Hello, can anybody tell me where I find a description for the RTF ocx ? I would like to extend the sample for example to select and set colors

Are you talking about XbpRtf() ?

XbpRtf() Source is in c:\ALASKA\XPPW32\SOURCE\SYS\axctrls.prg

Roger, Jimmy,
thank you, generaly I want to know whats possible with the RTF control, I took a look at Alaskas axctrl.prg and xbprtf() class, here I found some things I can use. I have to gather strokes from my digital pen & paper system and create from free text a RTF document with colors, paragraphs, underline etc. Now I try to figure out if it is possible to insert a image. I have to handle also signatures in the RTF for example. Or has anyone a better idea than xbprtf() ? Maybe a ActiveX control for not too expenisve price ? I now also TXCONTROL, some users in the german forum use them, but seems to perfect but expensive.
regards
Rudolf

I don't think that XbpRtf() will satisfy your needs.

I really don't have any advice for you.
I know that TxControl is popular.
I believe that Tom Liehr uses it.

remember it is only a Wrapper for RICHTX32.OCX

if you look into Source (Hex Editor) you will see RTF "Code". when using WordPad.EXE you can insert a Image !

Hello,
thank you all, I think if it comes to the project I will take TXCONTROL, seems to be worth the money.
