Creating tables in GuiRichEdit

[AndreyS]

In GuiRichEdit you can copy and paste from the buffer table.
How can you create from the code? I do not find any such function in Help.
Tell me, please, who knows how to do it?

[AndreyS]

Nobody encountered such a problem and there is no thought how to solve it?

This is not such easy, as nobody before do this in AutoIt (as far as I know).
Here are some reference/usefull link to use:

And here are some attempts:

richTextBox1.SelectedText = "hehehe";
String table = @"\trowd\trgaph108\trleft-108\trbrdrl\brdrs\brdrw10 \trbrdrt\brdrs\brdrw10 \trbrdrr\brdrs\brdrw10 \trbrdrb\brdrs\brdrw10 \trpaddl108\trpaddr108\trpaddfl3\trpaddfr3\clbrdrl\brdrw10\brdrs\clbrdrt\brdrw10\brdrs\clbrdrr\brdrw10\brdrs\clbrdrb\brdrw10\brdrs \cellx2844\clbrdrl\brdrw10\brdrs\clbrdrt\brdrw10\brdrs\clbrdrr\brdrw10\brdrs\clbrdrb\brdrw10\brdrs \cellx5796\clbrdrl\brdrw10\brdrs\clbrdrt\brdrw10\brdrs\clbrdrr\brdrw10\brdrs\clbrdrb\brdrw10\brdrs \cellx8748\pard\intbl\ltrpar\nowidctlpar\f1 \cell\row";
richTextBox1.Rtf = richTextBox1.Rtf.Replace("hehehe", table);

Many thanks, mLipok!
For participation and a large number of links!
Yes, I think it is worth trying to read the contents of a file into a variable in which there is a table and try to insert the desired text to the right place.

But if the added features in AutoIt to create tables in the RichEdit - it would be great!

I'm not AutoIt DLL guru, but here is modest begining:

expandcollapse popup

Global Const $EM_GETTABLEPARMS = $__RICHEDITCONSTANT_WM_USER + 265
Global Const $EM_INSERTTABLE = $__RICHEDITCONSTANT_WM_USER + 232
Global Const $EM_SETTABLEPARMS = $__RICHEDITCONSTANT_WM_USER + 307

Global Const $tagTABLEROWPARMS = _
        "byte cbRow;" & _
        "byte cbCell;" & _
        "byte cCell;" & _
        "byte cRow;" & _
        "long dxCellMargin;" & _
        "long dxIndent;" & _
        "long dyHeight;" & _
        "dword nAlignment:3;" & _
        "dword fRTL:1;" & _
        "dword fKeep:1;" & _
        "dword fKeepFollow:1;" & _
        "dword fWrap:1;" & _
        "dword fIdentCells:1;" & _
        "long cpStartRow;" & _

        ""

        "short dxBrdrLeft;" & _
        "short dyBrdrTop;" & _

        "short dyBrdrBottom;" & _
        "dword crBrdrLeft;" & _

        ""


#cs
    it seams that COLORREF should be used like dword

    Look in
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/pl-pl/library/windows/desktop/ms646830(v=vs.85).aspx
    and:
    _ChooseColor()
    To check how is used:
    dword rgbResult;


#CE

 

Maybe some other forum member could push this feature
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh768373(v=vs.85).aspx

...forward....

We assume that the beginning of the development of missing functions already!  Thank you!
Me down to your level is still very far, but it is very necessary to use the table.
