Pls provide more extensive sample code for RichTextBox

Thanks for providing the RichTextBox as part of the latest release of Dfl.

I would appreciate a more elaborate example of using this control. I suppose I am being lazy and should figure it out myself, but you are the expert and there is something to be said for having source code showing the correct way of doing things.<g>

Can your RichTextBox do the following? (and, if so, please provide an example)

Superscript, letters in black, letters in red, italics, multiline, bold, bold inside of italic, and selection highlighting. Such as.

Superscript goes here Then the developers said,"DFL is wonderful" and proceeded to astonish the world with the app they developed.

Also, I will doing Search within text, and want to highlight the found text. If you have the time, can your example also show the capability of highlighting perhaps the 10th thru 30th letters ... which spans the different font sizes.

Thanks very much. Your DFL library was the last thing I was waiting on to proceed with an application. Full speed ahead <g>

Works great. You're good <g>

Would you like to submit this as a DFL tutorial? ... I could do that if it would save you time, but you should be the acknowledged author.

If it helps, here is some information about superscript, but several links are more related to Visual Basic and dot.net

More Win32 Api related?

Again, if it would help, I've still got a fair number of "legacy points" from ExpertsExchange, which used to be VERY helpful getting technical questions answered. I suppose I could also look around inside wxWidgets and/or the MFC source code to see how that code accomplishes superscript.

Or you may already know how to do superscript ...

Sorry, somehow I didn't see those last 2 messages until now.

Today's snapshot supports subscript and superscript, http://www.dprogramming.com/dfl/snapshots/ - see the charformat example, also available at http://www.dprogramming.com/dfl/charformat.html .

Wow! ... Tabs ... I'll give them a try.

And thanks also for the Rtf superscript!

Hi!

Could you please explain how to align text which is in at least 2 columns?
I used the code for aligning I had for console version of the app, but unlike in console, where fonts are differently displayed, this code doesn't work too well.
I would like to have the data in the second column aligned under the first datum (Dan Brown). So it would look more like a table.
How do I achieve this?

Or you could try making an actual table using RTF: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnrtfspec/html/rtfspec.asp - here's some example code in ASP: http://www.devx.com/asp/Article/17964/1763/page/3 - RTF can be set in DFL using the rtf or selectedRtf properties.
Would be cool to have code that generated RTF tables based on some set properties.
