    When printing Rich Textbox text it seems to disregard the Current X/Y command.  What gives>

    By justify im assuming you meen Right, Left and Center. You need to use the


    Code:
    object.SelAlignment


    and one of the following;



    1. vbLeftJustify
    2. vbRightJustify
    3. vbCenter



    for example;


    RichTextBox1.SelAlignment = vbCenter


    or


    RichTextBox1.SelAlignment = vbLeftJustify


    Hope thats some help;

    What I want is to present the text in a justified manner.
    Not left, right or center.


    Justified as in MS Word. ie, both left and right ends are aligned.

    Hello KillerSheep,


    Is this what you're looking for:


    '@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
    Option Explicit


    Public Const WMUSER = &H400
    Private Const EM    SETTARGETDEVICE = (WM_USER + 72)


    Public Declare Function SendMessageLong Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal LParam As Long) As Long


    Public Enum ViewModes
       Default = 0
       WordWrap = 1
       WYSIWYG = 2
    End Enum


    Const EMFORMATRANGE As Long = WMUSER + 57


    '** Set View Mode
    Public Sub SetViewMode(ByVal ViewMode As ViewModes)
       Select Case ViewMode 'Set View Mode
           Case 0 'No Wrap
               SendMessageLong rtfText.hWnd, EMSETTARGETDEVICE, 0, 1
           Case 1 'Word Wrap
               SendMessageLong rtfText.hWnd, EM    SETTARGETDEVICE, 0, 0
           Case 2 'WYSIWYG
               On Error Resume Next
               SendMessageLong rtfText.hWnd, EM_SETTARGETDEVICE, Printer.hdc, Printer.Width
      End Select
    End Sub


    '@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    K, first off. Right away you mension:


    Object.Save (FilePath, FileType)


    WHAT FILETYPES? Can it save in RTF, Text, and what are the corresponding numbers?????????????


    Secondly, I am sure that in EVERY rich text editor I have ever used, you can set different indents for different paragraphs. Yet you do not mension how to align a paragraph... "is just like setting the alignment for a whole textbox."


    Aside from that it was pretty good, but can't you also do Horizontal Rules in Rich Text? I know no-one normally does, but if ya can . . .


    Thanks for the info though, I was always confused about the select stuff.

    Actually in the subscribe fo not use * because * 0 is 0 and will not have any effect. It is better to use +200 (approximetly) to have the result you want...

    0 = rtf
    1 = text

    Hi,


    I am having problems in sending selected text to a rich text box control without selecting the text at runtime e.g. at runtime the rich text box contains the text "Selection" and when a command button is pressed the following text in BOLD is appended to the current text "IS EASY"


    Selection IS EASY

    Try the following code as work around:


    ' flag the section with bullet mark
    rtfSectionText.SelBullet = True


    ' replace bullet with numbers
    rtfSectionText.SelRTF = Replace(rtfSectionText.SelRTF, "\pnlvlblt", "\pndec", 1, -1, vbTextCompare)


    I found som rtf documentation on the Microsoft site:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnrtfspec/html/rtfspec_16.asp


    Hope it helps
