Load an rtf file with images

bruce2

I found this snippet of code

var
 RichView: TfrxRichView;
 Stream: TMemoryStream;
 Str: string;
begin
 RichView := TfrxRichView(frxReport2.FindObject('Rich1'));
 if RichView = nil then
   Exit;
 Stream := TMemoryStream.Create;
 try
   Stream.LoadFromFile('my.rtf');
   SetLength(Str, Stream.Size);
   Stream.Read(Str[1], Stream.Size);
   RichView.RichEdit.Text := Str;
 finally // wrap up
   Stream.Free;
 end;    // try/finally
 if frxReport2.PrepareReport then
   frxReport2.ShowPreparedReport;
end;

It works just as it is supposed to....but, the file I want to load has images. They don't show up in the report. Do I need to set something?

Also, where the heck can I download the help doc's for version 3 ????????

Thanks all,

bruce

Bruce in stead of all the manipulation where you are only handling the strings into text.
try richviw.richedit.loadfromfile('path&filename');
docs can be found on product page under downloads.

Hey gordk,

Thanks for the reply, but the Richview.RichEdit.LoadFromFile(...) returns.....Undeclared Identifier: 'LoadFromFile'.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

whoops try richview.richedit.lines.loadfromfile();

Hey gordk,

This works fine but it seems that it only shows the first page of a two page rtf file.

Sorry for asking so many dumb questions.

Check the stretch setting of the rtfmemo and the stretch and allowsplit settings of the band which contains the rtfmemo.
