RichEdit display problem

rbuser

Hello,

I am using the DBRichtText component on a subreport. Sometimes the text is
not entirely displayed. It either misses whole lines or just a few words. It
seems to happen only at the end of the text. The size of the text doesn't
seem to matter.

I am using Report Builder 7 and Delphi6.

I would really appreciate any help with this problem.


Thank you,

Hi Alina,

Which exact version of ReportBuilder are you using? Does this happen with
the same richtext data every time you print the report? Are there images in
your richtext? If you load the richtext directly into an ordinary
TppRichText component from file, do you get the same results? If possible,
please send a small example demonstrating this behavior in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll try to recreate it on my machine.

Hi,

I faced this problem too. After doing some trial and error, I found the
cause of the problem. Basically, TppDBRichText is used to display
rich text. If you have some non-richtext data (plaintext) in the rich
text field, the report builder will perform wrong calculation and
doesn't display the text properly. To check if the richtext field
contain plaintext, just put a TppDBMemo control and bind the richtext
field to the control. If the TppDBMemo control display human readable
text (e.g. no \\RTF\...), then it is a plaintext.
