TRichMemo - idiot question

Forum > RichMemo

(1/1)

mtanner:
I have just started using TRichMemo. I load text into the RTF field, and it gets displayed ok, with line breaks automatically adjusting when the TRichMemo is resized. So far so good.

I thought I would be able to put RTF markup tags within the text and get the text formatted when displayed by the TRichMemo. That doesn't happen, so I must have misunderstood something. How do I get RTF markup to work?

My basic test is to put \par...\pard around some text in the RTF field, but those tags just get displayed as text.

lucamar:
To add "markup" you have to use the several properties that deal with it: paragraph alignment. bullets, bold text, etc. You don't just add the tags to the text and hope they get re-interpreted. See how it's done in the wiki: RichMemo

To do what you want you'd have to open the rtf file as a text file using a plain-text edit control like, say. a TMemo, and use the TRichMemo only to display the result.

HTH!
