Problems with RichtText in Report

I have several problems with the standard RichText Object.

1. Even though the text in the RichObject is printed ok in preview, when printing (HP 4L) it repeats the first two or three lines after its last line.

2. The Report Summary is not printed on a seperate page, but under the band wich contains the RichText Object.

When I replace both RichText objects with Text objects (memo's) both problems are solved (but I have unformatted text).

Has anyone similar experiences? Is it usefull to change to the RichText Object 2.0, which is not a standard install?

    Hi in my own experience i use the rxlib richtext with fr it seems to give better results as it is aware of the Ms richdll versions.
    If you are using long richtext memos set the breaked property to true to break over pages.
    if you want summary band to appear on a seperate page set newpage to tru in obp event of band or place it on a separate design page.

    Thanks. I 'll try the RXLib version, try setting newpage in the obp event. I have not yet worked with sperate design pages, but i'll dive in that as well.

    hi
    when trying the rx lib watch which version you use.
    if you have d7 there is one on the companion cd along with the jvcl
    it doesn't require you to use whole jvcl but has been modified for d6 d7, this is the one i currently use.

    if you try to use the the rx objects that have been incorporated into jvcl you will have to modify fr files to suit.

    any how you will have to edit the fr.inc file and recompile frlib.

    Hi GordK,


    I have installed the JVCL library and found that I have to change the RxRichEdit refrences in either JvRichEdit or JvxRichedit. What was your choice?

    Further, I have looked in the documentation to find something about using mulitpage reports, but the docs are very short about that. How do you adress the various pages en how do you couple them to form a single report?
    I have found the TitlePage example, but I don't really understand how it works.

    Can you give me some directions?

    Hi Hans
    set the stretched properties of the band to true and the breaked property to true
    this should break the pages for you. There was another lib available wich still bore the rx naming but since youv'e changed to the jvcl you should be ok also.

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.
