How to assign external rich text file (.RTF) to TppRichtext

rbuser

Hello

I have a TppRichText on a detail band of a report definition.

How can I assign an external rtf file eg. test.rtf to the TppRichText on the
detail band ?

Many Thanks

Hi Kamran,

You can use the LoadFromFile or LoadFromRTFStream routines to load RTF
data into a TppRichText control. See the TppRichText documentation for
more information about these routines.

Hi Nico

Thanks for the help. I have checked the guide but
I was just not sure how to properly structure my statement.

The richtextholder is on the detail band of the report and I simply wanted
to replace what is there
in the run time editor with a rich text file of my own.

so is it something like:

ReportFrm.LetterLayout.DetailBand.RichTextHolder.LoadFromFile('myfile.rtf');



thanks

If the RTF file can change at every detail record, then:

procedure TReportFrm.ppDetailBand1BeforePrint(Sender: TObject);
var
fName: string;
begin
fName:= ;

if FileExists(fName) then
ppRichText1.LoadFromFile('fName')
else
ppRichText1.RichText:=''; // clear previously loaded RTF text
// ppRichText1.Clear; instead?
end;


If it never changes, then just put the same code in your
TReportFrm.OnCreate event.
