Richedit.Add()

When I add text to a richedit of a TfrxRichview component using richedit.Add(some text) it is added as plain text. I can add RTF text if it has come from a Richtext component (a datafield)and it will be formatted.
What defines the initial formatting of the plain text that is displayed? I have seen this added text displayed in different sizes and different styles.
Are the Richedit properties in the TfrxRichview the same a the richedit properties in delphi? If not where can I find info on the properties?

    Found that I can define the font size etc. by setting this for the edit i am using to type into. The first time I did this it didn't work but i think that was due to another delphi error that has now been fixed.
    I would like to know where I can find the richedit properties I can use in the script directly.

    Correction______
    The font settings are the ones already set in the Richedit portion of the TfrxRichview. This information is lost when you do a richedit.lines.clear before you add new lines using richedit.lines.add()
    Is it possible to manipulate the richedit controls through code or do I have to use the editor interface?

    Hi ksihota, I would also recommend to create a support ticket on this. This issue might need to be duplicated.

    I don't think there is an issue with the richedit. I believe it is working as designed. The issue I had was actually a Delphi 2009 Win7 problem that required a fix.
    Since I applied the fix the other issue (the edit not displaying the selected font) disappeared. This may have just been a side effect as the real problem was the application not shutting down and an error being thrown...Assertion failure: "(!SetThreadContext failed")"

    My only issue now is trying to get the richedit to do what I want. If there is no way to add rtf formatted text in code, I may have to look at another approach.
    I just can't seem to find any answer as to where the richedit properties used in the TfrxRichview are published, although this may not help me at all since every post I have read seems to indicate that you cannot control the text.

    Try to use TfrxRichView.Richedit.Lines.LoadFromStream

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
