Insert RichText (RTF) in FreeText Annot
Copy & paste from WordPad into a FreeText / Text Box annot works through the UI and I want to do the same from code.
Playing with the sample found in IPXC_Page::InsertNewAnnot I can easily insert plain text, but trying to set an RTF string ({rtf1\ansi...) using the RichContent of the IPXC_AnnotData_FreeText doesn't do much.
Any suggestions?

Re: Insert RichText (RTF) in FreeText Annot
Currently you cannot just put the RTF-text directly to the RichContent. Its required to convert it to the XFA Rich Text Format before (XML based format).
Probably in the future we will add feature for converting from RTF to XFA RTF..

Would it be possible to put the RTF in the clipboard and then invoke a paste command, as it is working through the UI.

Re: Insert RichText (RTF) in FreeText Annot
Technically - yes. But you must have activated TextEditor control in UI for corresponding text-annotation before executing the Paste command.
I'm not sure that it is what you want..

Re: Insert RichText (RTF) in FreeText Annot
It's basically what I want. Which brings up another question.
I want the user to place a Text Box on the Page though the UI and as it's placed on the page and before the user starts typing I want to inject a default string (In Rich Format). Looking at the events i see that e.annots.inserted is raised as the text box looses focus after it is inserted. This is too late as the user would then have started typing. I do not want to inject my text into just any text box as the editor gets actived (e.document.textEditor.started) but only when the textbox is a new text box.

Hi, Espens.
We will improve some moments with text-editor notifications by providing additional info with such events.
Also we'll provide detailed information about this improvement a bit later, please wait..
Cheers.

Re: Insert RichText (RTF) in FreeText Annot
Any updates to text box events?
I'm trying to add a feature that inserts a custom text into a textbox when a text box is placed on a page.
Would also want to see this for form fields.

Hello espens,
I checked with a colleague from the European dev office, but they say that this will need Vasyl's attention, and he is in Canada, so I will ask him to post an update as soon as he can!

Stefan

Hi Espens.
When it is ready (should be by next week) - we will notify you and you will be able to try it using our technical builds.
Cheers.
Sorry for delay with that. In next couple days we will add new features that will provide full access to our text-edit control.Any updates to text box events?

Hello espens,
We've updated the code. Now you can change the TextBox text when inserting by using this code:
You can do that by using the latest DevBuild available here:
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 66&t=25943
Also, an example on how to get\set the RTF\XFA for the FreeText annotation:
Cheers,

Code: Select all
if (e.nEventID == nIDS[(int)IDS.e_document_textEditor_started])
{
IntPtr outPtr = new IntPtr(e.pEvent.Param1);
PDFXEdit.IPXV_TextEditor tEdit = (PDFXEdit.IPXV_TextEditor)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(outPtr);
tEdit.EditCtl.AppendText("Test Text");
//RichText
//tEdit.EditCtl.SetRichText(); //This one uses IStream as an input - check out the IStreamWrapper in the FullDemo
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 66&t=25943
Also, an example on how to get\set the RTF\XFA for the FreeText annotation:
Code: Select all
PDFXEdit.IOperation op = pdfCtl.Inst.CreateOp(pdfCtl.Inst.Str2ID("op.annot.setData"));
PDFXEdit.IPXC_Document cdoc = pdfCtl.Doc.CoreDoc;
PDFXEdit.IPXC_Page pg = cdoc.Pages[0];
uint cnt = pg.GetAnnotsCount();
for (uint i = 0; i < cnt; i++)
{
PDFXEdit.IPXC_Annotation a = pg.GetAnnot(i);
if (a.IsMarkup)
{
PDFXEdit.IPXC_AnnotData_Markup ad = (PDFXEdit.IPXC_AnnotData_Markup)a.Data;
string rc = ad.RichContent;
string rtf = pxcInst.ConvertRC2RTF(cdoc, rc, "", (int)PDFXEdit.PXC_ConvertRCFlags.PXC_ConvertRC_AnnotText);
ad.RichContent = pxcInst.ConvertRTF2RC(cdoc, rtf, (int)PDFXEdit.PXC_ConvertRCFlags.PXC_ConvertRC_AnnotText);
PDFXEdit.ICabNode pr = op.Params.Root;
pr["Input"].Clear();
pr["Input"].Add().v = a;
pr["Options.NewData"].v = ad;
op.Do(0);
}
}
