Hi there,

i was wondering if there's a possibility to link a rtf-textbox directly to a database field in which the rtf data is saved in binary or is there just the way of converting the text in an additional layer?
Kind of property of the textbox would be great for a future release, if it's not implemented yet.

Sincerely,

Hello,

Please use property DataColumn of RichText box component.

Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply,

I tried that, but it does probably only work in text format, not in binary.

Small Example:

It does work if it looks like this:
{\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Myriad Web;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Arial;}}..{\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;}..{\*\generator Riched20 5.50.99.2010;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\cf1\f0\fs18\lang2055 Besten Dank f\'fcr Ihre Anfrage vom 7.April 2008.

I'd like to make it work if it looks like this:

(BLOB in the Database)

If you have a binary data inside of your DataColumn instead of serialized in string Rtf text, than you should first of all convert it into String and then pass to the StiRichText component.
These actions should be done in GetValueEvent of the RichText component:

Thank you.

alright, thought so... so just in case there are more questions like this, it might be a feature to add binaryrtf-support just by setting the appropriate property. i've seen it a couple of times in conjunction with the ms access rtfcontrol.

thanks for your time.

Hello,

We can add support of rtf binary format, but we need specification or any other document which describe this format. We can't find something.

Thank you.
