RBuilder 9.01 and TppRichtext

rbuser

I have a problem with the new Report Builder version 9.01 and the
TppRichtext-component. In my project is a stringvalue assigned to the
richtext-property like this:

Var
MyText : string;
begin
MyText := 'This is a test';
MyRichtextObject.Richtext := MyText;
end;

It runs in the earlier versions but now the text is not be printed. Is there
a new feature I don't know? What does "Mailmerge" mean?

Cheers

Hi Ingo,

In my testing, the code you posted below seems to work correctly. Which
event are you assigning the RichText property of the TppRichText component?

In one project it is used in ReportBeforePrint and in another in
HeaderBandBeforePrint. There must be a difference between rb 9.01 and the
earlier versions.

Hello, as I wrote few days before in this section, there is bug caused by
new undo functionality:

{ here were some other changes correcting bugs in DBRichText, find topic:
IMPORTANT! Re: Opening report containing DBRichText in designer causes
Access Violation error }

Following procedure must be corrected otherwise RichText is not possible to
modify by code when Designer is active !!! (ppRichTx.pas)

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

procedure TppCustomRichText.LoadFromRTFStream(aStream: TStream);
var
tempStream: TMemoryStream;
begin
tempStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
try
tempStream.CopyFrom(aStream, 0);
aStream.Position := 0;
tempStream.Position := 0;

BeforePropertyChange('RichText');

if (MaxLength > 0) and (MaxLength < tempStream.Size) then
SetMaxLength(tempStream.Size);
FRichTextStrings.LoadFromStream(tempStream);
finally
tempStream.Free;
end;

InvalidateDesignControl;
PropertyChange; {ok to call this here}
Reset; {notify report engine}

end; {procedure, LoadFromStream}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Than recompile your packages or add RB source path to your project's search
list

PS: There is also a serious bug in RB 9.01 when using DBRichText. I have
published solution for that bug too, but I get no response from Digital
Metaphors....
