Remarks

A "rich edit control" is a window in which the user can enter and edit text. The text can be assigned character and paragraph formatting, and can include embedded OLE objects. Rich edit controls provide a programming interface for formatting text. However, an application must implement any user interface components necessary to make formatting operations available to the user.

CRichEditView maintains the text and formatting characteristic of text. CRichEditDoc maintains the list of OLE client items which are in the view. CRichEditCntrItem provides container-side access to the OLE client item.

This Windows Common control (and therefore the CRichEditCtrl and related classes) is available only to programs running under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT versions 3.51 and later.

For an example of using a rich edit view in an MFC application, see the WORDPAD sample application.

    if (!(cf.dwMask & CFM_UNDERLINE) || !(cf.dwEffects & CFE_UNDERLINE))
        cf.dwEffects = CFE_UNDERLINE;
    else
        cf.dwEffects = 0;

    cf.dwMask = CFM_UNDERLINE;
    SetCharFormat(cf);
}

CRichEditView::GetClipboardData

The framework calls this function as part of the processing of IRichEditOleCallback::GetClipboardData.

virtual HRESULT GetClipboardData(
    CHARRANGE* lpchrg,  
    DWORD dwReco,  
    LPDATAOBJECT lpRichDataObj,  
    LPDATAOBJECT* lplpdataobj);

Parameters

lpchrg
Pointer to the CHARRANGE structure specifying the range of characters (and OLE items) to copy to the data object specified by lplpdataobj.

dwReco
Clipboard operation flag. Can be one of these values.

RECO_COPY Copy to the Clipboard.
RECO_CUT Cut to the Clipboard.
RECO_DRAG Drag operation (drag and drop).

CRichEditView::OnFindNext

Called by the framework when processing commands from the Find/Replace dialog box.

virtual void OnFindNext(
    LPCTSTR lpszFind,  
    BOOL bNext,  
    BOOL bCase,  
    BOOL bWord);

Parameters

lpszFind
The string to find.

bNext
The direction to search: TRUE indicates down; FALSE, up.

bCase
Indicates whether the search is to be case sensitive.

bWord
Indicates whether the search is to match whole words only or not.

Remarks

Call this function to find text within the CRichEditView. Override this function to alter search characteristics for your derived view class.

CRichEditView::OnInitialUpdate

Called by the framework after the view is first attached to the document, but before the view is initially displayed.

virtual void OnInitialUpdate();

Remarks

The default implementation of this function calls the CView::OnUpdate member function with no hint information (that is, using the default values of 0 for the lHint parameter and NULL for the pHint parameter). Override this function to perform any one-time initialization that requires information about the document. For example, if your application has fixed-sized documents, you can use this function to initialize a view's scrolling limits based on the document size. If your application supports variable-sized documents, use OnUpdate to update the scrolling limits every time the document changes.

Example

See the example for CRichEditView::m_nWordWrap.

}

CRichEditView::OnPrinterChanged

Override this function to change characteristics for this rich edit view when the printer changes.

virtual void OnPrinterChanged(const CDC& dcPrinter);

Parameters

dcPrinter
A CDC object for the new printer.

Remarks

The default implementation sets the paper size to the physical height and width for the output device (printer). If there is no device context associated with dcPrinter, the default implementation sets the paper size to 8.5 by 11 inches.

    long nIndexStart,  
    long nIndexStop,  
    BOOL bOutput);

Parameters

pDC
Pointer to a device context for the output area.

rectLayout
RECT or CRect which defines the output area.

nIndexStart
Zero-based index of the first character to be formatted.

nIndexStop
Zero-based index of the last character to be formatted.

bOutput
Indicates if the text should be rendered. If FALSE, the text is just measured.

Return Value

The index of the last character that fits in the output area plus one.

Remarks

Typically, this call is followed by a call to CRichEditCtrl::DisplayBand which generates the output.

Example

See the example for CRichEditView::GetPaperSize.

CRichEditView::PrintPage

Call this function to format a range of text in a rich edit control for the output device specified by pDC.

long PrintPage(
    CDC* pDC,  
    long nIndexStart,  
    long nIndexStop);

Parameters

pDC
Pointer to a device context for page output.

nIndexStart
Zero-based index of the first character to be formatted.

nIndexStop
Zero-based index of the last character to be formatted.

Return Value

The index of the last character that fits on the page plus one.

Remarks

The layout of each page is controlled by GetPageRect and GetPrintRect. Typically, this call is followed by a call to CRichEditCtrl::DisplayBand which generates the output.

Note that margins are relative to the physical page, not the logical page. Thus, margins of zero will often clip the text since many printers have unprintable areas on the page. To avoid clipping your text, you should call SetMargins and set reasonable margins before printing.

Pointer to the IDataObject to query.

lpcfFormat
Pointer to the acceptable data format.

dwReco
Not used.

bReally
Indicates if the paste operation should continue or not.

hMetaFile
A handle to the metafile used for drawing the item's icon.

Return Value

An HRESULT value reporting the success of the operation.

Remarks

Override this function to handle different organization of COM items in your derived document class. This is an advanced overridable.

For more information on HRESULT and IDataObject, see Structure of COM Error Codes and IDataObject, respectively, in the Windows SDK.

