QUESTION:
I created a RichEdit object in my view and would like to display some formatted text in it as soon as the view is loaded. I know I could use "set value" if I was adding just plain text, but what can I use in order to show the formatted text? I tried augmenting the procedure "Activate" but no text was displayed...
ANSWER:
You will need to augment the Page procedure. In the example below, we add some text in Bold to the control:
Procedure Page Boolean bPageObject
Forward Send Page bPageObject
If (bPageObject) Begin
Send delete_data
Send AppendText "This is an example. "
Set pbBold to True
Send AppendTextLn "You should add this to the Page procedure. "
Set pbBold to False
Send AppendTextLn ""
Send AppendTextLn "When you start your view, this text will be displayed."
End
End_Procedure // Page
