There are two main classes
CRTFBuilder responsible for all RTF building
CRichEditCtrlEx, which simply derives from CRichEditCtrl and adds a few methods
RTFBuilder starts off with 1 font and 4 colors:
Arial,
Black,
Red,
Green
Blue
Methods:
| black, red, blue, green | turns text to the specified color |
| color | Takes a COLORREF and turns the text that color |
| font | Changes the font. Takes a font name as a string |
| size | Takes an integer as the font size |
| bold(bool) | Turns text bold |
| italic(bool) | italic |
| underline(bool) | underline |
| strike(bool) | strike through |
| normal | turns off the above 4 settings |
| push | pushes the current settings on it’s own stack |
| pull | pulls the last settings from the stack |
| write | Takes a CRichEditCtrl as a parameter and writes to that control. Can also use the ‘>>’ operator (see example) |
RichEditCtrlEx simply derives fron CRichEditCtrl and adds a few methods
enable(bool)
disable(bool)
It also overrides PreSubclassWindow to turn the background color to that
of the dialog(button) color to give the appearance of a simple lable and
sets the control to read only.
The export declarations in the ‘RichEd’ header make it possible to compile RichEditCtrlEx.cpp in either
a library of MFC extension DLL.
The ‘RichEd’ project is the library and the ‘test’ project is an example dialog based exe project.
To get going, simply compile and run.
