RTF Source from RichEdit Control?

[UKChris]

I'm trying to figure out if I can get RTF Text from a Rich Edit Control. If I put the control on screen I can paste into it nice formatted text and it displays fine.

However, if I copy the RichEdit1.Lines to a Memo1.Lines it all appears as plain text, what I'm looking for is text with RTF markup codes in it, for want of a better term "Raw RTF". Any ideas how I might get that?

Chris.

TMemo only handles plain text. If you copy (ctrl/C) some rich text from another source (say MSword) and paste it (ctrl/V) into TMemo it will be plain. Paste it into TRichEdit and it will retain its formatting.

You could save the text from the richedit control to a file, and then load that file into the memo. It should display the formatting then.


rtfMemo.Lines.Savetofile('filename.rtf');
memo.lines.LoadFromFile('filename.rtf');


That should do it...
