Preview the content in Richtextbox

[Johnweida]

Hi,
Is there a better way to preview the content in a richtextbox before printing ?

Your question is somewhat unclear, John. "Better way to preview the content" suggests that "common way to preview the content" exists.

Could you please elaborate on what content and what common way of previewing you mean?

Regards,

Ilya

If it is an actual Microsoft Word RTF document, you can create a temporary cursor with a general field, put the document in the general field using APPEND GENERAL, and on your report use a oleboundcontrol to show the document.

Another way to preview an RTF or Word doc is to add an ActiveX control to a form, select 'Create from file' and check the 'Link' option.

Find the required file and then 'Save as Class' the ActiveX control with the name of 'oleDocument' to a class library.

In some suitable event/method on your form put :

WITH THISFORM
[tab].AddObject([oleDocument],[oleDocument])
[tab].oleDocument.DoVerb()
[tab].RemoveObject([oleDocument])
ENDW

Bingo - a Word/RTF viewer!
