[Example][ScaleRichView] How to draw line numbers

Post by Sergey Tkachenko »

Update: this code is not needed in new version of ScaleRichView, because this is a standard feature, see TSRichViewEdit.LineNumberProperty

Assign this code to TSRichViewEdit's OnPaintPage event.

The code draws line numbers at the left margin.
Numbering is restarted on each page.

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.SRichViewEdit1PaintPage(Sender: TObject; PageNo: Integer;
  PageRect, R: TRect; Canvas: TCanvas; Prepaint, Printing: Boolean);
const
  PageNumberDX = 5; // distance between line numbers and text
var
  i: Integer;
  FirstItemNo, LastItemNo, Offs, ItemPart: Integer;
  FirstPageNo, LastPageNo : Integer;
  ItemRect: TRect;
  srv: TSRichViewEdit;
  TextHeight, LineNumber, Left, Top, LeftMargin: Integer;
begin

  // line number font
  Canvas.Font.Name := 'Tahoma';
  Canvas.Font.Size := 6;
  Canvas.Font.Style := [];
  Canvas.Font.Color := clBtnShadow;
  Canvas.Brush.Style := bsClear;
  
  TextHeight := Canvas.TextHeight('0');
  srv := Sender as TSRichViewEdit;
  srv.GetPageStartItemNo(PageNo, FirstItemNo, Offs);
  srv.GetPageLastItemNo(PageNo, LastItemNo, Offs);
  LineNumber := 1;
  LeftMargin := srv.GetLeftMargin100Pix(PageNo);

  for i := FirstItemNo to LastItemNo do begin
    if srv.RichViewEdit.GetItemStyle(i)=rvsTable then
      continue;
    ItemPart := 0;
    while srv.GetItemBounds100(
      srv.RichViewEdit.RVData, i, ItemRect,
      FirstPageNo, LastPageNo, ItemPart) do begin
      if (FirstPageNo = PageNo) and
         ((ItemPart>0) or srv.RichViewEdit.IsFromNewLine(i)) then begin
          Left := PageRect.Left + LeftMargin - PageNumberDX -
            Canvas.TextWidth(IntToStr(LineNumber));
          Top := PageRect.Top + (ItemRect.Top+ItemRect.Bottom - TextHeight) div 2;
          Canvas.TextOut(Left, Top, IntToStr(LineNumber));
        inc(LineNumber);
      end;
      inc(ItemPart);
    end;
  end;
end;

I think we will add line numbers as a built-in option in TSRichViewEdit.

Is it possible to do the same for TRichViewEdit ?

Do you mean line numbers on pages (when printing using TRVPrint) or line numbers directly in the editor?

Drawing line numbers directly in TRichViewEdit would be very inefficient. Line numbers are not stored, they are calculated on drawing. In the ScaleRichView example, numbering are started at the page beginning, so calculation is simple. In TRichViewEdit, we would need to iterate each time from the beginning, it is slow.

In TRVPrint, it is possible, although, unlike ScaleRichView, it does not have documented methods for it.
If you need line numbers in TRVPrint, I can make an example.

Line numbers is a standard feature since ScaleRichView 6.5 (available for registered users)

I think it's good feature that makes reading/writing and navigation more comfortable, also it can be optional as custom panel, or just for plaintext mode.

To make it a standard feature, line numbers must be stored in a document.
Otherwise, they need to be calculated on painting. For a page, it's not critical, because pages have a limited count of lines.
But for a document containing hundreds of thousands lines, calculating line numbers on painting is unacceptable.

So, until internal representation is changed, this feature will not be added.

Yes, Sergey, do you have some code for this? I've been trying to figure something out for hours and having no luck at all! Main issues are getting item positions to draw on the print preview canvas to the left of the rv, and getting print preview line numbers correct. I have a little of it working but only on the first page. After that my line numbers are wrong. Any ideas appreciated. I find I can't format the print rv as it garbles everything up, and if I can't format it I get strange results...

No worries. I like to try getting things to work until I run out of things to try. No hurry, when you have time would be great. Thanks.