Example

// This code fragment is taken from the Wordpad sample.
HRESULT CMyRichEditView::QueryAcceptData(LPDATAOBJECT lpdataobj, 
   CLIPFORMAT* lpcfFormat, DWORD dwReco, BOOL bReally, HGLOBAL hMetaFile)
{
   if (bReally && *lpcfFormat == 0 && (m_nPasteType == 0))
   {
      COleDataObject dataobj;
      dataobj.Attach(lpdataobj, FALSE);
      if (!dataobj.IsDataAvailable(cfRTO)) // native avail, let 
                                           // richedit do as it wants
      {
         if (dataobj.IsDataAvailable(cfEmbeddedObject))
         {
            if (PasteNative(lpdataobj)) // See WordPad sample for info
                                        // on PasteNative
               return S_FALSE;
         }
      }
   }
   return CRichEditView::QueryAcceptData(lpdataobj, lpcfFormat, dwReco, 
      bReally, hMetaFile);
}

CRichEditView::SetCharFormat

Call this function to set the character formatting attributes for new text in this CRichEditView object.

void SetCharFormat(CHARFORMAT2 cf);

Parameters

cf
CHARFORMAT2 structure containing the new default character formatting attributes.

Remarks

Only the attributes specified by the dwMask member of cf are changed by this function.

For more information, see EM_SETCHARFORMAT message and CHARFORMAT2 structure in the Windows SDK.

Example

void CMyRichEditView::OnCharUnderline ()
{
    CHARFORMAT2 cf;
    cf = GetCharFormatSelection();

    if (!(cf.dwMask & CFM_UNDERLINE) || !(cf.dwEffects & CFE_UNDERLINE))
        cf.dwEffects = CFE_UNDERLINE;
    else
        cf.dwEffects = 0;

    cf.dwMask = CFM_UNDERLINE;
    SetCharFormat(cf);
}

CRichEditView::SetMargins

Call this function to set the printing margins for this rich edit view.

void SetMargins(const CRect& rectMargin);

Parameters

rectMargin
The new margin values for printing, measured in MM_TWIPS.

Remarks

If m_nWordWrap is WrapToTargetDevice, you should call WrapChanged after using this function to adjust printing characteristics.

Note that the margins used by PrintPage are relative to the physical page, not the logical page. Thus, margins of zero will often clip the text since many printers have unprintable areas on the page. To avoid clipping your text, you should call use SetMargins to set reasonable printer margins before printing.

Example

See the example for CRichEditView::GetPaperSize.

CRichEditView::SetPaperSize

Call this function to set the paper size for printing this rich edit view.

void SetPaperSize(CSize sizePaper);

Parameters

sizePaper
The new paper size values for printing, measured in MM_TWIPS.

Remarks

If m_nWordWrap is WrapToTargetDevice, you should call WrapChanged after using this function to adjust printing characteristics.

Example

BOOL CMyRichEditView::OnPreparePrinting(CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
   // Set the printing margins (720 twips = 1/2 inch).
   SetMargins(CRect(720, 720, 720, 720));

   // Change the paper orientation to landscape mode
   // See the example for CWinApp::GetPrinterDeviceDefaults
   ((CMyWinApp*)AfxGetApp())->SetLandscapeMode();

   // Change the paper size in the CRichEditView to 
   // reflect landscape mode
   CSize csPaper = GetPaperSize();
   int temp;
   temp = csPaper.cx; csPaper.cx = csPaper.cy; csPaper.cy = temp;
   SetPaperSize(csPaper);

   return DoPreparePrinting(pInfo);
}

CRichEditView::SetParaFormat

Call this function to set the paragraph formatting attributes for the current selection in this CRichEditView object.

BOOL SetParaFormat(PARAFORMAT2& pf);

Parameters

pf
PARAFORMAT2 structure containing the new default paragraph formatting attributes.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise, 0.

Remarks

Only the attributes specified by the dwMask member of pf are changed by this function.

For more information, see EM_SETPARAFORMAT message and PARAFORMAT2 structure in the Windows SDK.

Example

void CMyRichEditView::AddBullets() 
{
   PARAFORMAT2 pf;

   pf.cbSize = sizeof(PARAFORMAT2);
   pf.dwMask = PFM_NUMBERING | PFM_OFFSET;
   pf.wNumbering = PFN_BULLET;
   pf.dxOffset = 10;

   VERIFY(SetParaFormat(pf));
}

CRichEditView::TextNotFound

Call this function to reset the internal search state of the CRichEditView control after a failed call to FindText.

void TextNotFound(LPCTSTR lpszFind);

Parameters

lpszFind
Contains the text string that was not found.

Remarks

It is recommended that this method be called immediately after failed calls to FindText so that the internal search state of the control is properly reset.

The lpszFind parameter should include the same content as the string provided to FindText. After resetting the internal search state, this method will call the OnTextNotFound method with the provided search string.

Example

See the example for CRichEditView::FindText.

CRichEditView::WrapChanged

Call this function when the printing characteristics have changed ( SetMargins or SetPaperSize).

virtual void WrapChanged();

Remarks

Override this function to modify the way the rich edit view responds to changes in m_nWordWrap or the printing characteristics ( OnPrinterChanged).

Example

void CMyRichEditView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
   CRichEditView::OnInitialUpdate();

   // Turn on the horizontal scroll bar
   m_nWordWrap = WrapNone;
   WrapChanged();
}
