All CLOB fields are accessed through TMemoField objects ...

Thanks for responding to my queries. Maybe I can remove some of the unknowns in my original post and code.

1: <RichEdit>.GetRTFText obtains the raw RTF as a string: function GetRTFText string;

<RichEdit>.SetRTFText inserts raw RTF into the control: procedure SetRTFText (InsertText: string ...

Using V15.3.2 in Delphi XE6.

For my application using RTF text saved in a database BLOB field, I copied the Action List Editor and changed its Save method to return the modified RTF to the caller. I also modified the editor's OnShow event to load the caller-supplied initial RTF into the editor ...

Sergey,

Thanks. I've downloaded the 15.3.2 file.

On 18 July last year I received from you an email containing the download links for RV14, the help and demo files and RichViewActions.

When I try to install the latter in Delphi XE6 I get the following "file not found":

RVFieldItems
RVSideNote
RVFloatingBox
RVFloatingPos
RVGrHandler

For some ...

Thanks, Sergey.

So, if I could strip away the \par just before that last \pard all should work OK ??

The RichText is coming from a database field and so cannot be accessed by Word. The only external ...

Using TRichView V13.5 with Delphi XE2, all service packs.

My program has the TRichView editor from one of your demo programs integrated and called by double-clicking on the field of a grid.

When, in the editor, I type a single line of text: "just a test", and save it, the generated RTF code is as ...

Sergey,

Have just sent the missing dproj file.

The described behaviour (unnecessary recompiles) is also seen by another, bigger, program of mine, but it does not create a sub-tree of folders with all dcus and the exe down in the tree -- it generates all dcus of my program in the project source ...

Yes, Sergey, you are right. It is happening because there are two warnings in module PageSetupRVForm, at lines 284 and 288:
E1048: Unsafe typecast of 'TObject' to 'Integer'

Code is as follows:
283 if GetXBoxItemIndex(_cmbSize)>=0 then begin
284 DevMode.dmPaperSize := Integer(GetXBoxObject(_cmbSize ...

When I compile my program I get the following error message:

Error creating form: Ancestor for TfrmRVBase not found.

in module RichViewActions

What is causing this ???

What is the solution ???

This post is to feed back the final solution adopted, just in case it might be of use to others in the future.

; RTF text passed in to the editor as an AnsiString and the modified
; RTF text received out from the editor in the same way.
; Flag Text_Changed and string Text_In_RTF are fields of the ...

Have just sent an email with accompanying zip file. If you need any further data about my configuration, options or what have you, you need only ask.

I was able to get the full RTF text using TwwDBRichEdit.GetRTFText. Getting it from the database field would not capture any changes to the text that may have been made in the RichEdit and not yet been posted to the database.

Users can make simple text changes directly on the RichEdit. Complex ...

Will do, Sergey, but the other, RTF, problem is more urgent so will do this in the next few days.

Thanks, Sergey.
It would seem that the RichText component Save to Stream is not saving the full database string anymore, which contains RTF code that starts:

"{\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Arial;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset2 Symbol;}{\f2\fnil Courier New;}{\f3\fnil\fcharset0 Verdana;}}
