more information please see http:\\www.wptools.de.

I can?t compile the project,
because he can?t find this file "wwriched.dcu", and I don?t have it or the
.pas file that is on the uses clauses of the ppwwriched.dcu. why?

thanks in advance

Hello again,
I can?t compile the tppwwriched.pas because it can?t find the wwriched.pas,
may be because I don't have the infopower suite, I only have the wptools
suite, how can I integrate this suite with the reportbuilder?

Thanks

Hi Joao,

The wwRiched.pas is a file used only for InfoPower... It is not needed to
work with WPTools. When you purchase WPTools, I believe they provide their
own delphi package to enable you to integrate it with ReportBuilder, but you
should not be using any files with the prefix 'ww' with WPTools.
