OK ... but that is the feature I thought had been implemented, and which would be very helpful.
I never edit a memo exclusively. It is part of a record and I want to be able to edit all of the fields at the same time. It would be nice to have an option with a control to use RTF. In a command line, the addition of RTF before UPDATE, allowing it to edit any imported text as RTF, and then save it with the record, would be a real plus.
We can use richedit command instead of get command for this purpose.
@ r, c RICHEDIT oRtf VAR cText OF oDlg ............... etc ..........
We need to include richedit.ch
But I'm using a RESOURCE file ...
REDEFINE RICHEDIT ...
REDEFINE RICHEDIT oRtf VAR oTxt:ltrtxt ID 912 OF oDlg UPDATE
Fails on compile at RICHEDIT.
Yes, #INCLUDE "richedit.ch" is in the file
Hi to all, sorry for jumping in...
The only example in SAMPLES with RTF from resources is TESTRICH.PRG but does not use RICHEDIT.CH
It compiles and runs OK.
If RICHEDIT.CH is included and:
oRich = TRichEdit():Redefine( 100, { || "" }, oDlg )
is changed to:
REDEFINE RICHEDIT oRich ID 100 OF oDlg
the program compiles but aborts with:
Error BASE/1005 No exported variable: LHIGHLIGHT
in the line:
oRich:lHighLight = .f.
Strange...
Regards, Euclides
I am working with the latest copy of FWH and I get the same error with, or without richedit.ch.
It simply will not build.

I was not be able to reproduce the problem. Can I see a reduced self-contained sample, please?

It is in a .prg that cannot be condensed.
To put it very simply, here is the original code line which compiles perfectly:
REDEFINE GET oTxt:ltrtxt MEMO ID 912 OF oDlg UPDATE
Here is the revised code line that fails:
REDEFINE RICHEDIT oRtf VAR oTxt:ltrtxt ID 912 OF oDlg UPDATE
The error message, when compiling with xHarbour ( .com version ) is:
Error E0030 Syntax error: "syntax error at 'RICHEDIT'"
I think the problem is in the UPDATE
Removing update allows it to build.
The problem is that there is no bar to allow for use of RTF features. It simply brings it up as text.
The text is already there. I want to bring it up from the original text as RTF, edit it and then save it.
1) The current data is stored in an .fpt file as TEXT.
2) I want to call it up in RichEdit mode
3) I want the control to have the toolbar so I can do the editing of the text
4) The final result should be saved as RTF in the .fpt file.
If I use MEMOEDIT( ), this is supported with a .t. in the 7th parameter.
I am using an .rc dialog. and so I wanted to replace the GET ( as shown in an earlier post in this thread ) with the RichEdit capability.
I am following the guidance I was given to do so.
Now, the Edit control ( which is now a RichEdit control ), is completely blank. The text in the memo field does not display, nor does the toolbar needed for RichEdit.
I don't see a sample of how to do this.
You've seen the example?
SetChildBar ( testrtf.prg)
Edit: I understand that maybe what you mean is that the control REDEFINE not include the BAR, no?
