The RichEdit is a text component used for
input as well as output. The RichEdit can be found under Win32 on the
component palette.
To add a line to a RichEdit the following
line of coding can be used:
RichEdit1.Lines.Add('Name' +
#9 + 'Surname')
Take note of the #9 that refers to a tab.
Other properties can be set as follows:
| RichEdit1.Paragraph.Numbering := nsBullet; |
Adding bullets |
| RichEdit1.Paragraph.Numbering := nsNone; |
Remove bullets |
| RichEdit1.Paragraph.Alignment := taLeftJustify; |
Left aligned |
| RichEdit1.Paragraph.Alignment := taRightJustify; |
Right aligned |
| RichEdit1.Paragraph.Alignment := taCenter; |
Center aligned |
| RichEdit1.Paragraph.FirstIndent := 10; |
First
indentation in pixels from the left (here 10 for example) |
A RichEdit can be cleared by using RichEdit1.Clear; for example.
Tabs can also be used to
list items exactly underneath each other. For this purpose the amount of
tabs must be set and then the width be specified. For example:
RichEdit1.Paragraph.TabCount :=
2;
RichEdit1.Paragraph.Tab[0] := 100;
RichEdit1.Paragraph.Tab[1] := 200;
RichEdit1.Lines.Add('Column A' + #9 + 'Column B' + #9 +'Column C')
Text written in a RichEdit can also be save
directly into an RTF (Rich Text Format) file using the SaveToFile
procedure. Files can also be opened using the LoadFromFile procedure. For
example:
RichEdit1.Lines.SaveToFile('test.rtf');
RichEdit1.Lines.LoadFromFile('test.rtf');
