I was actually wanting to scroll past the end of the doc, beyond the last line of actual text. But I doubt the rve does that. Not a big deal, be nice if it did but no problem.

The scroll code was helpful, thanks. I was just about to try and figure out how to scroll to the end of the doc today so ...

Hi Sergey,

Thanks, that did work. Here's how I set mine up for 1 rve:
i := Sender.ItemNo;
if Sender.RVData=rve.RVData then
j := rve.CurItemNo;
repeat
MakeRed := i=j;
if MakeRed then
break;
dec(i);
until TCustomRVData(Sender.RVData).IsFromNewLine(i+1);
if MakeRed then begin
//Canvas.Brush ...

Sergey,

I am trying to do some drawing on the background using RVStyle1DrawParaBack. But I can't get it to work. I'm trying to just draw a color in the background but only in the current para. I need a way to restrict it to just the para with the cursor in it, otherwise it draws it in every para. I ...

Thanks Sergey, looks like doc properties should work. I'll try it soon.

Edit: Yes, the doc properties worked great. MUCH better than what I was doing. Thanks!

Hi Sergey,

Is there a way to scroll an rve past the end line? I tried rvoScrollToEnd but I don't see it doing anything.

In my scintilla control, I can set it to scroll to the end of the text:


scroll to end.png

Or, scroll past the end:


scroll past end.png

I'd like to get the rve to scroll ...

Hi Sergey,

OK, I'm using rvfoSaveStyleTemplatesOnlyNames and so far, yes, that seems to work.

Thanks!

Sergey,

I am saving my RVF SelStart, SelLen and scroll positions in the file itself. I prefer that to using an external INI or XML file. Here's what I'm using:
rve.SetItemExtraStrProperty(0, rvespTag,
SelStart.ToString + ',' + SelLen.ToString + ',' +
VScroll.ToString + ',' + HScroll.ToString ...

Hi Sergey,

OK, let's say I create a style template: st1. I open or create an RVF and apply the st1 to some text, then save the file. All that works fine.

Now, while the file is closed , let's say I change some parameters of st1 in Delphi. Now, I reopen that saved file again in my app. Any st1 text ...

Sergey,

What is the fastest way to get all the plain text from an RVF file? I assume I'd have to load the file into an rve or rv first.

I found rve.GetTextBuf() and RVGetTextRange(). If rve.GetTextBuf() is the best way, do you have example code on how to use that? RVGetTextRange is no problem if ...

Thanks Sergey, that fixed it.

Usually in this part of the code I'm adding to the top of a doc, but I sometimes use it in other places so insert works for me.

Thanks again

I have a blank rve. I want to add a break and one return. So, I do this:
rve.InsertBreak( 1, rvbs3d, clNone );
it works fine, just what I want. Now, I want one return after it, so I add this:
rve.InsertText(#13);
That works, but I always get 2 returns, not 1. How do I get 1 return? I've tried ...

Sergey,

Yes, that describes what I was seeing. For now I went with saving the file with just the names of the style templates by setting rvfoSaveStyleTemplatesOnlyNames to true in the RVFOptions. Seems to be working OK. If that causes issues later I can always go back to what I was doing as that ...

Well, seems to have something to do with whether or not I save paragraphs with rvfoSaveParaStyles, and I do need to save them. I wound up with this code to make it work:
for i := 0 to rve.Style.StyleTemplates.Count-1 do
ShowMessage(i.ToString + ': ' + rve.Style.StyleTemplates[i].Name + ' ' +
rve ...

(I assume that only these 3 properties are defined in this styletemplate, other properties are default/inherited)

Also, make sure that rve.UseStyleTemplates = True.
Hi Sergey, Yes, what you listed is all that I'm trying to do right now, and yes, I've had the usestyletemplates thing checked all ...

Did you include rvpiBackground_Color in rve.Style.StyleTemplates[0].ValidParaProperties?

Also, the result depends on selection and a kind of the paragraph style.
If Kind = rvstkText, this styletemplate is never applied to paragraph, its paragraph properties are ignored.
If Kind = rvstkParaText ...
