Stored procedures
Changes or lists the attributes of the text currently selected in an RTF control (found in a window or in a WINDEV report). This function can also be used on a character string containing text in RTF format.
Remark: In a window, the text can be selected by the user or through programming with Cursor and CursorEnd.
Example
// Switches the selection to Arial
RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfFontName, "Arial")
// Switches the size of the font to 12
RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfFontSize, 12)
// Makes the selection bold
RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfBold, True)
// Modifies the color of the selection
RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfColor, RGB(134, 345, 255))
// If the selection contains different values
IF RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfBold) = "" THEN
// Switch everything to bold
RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfBold, True)
ELSE
// Reverse the status
bBold is boolean = RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfBold)
RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfBold, NOT bBold)
END
// Switch all the occurrences of "WINDEV" to red and underlined
I is int
I = RTFSearch(EDT_Edit1, "WINDEV")
WHILE I > 0
// Switch to red
RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfColor, LightRed, I, 6)
// Switch to underlined
RTFSelection(EDT_Edit1, rtfUnderlined, True, I, 6)
// Find the next occurrence of "WINDEV"
I = RTFSearch(EDT_Edit1, "WINDEV", rtfCaseSensitive, I + 1)
END
// Transform an RTF text
MyText is string
MyRTFText is string
MyText = "Unformatted text coming from a WLanguage character string"
MyRTFText = RTFSelection(MyText, rtfBold, True, 1, Length(MyText))
EDT_RTFInput = MyRTFText
Syntax

Selection in an RTF control Hide the details

<Result> = RTFSelection(<RTF control> , <Attribute> [, <New value> [, <Start> [, <Size>]]])

Remarks

Table column

RTFSelection allows you to change the selection of the active cell. No other cell can be modified.
The following code triggers an error:
RTFSelection({ControlCurrent()}[TableSelect(TABLE_Table1)], rtfColor, LightGray)
The following code must be used:
RTFSelection({ControlCurrent()}, rtfColor, LightGray)

rtfColor attribute

The rtfColor attribute can return or receive the DefaultColor value: the color of the text depends on the color parameters defined in the control panel of Windows.
Component: wd280obj.dll
