Changing the Font of a DBRichtext

rbuser

Is there a way to assign a certain font to a DBRichtext at runtime,
overriding the font information contained in the RTFtext?

Hi Walter,

In order to change the text attributes of a richtext component, you will
need to use the TppRichText properties SelText, SelLength, SelStart to
define the text to be altered, then assign the attrubutes using the
SelAttributes property. Take a look at the following properties in the
RBuilder help for more information.

I tried to do that in RichTextonPrint, but obviously SelAttributes is
read only. Inside RAP TTextattributes is unknown, and trying to access
SelAttributes.Name or SelAttributes.Size results in a compilation error.
I then defined a passthrough function with a Parameter of Type
TppCustomRichtext, where I was able to set all the properties of
SelAttributes. BTW, in this project I'm still using RB 7.03.
Do you have any idea where my train of thought took a wrong turn?

Hi Walter,

Sorry, yes you will need to create a pass-thru function to access the
various properties of the TTextAttributes object. In your message below you
mention that you already do this. Is this not working or are you receiving
an error of some sort?

yes, it works, but from the documentation and your mail I got the
impression that it should work with the Reportbuilder Components.
Perhaps the helpfile should be more clear about this.

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the feedback. I will take a look at this and possibly have it
re-worded for a later release.
