RichEdit-->quick 1

[larcrik]

I need some help with a RichEdit component.
I want to copy some lines from one RichEdit box to another RichEdit box, and I just don't seem to find the write code.
I want it to be something like this:

for(int i=0;i<14;i++)
RichEdit1->Lines= RichEdit2->Lines
...something like this. Can anyone help me pls?
Thanks.

Look up the documentation on TStrings - that's what the Lines property is. Think of it as a vector - you can't just assign to the vector, you have to work with it.

Try something like this:

for(int i=0;i<14;i++)
RichEdit1->Lines->Append(RichEdit2->Lines)

or if you want more control over the position of the lines:

for(int i=14;i>0;i--)
RichEdit1->Lines->Insert(5, RichEdit2->Lines)

There's also AddStrings and a bunch of other handy things too.

Thank you. I'm a new user of Cbuilder and I'm not really familiar with the programm. The code does not work because Append and Insert need AnsiString and RichEdit->Lines returns a TString. That's my dilema. I just can't make it work. So if you could just take a look on that I'd really apreciate it.
Thanks.

Off the top of my head, maybe you ought to try

RichEdit1->Lines->Append(RichEdit2->Lines->Strings[i])

or something similar.

Thank you for the tips 2ffat. I've finished my project with your help. The code worked just fine.
Thanks.
