Multiple RTF controls each with its own bar

[hua]

How to code multiple RTF controls on a dialog with each having its own bar?

TIA

I don't know if I understood your problem correctly
Do you mean that you can customize the buttonbar of each RICHEDIT control?
Please put the code of the program in the image above to be able to work on it.

Dear Hua,

If I properly understood you, you have to do the following:

1. use "RichEdi5.ch" instead of "RichEdit.ch"

2. Do the REDEFINEs this way:

REDEFINE RICHEDIT5 ::hoGets["edu_1"] VAR ::hGets["edu_1"] ID 301 OF ::oFolder:aDialogs[1] BARBUTTON

Please notice the use of RICHEDIT5 and BARBUTTON

3. Finally to keep visible the buttonbars all the time do this:

Code: Select all  Expand view

      ACTIVATE DIALOG ::oDlg CENTERED ;
          ON INIT ( o:hoTitles[ "edu_1" ]:AddText( 15, 20, "First",,,,, oFont3 ),;
                    o:hoGets["edu_1"]:oBar:Move( 0, 0 ), o:hoGets["edu_1"]:oBar:Show(), o:hoGets["edu_1"]:lBar := .F., .T. )

4. There is a problem in the Class as the ButtonBar can't be visible all the time or the user will overwrite the bar, so better don't use this:
o:hoGets["edu_1"]:oBar:Show(), o:hoGets["edu_1"]:lBar := .F.

5. You can hide the bar when the user types doing:
o:hoGets["edu_1"]:bKeyDown = { || o:hoGets["edu_1"]:oBar:Hide() }
to show the buttonbar again, the user must move the mouse over the top of the richedit

Thanks Antonio
When I implemented the TRichEdt5 class, and added the option to have a buttonbar included in the control, the idea was also to have the possibility that the user could define his own buttonbar.
To do this, it is simple:
1.- Add the DATA bBuildBar to the class

Code: Select all  Expand view

   DATA   bBuildBar
 

2.- Change in the New method

Code: Select all  Expand view

   ::bBuildBar  := { || BuildRichEditBar( Self, Self, , , .T. ) }
   if ::lBar
      ::oBar := XEval( ::bBuildBar, ::oWnd, Self ) // BuildRichEditBar( Self, Self, , , .T. )
      //::oTop := ::oBar
      ::oBar:Hide()
   endif
 

3.- Change in the Redefine method

Code: Select all  Expand view

   ::bBuildBar  := { || BuildRichEditBar( Self, Self, , , .T. ) }
   if ::lBar
      ::bInit := { || ::oBar := XEval( ::bBuildBar, ::oWnd, Self ), ::oBar:Hide() }
   endif

There 2 goals I would like to achieve with regards to the RTF control:
1. To have each oRtf have its own buttonbar
2. Each oRtf supports all the basic shortcut keys common in Windows when doing editing such as Ctrl+B for Bold, Ctrl-I for Italic, Ctrl-C for Copy, Ctrl-V for Paste, etc.

Below is the requested source.

Dear Hua,

If I properly understood you, you have to do the following:

1. use "RichEdi5.ch" instead of "RichEdit.ch"

...

Thanks for the reply Antonio.
I managed to change to use RTF5 but when I add the clause BUTTONBAR I get an error when compiling
I was using FWH1912 if that helps.

TIA
