Hi,
Was wondering if there is any way to set the default font of a RichTextEdit control at runtime?

I'd like the control to remember what the user has chosen and to default to this the next time they access the control.

Part of the problem is the user may be using fonts that I don't have access to at design time (e.g. Japanese fonts).

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter;

  FWIW: I would personally save the App user's RTE control's / RT DWO's default font preferance in an INI file and then restore that setting upon App restart.

Regards ... Chris

Hi,

Assigning a font to the rte attribute does NOT work. What you have to do, is set the font that you want with maybe a single space character. The use rte_1.copyrtf() function to get the "code" that you can store somewhere and later assign to the rte using pastertf().
