Make sure to use the "built in TX text control" in your application object > other variables > richtext tabpage, because that's the way Appeon is going in future releases.

The "built-in Rich text control" does do some things better than the other one, but then .. has it's own bugs.

Warning: the SelectedText() function, chops off characters of text when the text starts with enters and is followed by enters, although I think it's fixed on 2019. (broken in the beta R2 2019 though!). https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/search/view?id=3600

Just do a search on the bug site to see if it's really a good solution for you. (most of the bugs also apply to the rte datawindow by the way).



An alternative way, would be to use a HTML editor using the (for now MS) browser control. I think there's some sample of that on topwizprogramming.com by Roland Smith. There are also other html online freeware editors.

Maybe the most secure thing is to use MS Word for now, as your going to need OLE anyway to send your email.



My advice, since you are on 2019 and certain bugs have been fixed, is to simply try it. If it doesn't work, go html or word

or .... do something like what I'm doing, build your own RTE (I'm not totally done with that one though):

Even if you don't want to use my very initial home-grown editor https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/outlook-email-using-richertext-activex, you'll still find all the code you need to send, validate and manage email with outlook (office 64 or 32).

Any questions, let me know.

Okay, I'm going to sleep now: just this last thing, my sample also shows how to embedd / attach images to the email in such a way that most email servers/client won't reject it. (at least for today).
