Singer Guest Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2004 8:39 pm    Post subject: richedit codes Is it possible to format text in a RichEdit box other than the standard formatting like bold, etc. In particular super- and sub-scripting. I can paste such text into a RichEdit box, but can't seem to find code to set super- or sub-scripting.

Quote: I can paste such text into a RichEdit box, but can't seem to find code to set super- or sub-scripting. Have you tried searching the web? Most likely not because I found it in less than 5 minutes.

If you're not going to help, don't respond. In response to the original question, yes it is possible to super- and sub-script text with a rich edit control, but it is not built into the rich edit control interface provided by Borland (as far as I know). Here is a link to MS's RTF spec: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnrtfspec/html/rtfspec.asp Here is MS's documentation on the RE control: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/richedit/richeditcontrols.asp The RE documentation is really what you want to read, the RTF spec is just nice as a kind of background info for the RE control. I'll leave the code as a study for you to do, but to point you in the right direction, you want to send an EM_SETCHARFORMAT message to the control, along with a pointer to a CHARFORMAT2 structure that contains the formating options you wish to set. Use the CFM_SUPERSCRIPT or CFM_SUBSCRIPT flags for the dwMask member of CHARFORMAT2 and you should be good to go. There are tons of options with a RE control that are not included in Borland's implementation and they are not hard to figure out. Just do a little experimentation and you'll love it :) Back to top JD Guest Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2004 5:54 am    Post subject: Re: richedit codes "James Cammarata" <jimi (AT) sngx (DOT) net> wrote: Quote: I freaking hate responses like that. If you're not going to help, don't respond. Since the answer was so easily found, either the OP didn't know how to find the answer himself OR he was too lazy to do it. Either way, spoon-feeding him WAS NOT the answer. I stand by my post. BTW : you need to read the guidlines for using this group as demonstrated by your post. ~ JD Back to top James Cammarata Guest Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2004 7:21 am    Post subject: Re: richedit codes Quote: Since the answer was so easily found, either the OP didn't know how to find the answer himself ... ^ this is exactly why people ask for help, they cannot find the answer themselves. I don't expect everyone to be masters of Google. I do apologize for my tone earlier, I was in a pissy mood. I also appreciate your help on my question (got me 90% in the direction I'm trying to go), but I stand by my post too. The answer was not that easily found for me (took 3-4 days of searching and reading all those docs + experimenting with code), and I would have appreciated a poke in the right direction to save me some search time. Like I said, I apologize, I'm not trying to start a flame war or troll or anything, so this will be my last post on the subject.
