RichEdit5 and auto-texts

[vilian]

Hi Guys,
Do you know if is possible to do auto-texts with this class ?

[Antonio Linares]

Dear Vilian,

What do you mean with auto-text ?

[vilian]

Antonio,
While the user is typing a text I would like to check the words inside a list and in case I find it, I would like to replace the word found for another text. Is it possible?

Dear Karinha,

Thank you, but I'm trying to do this with RICHEDIT 5, not with Word.

Sorry my friend, but I didn't understand how could it help me to do auto-texts with Richedit5 ?

[karinha]

Vilian, if you have the text in Rich, just shoot it into the Word corrector. Or is it no use?

Vilian, si tienes el texto en Rich, simplemente dispáralo en el corrector de Word. ¿O no sirve de nada?

Regards, saludos.

But the user doesn't have Word installed in your computer. Because this, I'm trying to do this trought Richedit5

Dear Vilian
Please test this sample
https://bitbucket.org/fivetech/fivewin- ... strtf7.prg

I hope you have understood what you are saying
I have built an initial example that still has some details that do not work correctly: for the word to be replaced, a space must be pressed at the end and it does not take into account that you press ENTER / RETURN without first pressing the space key, but I want to make sure that I have understood your problem well and help you focus your development based on this example

You will also probably have to modify the Keydown method of the TRichEdt5 class by adding the following:

Code: Select all  Expand view

METHOD KeyDown( nKey, nFlags ) CLASS TRichEdit5

.../...

   // Suggested by the user MaxP (Massimo): 11/22/2019, remove PostMsg
   //::PostMsg( FM_CHANGE )

   // Added by Cristobal Navarro
   if !::lReadOnly
      ::PostMsg( FM_CHANGE )
   endif

.../...

Return nil
 

At the beginning of the example there is an array with the words to search for and the value to replace.
I look forward to your comments
Regards

Dear Cristobal,
Thank you, your example does almost everything I needed. There is only a problem. I included in the array of words { "Action", "Ação" }, the first time this word is replaced, everything is fine. From the second ahead the word is staying like this:

Ação
Ação

Do you know why ?

Dear Vilina, please attach your sample

Hi, Cristobal !

When I try to download your example, I get the following message
"Error when establishing a secure connection"

I'm also very interested in the topic of auto-text. About 5 years ago I tried to do something like this for TGet/TMultiGet, but it was slow
