Replace text manually RichText

rbuser

Hi,

I'm using RichText with MailMerge option. The whole idea is to make it
possible for the user to print Contracts using RB.
The contracts are previously typed in rtf format in external files. Then
RB loads the file (according to the type of the contract). Obviously some
substitution are necessary. Most of these substitutions can be made based on
pipeline data. But some fields must be substituted by calculated fields.
These calculated fields I wish to calculate via RAP. Is there a way to do
that?

Thank you and regards
Ricardo Acras

Hi Ricardo,

In order to manually edit the RichText text, you will need to use the
RichText properties such as SelText, SelStart, SelLength, and SelAttrubutes.
All of these properties are included in RAP and enable you to edit and
format RichText text without having to add special characters and tags. See
the TppRichText topic in the RB Help file for more information.

Hi Nico,

Solved the problem. Thank you very much.

I know this is not a big issue, but could puzzle somebody as puzzled me
for a couple of seconds :-), in the RB help for TTextAttributs, I found the
following text:

"Runtime only. SelAttributes is a TTextAttributes object that describes the
rich text characteristics of the selected text in the rich edit
control.Please refer to Delphi Help for more info on TParaAttributes."

For a momment I was confused about it, then I realize that it was, perhaps,
just a Ctrl-C Ctrl-V problem. :-) Sorry if I'm wrong.
