RichText - RB 6.03

rbuser

Hello !
we are using an application developped with Delphi5 PRO and RB 6.02 or 6.03
?
We can edit the reports at runtime but it is not possible to change at
runtime the text of a TppRichText ?
Is that normal - is this possible with the RB 7.xx ?

Thanks.

You should be able to change the rich text? How are you changin it? In which
event are you changing the rich text?

There is an example of changing it in the installed RB demos. See the main
reports demo project for report #29.

Alternatively, here is an article on changing the rich text with the rich
text from a TRichEdit:

------------------------------------------------
Tech Tip: Copy RTF data from TRichEd to TppRichText
------------------------------------------------

You can copy RTF data from Delphi's TRichEd to ReportBuilder's TppRichText
control by using an intermediate memory stream:



var
lRTFStream: TMemoryStream;

begin

{create temp memory stream}
lRTFStream := TMemoryStream.Create;

{save the TRichEd's rtf data to the memory stream}
RichEdit1.Lines.SaveToStream(lRTFStream);

{load the rtf stream to the TppRichText}
lRTFStream.position := 0;
ppRichText1.LoadFromRTFStream(lRTFStream);

{free the memory stream}
lRTFStream.Free;


end;


Note: An alternative method would be to use RichEdit1.Lines.SaveToFile and
TppRichText.LoadFromFile.

Thanks a lot for you help !
My problem is to edit at run time in the designer - some tpprichtext
component established at design time.
What I imagine is to double click on the rich text to obtain the rich text
editor ... for make some modifications
Is that possible ?

Regards.

Right click over the rich text control and choose Edit from the popup menu
in the run time designer. It works in tests here using RB 7.02. Can you
reproduce this with our ReportExplorer demo?

It doesn't for me - right click doesnt give any popup at run-time - I will
ask my boss to upgrade because I see I'm still working with the 6.02 release


Thanks again for your time!

Try adding ppRichEd to your uses clause.
