TadvRichEditor - formatting problems

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack
1

Hello there ,
I am trying to use TDBAdvRicheditor but i have alot of problems with it.
When i am trying to paste or open from file .rtf documents written in wordpad, it messes up format,
sometimes changes font in certain parts of documents, changes font size and so on,
here are examples, the same file

1. Original wordpad:

1024×624 80.3 KB


"Vanilla" TRichEdit Shipped with Rad Studio (kind of OK, after setting margins pretty good) :
1024×623 129 KB


And finally TAdvRichEdit ( The whole formatting is messed up, hard to set up page properly) :
1024×629 213 KB


How to fix this ?
It's compiled on Win 7 Professional with C++ Builder XE6 but also on RAD studio 10.2 ( tadvrichedit Demo project) and it shows weird results on win7, win8, and win10 as well.

kind regards

  1. Can you please provide the problematic RTF code you try to paste in the TDBAdvRichEditor so that we can inspect this here?

    2) We're investigating a solution for this. In the mean time, please add the unit AdvToolBarRes to the uses list for the unit where you want to use the control and create the control via code.

Sure, here You are:

I've created "mini editor" for internal use with application i am working on, to
make it independent from MS Word , it demands .rtf files or direct editing
but my testers just used documents previously written in MS word and saved as .rtf
(various agreements and other documents allready present at their accounting office).
As You can see, effects are really bad.
Also when i use TDBAdvRichEdit, when i FIRST time save larger document as the one i linked,
it takes lot of time to process it ( on I7 4790k Processor and 16 Gigs of ram it takes up to minute).
Every other time when i open it and load/save from/to DB it's instant.

We support at this moment not all possible MS Word features as MS Word adds a lot of custom RTF tags. We've opened the docoument with Wordpad and see that also Wordpad fails to load this document.
We will investigate this what (within reasonability) we can do to improve the import of this document.
