Hi there, I'm working with RVXML, and trying to figure out how to get this to happen: 1. Save styles in the XML (this works fine). 2. Reload styles from the XML in such a way that if they're standard styles, they DON'T overwrite the standard styles in the TRVStyle component, but when they're non-sta...

That's true, but in my situation I'm not applying a single style to all the items: I'm creating new styles for each item based on their existing style, with some modifications. In other words, they don't all end up looking identical; they all end up changed, but different. I did figure out how to do...

I'm having trouble with something very simple, but I just can't figure out how to do it. I need to do a text style conversion over a range of text which may include several items, and may begin and end in the middle of items. So I need to: Split the first item where the selection starts, and create ...

Hi Sergey,

I take your point. I guess what I'm looking for is some kind of cascading styles system, but that's a bit ambitious!

I haven't heard of ModifiedProperties -- is there documentation anywhere for that?

Hi there, [I previously posted this in the private support forum by mistake; I intended it to be in the public forum.] I'd like to be able to define a TextStyle in the TRVStyle's list of Text Styles without specifying one or more of its properties (for instance, font size). The idea of this is that ...

Hi there,

I'd like to provide an action for users to clear existing text styles from selected text (i.e., set the style to plain text, not bold, not italic, not underlined, black text on white) WITHOUT changing the font name or size. Is there a simple way to do this?

All help appreciated,
Martin

The Advanced Hypertext demo has this comment: { IMPORTANT: Do not use spaces in Tag strings (you can use them, but you } { will not be able to save such tags in RVF files) } Is this still the case? If so, what's the reason for it, and is there a workaround? I need to save several attributes in hyper...

I seem to have solved the problem by explicitly setting the width of the offscreen TRichViewEdit to 600. It previously had no width setting at all; once I set it to 600, then the table does appear at 100% width in the document, which is fine.

Hi there, I'm creating a Rich View document offscreen, in a TRichViewEdit control which is never visible. When I save this document to RTF, tables in the document appear to be saved at a width of 1.99" (at least, that's how they appear in OpenOffice Writer). I have table.BestWidth set to -100 (...

Thanks Sergey -- it was the FormatString that was the problem. I can't be sure that the first item in each comment won't be a table, so I have to stick with my less efficient version. The only problem that remains is the issue of embedded lists inside the comments. They're not indented enough, becau...

I'm doing an operation in which I'm adding a series of small TRichView documents, stored in RVF, to the end of an existing document. Each of these small documents is actually a comment, so I need to create a numbered list, adding a list marker before each comment. This seems to be half-working; all ...

That did it!

I keep forgetting that format call. Doh!

Cheers,
Martin

Gentle bump for this question...

My mistake! I was looking at the RTF file in WordPad! It looks as though WordPad doesn't support background colours in RTF. When I look at the file in a word-processor, the background colours show up. Sorry about that -- I didn't think background colours were a particularly advanced feature! Cheers,...

No, the RVF output looks fine. There seems to be a problem saving the background colour in text styles to RTF. This is not limited to my application, because when I open the RVF file in the Action Test Demo, then save it out as RTF, the background colours are missing. MyApp -> save to RTF: backgroun...
