"For Mac builds, it would be EditField2.SetTextAndStyle EditField1.Text,
EditField1.TextStyleData." Charles Yeomans
So Win doesn't have that option?
Here is where I'm falling down:
I have a function that takes an editfield (or a string it's overloaded), a
tag, and a dictionary. So it used to look like this and work just fine:
s=jp.TagReplace(s,"<<(.*)>>",FieldValues)
S is a textstring that is obtained from a text document and that might look
like this "<<firstname>> is a student at <<schoolname>> that began
<<grade>>" etc. The dictionary has fields and values. After running
through my TagReplace Function I get back a real nice string that has all
the values inserted ::pats himself on the back::
Now I'm passing an editfield... The original idea was that wouldn't have to
deal with all that styled nonsense directly. The editfield is getting the
same kind of string but from an rtf. Anyway it seems that I can only get
back either the text or the style data unless I run it through the function
twice (or return an ADT that has a couple of properties). So now I'm
staring at this:
StyleField.text=jp.TagReplace(StyleField,"<<(.*)>>",FieldValues).text
And wondering how to proceed... I don't see a single method that will give
me the style and the text in one fell swoop (I would have thought that
something called styledtext would do this - but no joy on that count).
Could someone set me straight? I think I'm missing something really
fundamental because this seems doable without all the code gymnastics that I
keep seeing as possible solutions.
Thanks,
