Setting color of richedit

Recommended Posts

I know how to select, set color, then deselect but I'm trying to get more of a Microsoft word style richedit.

In word you can Highlight and change color, it only changes color of highlighted text, or you can change the color and it changes the color the text after the caret position.

Just doing _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetCharColor($hRichEdit, $color) changes the color for all of the text in the richedit and I'm trying to avoid that.

Is this possible?

Which version of AutoIt you are using ?

in the current 3.3.14.2 you should first select text and then use  _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetCharColor($hRichEdit, $color)

I can use _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel($hRichEdit, $iAnchor, $iActive) to set that specific text but I'm trying to make it so that when I set the char color, all characters after the current point is the color and nothing in front of it is changed.

I'm trying to avoid checking the RichEdit control to see if the length has changed and selecting then changing the color

Well I guess I just needed a couple of hours of tinkering away and it and going back to one of my old projects.

The solution is to use _SendMessage

Local $tCharFormat = DllStructCreate($tagCHARFORMAT)
        
        DllStructSetData($tCharFormat, 1, DllStructGetSize($tCharFormat))
        DllStructSetData($tCharFormat, 2, $CFM_COLOR)
        DllStructSetData($tCharFormat, 6, _ColorSetCOLORREF(_ColorGetRGB("0x" & Hex($selected_color, 6))))
        
        _SendMessage($rtfEdit, $EM_SETCHARFORMAT, $SCF_SELECTION, DllStructGetPtr($tCharFormat))

And here's an example of how to use it.

#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <Color.au3>

Which version of AutoIt you are using ?

Since we're talking about rich edit...

Whenever I do _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamToFile or _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamFromFile (Idk which is doing it) it will append an extra line to the RichEdit. Any particular reason why? I'm not using any extra parameters other than the handle and the file

Make a repro snippet, to show what you mean.

btw.
Cool idea with this draging color palette.

Same example as the one above except I added

_GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamFromFile($rtfEdit, @ScriptDir & "\Edit.rtf")

Right after creating the RichEdit and

_GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamToFile($rtfEdit, @ScriptDir & "\Edit.rtf")

Right before deleting the GUI

Opening and closing it constantly adds an extra new line to the end. I don't know if it's coming from StreamFromFile or StreamToFile
