This is continuation from my previous thread(which I would've replied under but not sure if it would be looked at again considering I didn't show signs of needing any more help).

Anyway the following doesn't work and freezes and takes place in OnChange. In OnKeyPress I insert an image named bold if ctrl+b is found.

Code: Select all

  CursorPos := RVGetLinearCaretPos( CommandEdit );

  I := 0;
  while I < CommandEdit.ItemCount - 1 do
  begin

    EndItemNo := -1;
    EndItemOffs := -1;

    if CommandEdit.GetItem( I ) is TRVGraphicItemInfo then
    begin

      if CommandEdit.GetItemText( I ) = 'Bold' then
      begin
        StartItemNo := I;
        StartItemOffs := CommandEdit.GetOffsAfterItem( StartItemNo );

        Inc( I );

        while I < CommandEdit.ItemCount - 1 do
        begin
          if CommandEdit.GetItem( I ) is TRVGraphicItemInfo then
          begin

            if CommandEdit.GetItemText( I ) = 'Bold' then
            begin
              EndItemNo := I;
              EndItemOffs := CommandEdit.GetOffsBeforeItem( EndItemNo );

              CommandEdit.SetSelectionBounds( StartItemNo, StartItemOffs, EndItemNo, EndItemOffs );

              Break;
            end;
          end;
          Inc( I );
        end;

        if ( EndItemNo = -1 ) and ( EndItemOffs = -1 ) then
        begin

          EndItemNo := CommandEdit.ItemCount - 1;
          EndItemOffs := CommandEdit.GetOffsBeforeItem( EndItemNo );

          Caption := Format('%d %d %d %d',[ StartItemNo, StartItemOffs, EndItemNo, EndItemOffs]);

          CommandEdit.SetSelectionBounds( StartItemNo, StartItemOffs, EndItemNo, EndItemOffs );
          CommandEdit.ApplyTextStyle( 1 );
        end;

      end;
    end;
    Inc( I );
  end;

  RVSetLinearCaretPos( CommandEdit, CursorPos );
  CommandEdit.Invalidate;

Sorry I insert named Bold not bold, just incase that would've came across your mind.

Bumping it up to top.

It seems that this code is correct, but ApplyTextStyle generates OnChange itself, so this procedure can be called infinitely until your program runs out of stack.

Add a variable to the form:

Code: Select all

Working: Boolean;

in OnChange:

Code: Select all

if Working then
  exit;
Working := True;
try
  <your code here>
finally
  Working := False;
end;

Ok this helped with freezing but I can still see the cursor show up for a second after the image also the code I pasted didn't make it bold for me.

When you tested it, did it make it bold for you?

I did not tested, I just read this code in browser.
Your code makes the text bold by the command
CommandEdit.ApplyTextStyle( 1 );
Does RVStyle1.TextStyles[1].Style have fsBold included (I assume that CommandEdit.Style = RVStyle1). If you do not have a fixed set of styles, it's better to use ApplyStyleConversion+OnStyleConversion instead of ApplyTextStyle (one example of using them is shown in http://www.trichview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57)

For improving efficiency:
1) Check, may be the text between these images is already bold, so you do not need to reapply it.
2) Call SendMessage(CommandEdit.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, 0, 0) before, and SendMessage(CommandEdit.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, 1, 0); CommandEdit.Invalidate after your code (for even more efficiency, call it only if you really changed document)
