Hi all,

I thought I'd play around with the RichText edit style on one of the fields in a datawindow.  I don't want the toolbar to show up every time I click in that field. Rather, I'd like something like the CTRL+ALT+D (or some other shortcut) to popup when the user wants to change something on the font.

The datawindow only retrieves one record.  I think it's a free-form DW, but might be a tabulare dw. The name of the dw control on the window is "dw_6". The name of the DataObject is "d_estimate_rt". And the name of the RichText field is "description".

I tried 2 different ways in the dw control's constructor script to no avail. (one at a time)

//this.Modify ( "Datawindow.RichTextToolBarActivation=0")
this.Modify ( "description.RichTextToolBarActivation=0")

I don't see anything in the dw painter itself that let's me set anything related to RichText edit style.

TIA,

~~~Tracy

Well, once I figured it out, it was easy! On the DW control's constructor event in the window, I simply added:

this.RichTextToolbarActivation = RichTextToolbarActivationNever!

Now the toolbar never shows up.  But when the user types CTRL+ALT+D, the font pop-up window displays until the user click OK or cancel.

Realized after a few more edits that I can set the RichText Toolbar Activation Mode property on the datawindow control in the window. No need for the extra script in the constructor event.
