New: Print/Display RichText

[nageswaragunupudi]

From the next version onwards, the same methods/commands which we have been using all along for display/print multi-line text, will display/print RichText also, without any additional coding by the programmer.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

oWnd:SayText( cText, aRect, ... )
oPrn:SayText( cText, aRect, ... )
@ r,c PRINT TO oPrn TEXT cText SIZE w,h INCHES/CM/MM
 

samples\rtfprn.prg

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "fivewin.ch"

function Main()

   local oPrn, cText, cRtf, oFont, oBold

   cText := MEMOREAD( "rtfprn.prg" )
   cRtf  := MEMOREAD( "testrtf.rtf" )

   PRINT oPrn PREVIEW

   DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "LUCIDA CONSOLE" SIZE 0,-10 OF oPrn
   DEFINE FONT oBold NAME "ARIAL" SIZE 0,-20 OF oPrn

   PAGE

      oPrn:Say( 0.5, 0.8, "Rich Text", oBold,,,,, "INCHES" )
      oPrn:Box( 0.8, 0.8, 5.2, 7.2,,,, "INCHES" )
      @ 1, 1 PRINT TO oPrn TEXT cRtf  SIZE 6,4 INCHES

      oPrn:Say( 5.5, 0.8, "Normal Text", oBold,,,,, "INCHES" )
      oPrn:Box( 5.8, 0.8, 10.2, 7.2,,,, "INCHES" )
      @ 6, 1 PRINT TO oPrn TEXT cText SIZE 6,4 INCHES FONT oFont

   ENDPAGE
   ENDPRINT

   RELEASE FONT oFont, oBold

return nil
 

Same syntax is used for both normal text and rich text.

[nageswaragunupudi]

Display RichText in any rectangular area of a window/dialog/control, by using the same method oWnd:SayText( cRichText, aRect )

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

   oWnd:bPainted := <|hDC|
      local oRect := oWnd:GetCliAreaRect()
      oRect += { 60, 60, -60, -60 }
      oWnd:SayText( cRtf, oRect:aRect )
      oRect += { -20, -20, 20, 20 }
      oWnd:Box( oRect:nTop, oRect:nLeft, oRect:nBottom, oRect:nRight )
      return nil

Excelente!!! Muy buen aporte!
Felicitaciones!

[TimStone]

I will greatly appreciate this capability.

Will this also work automatically in PREVIEW mode ?

Do we have an ETA for the next version ?

Thanks so much for all the effort on this capability.

Could you also bring in the justification of the paragraphs?

Richtext allows formatting paragraphs with justification.

From the next version it is possible to split across pages.

[Detlef]

That's great news.
Many thanks for this excellent development.

[nageswaragunupudi]

We were able to split normal text across pages. From ver 22.06, it is possible to split rich text also with the same syntax.

Sample:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "fivewin.ch"

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

function Main()

   local oPrn, oLarg, oFont, oPen, nLastRow
   local cNotes   := HB_MEMOREAD( "c:\fwh\samples\test.rtf" )

   PRINT oPrn PREVIEW

   DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-14 OF oPrn
   DEFINE FONT oLarg NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-40 BOLD OF oPrn
   DEFINE PEN oPen WIDTH 1 OF oPrn

   PAGE

      oPrn:Box( 0.9, 0.9, 7.6, 7.1, oPen, nil, ;
         { "MAIN" + CRLF + "REPORT", oLarg }, ;
         "INCHES" )

      oPrn:Say( 7.9, 1.00, "Notes: ( Normal Text or Rich Text )", ;
         oFont, 6.0, nil, nil, nil, "INCHES" )

      @ 8.5, 1.0 PRINT TO oPrn TEXT @cNotes SIZE 6.0, 1.5 INCHES ;
         LASTROW nLastRow

      oPrn:Box( 8.40, 0.90, nLastRow + 0.1, 7.10, oPen, nil, nil, "INCHES" )

   ENDPAGE

   do while .not. Empty( cNotes )

      PAGE

      @ 1.0, 1.0 PRINT TO oPrn TEXT @cNotes SIZE 6.0, 9.0 INCHES ;
         LASTROW nLastRow

      oPrn:Box( 0.90, 0.90, nLastRow + 0.1, 7.10, oPen, nil, nil, "INCHES" )

      ENDPAGE

   enddo

   ENDPRINT

   RELEASE FONT oFont, oLarg
   RELEASE PEN oPen

return nil

Excelente aporte Mr. Rao. Creo que con esto se pueden generar y combinar para hacer reportes personalizados de alta calidad!

Aprovecho para consultarle sobre algo que se consultó en este hilo:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=41905&start=15
Hay alguna posibilidad que al leer un archivo .rtf también se pueda traer el encabezado y pie de página?
Desde ya muchas gracias

Need some time please.
