Hi,
I'm using Stephen Lebans RTF control in an unbound Access 2000 form.
To populate the control I simply set the RTFtext property to the value
of the memo field in the database containing the RTF text. When my
form opens I get a very unhelpful message that tells me: Property is
read only. However, the RTF control is populated correctly and each
record has data. I believe this is an issue with how Access puts the
control onto the form because I tried the same thing on a pure Visual
Basic 6 form and did not have this issue. Has anyone experienced this
problem? The field must remain unbound to facilitate functionality I
have built in and maintain the ability to move to an ADP.
On another note, when using this control in my report (bound this
time) I find that if the RTF text can't fit completely on one page the
control won't split and span multiple pages, instead it will leave
gaping blank spots where it won't fit. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much,
Cameron Laird

Perhaps you are trying to write to the property before the control is
fully instantiated onto the Form. What event are you using?

You were right, I was trying to populate the control too early. I moved
the call to my population function to the Activate event and the error
went away.
Thanks alot,
Cameron

I'm using the Form Open even to query the table in my database. This
Event calls a function that I have written to populate the fields after
the recordset has returned. Should I be using another event? Or is
there a better way to set the text of the RTF control on an unbound
form, I simply set the RTFText property to whatever I want it to be.
Thanks,
Cameron

The Activate event is not the correct choice. Use the Form's Load event.

I'm using Stephen Lebans' RTF2 control in a report, and have discovered what
may be a slight bug in it.
I have a lot of non-Western language (Chinese) text in my RTF field, and
such records get sized strangely using the .RTFHeight property of the
control. Specifically, lines of text get cut off the bottom of the control
when I use the code provided in the sample report on the lebans.com site. It
seems that when there is Chinese text,...

Stephen,
I think I figured out the problem. I was able to get Check Boxes and Option
Buttons to work on my form by TURNING OFF RECORD SELECTORS on the form. Not
sure why this would make a difference. Perhaps Access attributes the hWnd
of the form to the Record Selector if these are turned on.
In any case, I ran some tests on your Customers form and sure enough, a
Check Box or Option Button will work fine until you turn on Record...

I now need to try to output one of Stephen Lebans' RTF2 controls on the

the Word doc and that is fine although I have not done this in VB, rather
used ^C and ^V

Short of inserting code similar to that shown below
in the OnGotFocus event property for each and
every control on the form, is there a form-level
event I could monitor firing similar code. I don't
want to sprinkle code all over the form if I can
do what I want in a single place.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
