Hello,
I try to add a bullet in front of a text Using the following code:
TMSFNCRichEditor1.AddBullet(btArrow);
TMSFNCRichEditor1.AddText(temp, TAlphaColorRec.Black, TAlphaColorRec.Lightgrey);
Unfortunately I do not get any bullet displayed. Am I doing something wrong here?
Kind regards
Gernot
A bullet is internally more than just a bullet element, it is bullet series start marker & bullet series end marker.
To insert bullets for some specific part of the text, following code demonstrates how to do this:
begin
TMSFNCRicheditor1.AddText('Line 1');
TMSFNCRicheditor1.AddLineBreak;
TMSFNCRicheditor1.AddText('Line 2');
TMSFNCRicheditor1.SelectAll;
TMSFNCRicheditor1.SetSelectionBullets(btCircle);
end;
This inserts bullets before the 2 selected lines (and internally adds the bullet series start & end marker too)
That still leaves me with the question how to set a bullet directly before adding the text. Would that always require a selection? That is not clear from the documentation.
One small addition: when using the FNCRichEdit together with TMSFNCRichEditorPDFIO the bullet getssaved to the PDF while it is not displayed
The selection facilitates inserting the proper bullet start marker & bullet end marker as well.
You could do this programmatically but is more complex, i.e. create a TBulletStart element and add it via: TMSFNCRichEditor1.Context.Content.Add(), then insert the TBulletElement element, then the text and finally also close with a TBulletEnd element and add it the same way.
Wrt bullet export to PDF, I have retested this here, but could not see an issue:
