Good morning Ricardo,

This doesn't answer your question, but we are having issues with the richtext control also. We have found that the R3 release has corrected the performance issue but we still have issues with the formatting of the rich text. I was wondering if I could reach out to you and see what you did to get the RT to work.

thank you,

The richtext format is also still an issue at my end.  The issue is when all texts are selected then removed using Delete key or CTRL+X combo keys or replaced.  Also, if the control/column loses focus due to a messagebox, the issue will come back after the control/column has regained focus.  Not sure if the following (very ugly) workaround will work for you.  You will need to set the richtextedit control/richtext style column to the correct font settings first in the painter.

For richtextedit control:

Use keybd_event API to override the key presses.  You may need to Post/and or use Yield to make things work.

With the delete key,  keybd_event(8) -- backspace, then returning 1 in the key event.

With the CTRL+X combo keys, PasteRTF('blank rtf paragraph with your font settings'), then keybd_event(8).

When all texts are replaced, for example, after doing a spellcheck, keybd_event(37) -- left arrow did the trick for me.

For richtext style column:

Some key presses and mouse events are not being captured.  So you may need to put the code after the column value has changed, or use the Other event.

dw_1.SetColumn(column)
dw_1.SetRichTextFaceName(fontface)
dw_1.SetRichTextSize(fontsize)

Sorry I'm not able to post the actual codes due to work restrictions.

If anyone has a better/prettier workaround, please share your solution.

Apart from the richtext formatting issues, there are still other issues that I would love for Appeon to fix, like key presses and mouse events not being captured for richtext style columns, as I indicated above.  Also just discovered in R3 that if you add a blank line (CR) using the enter key in the richtextedit control, CopyRTF(false) returns blank even if the richtextedit control isn't empty.  It'll also be good if tooltips for hyperlinks are shown without using the workaround that I've done... maybe a new property setting?

Hi Guys,

I've managed a workaround to the original issue that I posted.  The link address to display in the tooltip is in a datastore, together with X and Y positions and text widths.  Doing a Find in the datastore for the X and Y coordinates to match the mouse pointer position to get the link address to display in the tooltip works if the richtxtedit control is not (vertically) scrolled.  Once it is scrolled, the match can no longer be found in the datastore.  In this case, the workaround is to Find just the match for the X coordinate.  Then incrementally add to the mouse pointer's Y position then check against the Y position/width in the datastore until found.

Cheers,

Ricardo
