First I want to thanks to RoyGlanfield for : Printing RichEdit A long time ago I was wondering how to print RTF files in the background. I just used to use this solution: ShellExecuteWait($sRTF_FileFullPath, '', '', 'print') Unfortunately, it is slow and is not done, in the background. A few days ago I was looking for a solution through google. I found a solution at home and exactly here. I modified it a little, and behold, here it is: #include-once #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7 #Tidy_Parameters=/sort_funcs /reel #Region RTF PRINTER Include# #include <GuiRichEdit.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <SendMessage.au3> #include <Array.au3> #EndRegion RTF PRINTER Include# #Region RTF PRINTER HEADER# ; #INDEX# ======================================================================================================================= ; Title .........: UDF for Printing RTF files ; AutoIt Version : 3.3.10.2++ ; Language ......: English ; Description ...: UDF for Printing RTF files ; Author(s) .....: mLipok, RoyGlanfield ; Modified ......: ; =============================================================================================================================== #cs Title: UDF for Printing RTF files Filename: RTF_Printer.au3 Description: UDF for Printing RTF files Author: RoyGlanfield, mLipok Modified: Last Update: 2014/06/15 Requirements: AutoIt 3.3.10.2 or higher http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/127580-printing-richedit/ http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/161831-rtf-printer-printing-richedit/ Update History: =================================================== 2014/06/04 v0.1 First official version 2014/06/04 v0.2 * Global Variable renaming by adding $__ * extended $__API_RTF_Printer * new function: _RTF_SetMargins($vMarginLeft = 1, $vMarginTop = 1, $vMarginRight = 1, $vMarginBottom = 1) * new function: _RTF_SetNumberOfCopies($iNumberOfCopies = 1) * added #Region RTF PRINTER initialization# * CleanUp * added #forceref * added #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7 2014/06/12 v0.3 * Global Variable Renaming add 'RTF' to variable names and added $__ to be sure that no one else used the name * Global Variable renaming $aPageInfo to $__aRTFPageInfo to be sure that no one else used the name * variable renaming $hInput* to $iCtrlInput* * in _RTF_PrintFile() new parameter $fAddIndex * Setting RTF_Printer Window Title * fix problem with printing more than 16 RTF files >> GUIDelete($__API_RTF_Printer[$__hRTF_Gui]) * new internal function __RTF_AddLeadingZeros * added some more comments * brand new RTF_Printer_Examples.au3 2014/06/15 v0.4 * $sRTF_FileFullPath_or_Stream - A string value.

Hi, For an internal project I want to write internal script to mail some special request to an external party. To make it a little bit universal I decided that the user should be able to write or edit the e-mail signature. Because I wanted to put a logo into the e-mail, I decided to use RichEdit. I I found the following code by @UEZ and adapted it a little to save and load. When I start the script and edit the text only, I can save and load the signature.rtf. However the moment I resize one of the images (with the mouse), the script wil only save the edited image. Somehow resizing an image deletes the other content of the RichEdit object. Does anyone know a solution for me? P.s. you need to delete signature.rtf to reset the file. #include <GDIPlus.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiRichEdit.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Example() Func Example() Local $hGui, $iMsg, $idBtnExit, $hRichEdit $hGui = GUICreate("Example (" & StringTrimRight(@ScriptName, StringLen(".exe")) & ")", 520, 550, -1, -1) $hRichEdit = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hGui, "", 10, 10, 500, 490, BitOR($ES_MULTILINE, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL)) $idBtnExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 10, 510, 40, 30) $GoodRead = False If FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\signature.rtf") Then $ResSFF = _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamFromFile($hRichEdit, @ScriptDir & "\signature.rtf") If $ResSFF=true then $GoodRead = True EndIf If $GoodRead=False Then _GUICtrlRichEdit_InsertText($hRichEdit, "Inserting image..." & @LF & @LF) _GUICtrlRichEdit_InsertText($hRichEdit, @LF & "JPG image scaled:" & @LF & @LF) _GUICtrlRichEdit_InsertBitmap($hRichEdit, "c:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\mslogo.jpg", "\qc", "\picw6747\pich1058\picwgoal6690\pichgoal1860\") ;\qc = centered _GUICtrlRichEdit_InsertText($hRichEdit, @LF & @LF & "PNG image:" & @LF & @LF) _GUICtrlRichEdit_InsertBitmap($hRichEdit, "c:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\Torus.png") _GUICtrlRichEdit_InsertText($hRichEdit, @LF & @LF & "Done.")

Here: https://github.com/nachbar/TRichViewToPdfUsingDebenu/blob/master/Unit1.cpp I found a code in C++ for file format conversion from RTF to PDF with using Debenu QuickPDF. I know how to use Debenu QuickPDF in AutoIt . My question is about RTF part of this code: HDC hdcNew = debenu->GetCanvasDC( RTFPRINTINGDOTSPERINCH * RTFPAGEWIDTHININCHES, RTFPRINTINGDOTSPERINCH * RTFPAGEHEIGHTININCHES); canvas = new TCanvas; canvas->Handle = hdcNew; RVReportHelper1->DrawPage( PageCounter, canvas, true, RTFPRINTINGDOTSPERINCH * RTFPAGEHEIGHTININCHES); // LastPageHeight); First there is hdcNew declaration , and this is not the problem. My problem is in converting the following code snippet, to AutoIt canvas = new TCanvas; canvas->Handle = hdcNew; RVReportHelper1->DrawPage( PageCounter, canvas, true, RTFPRINTINGDOTSPERINCH * RTFPAGEHEIGHTININCHES); // LastPageHeight); If you remember, I created RTFPrinter sometime ago. But it was some time ago , and created by trial and error, rather than in-depth analysis. Also, it was just a modification of another script, not my own work from scratch. So now I'm looking for help how to adapt this code snippet to AutoIt. Any tips ? Regards, mLIpok

I am seeing a weird result when pasting some lines from the forum into WordPad, even while using Paste Special > Unformatted Text ... Example: copy the reply from the first post here: Go to WordPad and Paste Special > Unformatted Text (Ctrl + Alt + v) Result is two fonts instead of one "unformatted" (I took out the blank lines): If you analyze the .rtf code, it has this font command in it: {\f1\fnil\fcharset134 SimSun;}} (1) Why is that there, or how can it even get through Paste Special? Is it really there, or is it a one-in-a-million text combo that triggers WordPad formatting? (2) Speaking in general, if you would run this through AutoIt, or you copied it with AutoIt, how would you prevent it? What could you filter out? Is this some kind of control code that can be filtered simply, or would you have to do a regex for these patterns? Thanks

When I stream richtedit content to a .rtf file and want to open it, word tells me the file is locked by another user (I guess it's my program). Now, if I close my program or open the file in read-only mode, the document is empty. Here's the code I used: $MyDocsFolder = "::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}" $where = FileSaveDialog("Plan Speichern", $MyDocsFolder,"Rich Text Files (*.rtf)", 2) If StringInStr($where,".rtf") Then _FileCreate($where) $infile = _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamToFile($Edit1, $where) Else $where = $where & ".rtf" _FileCreate($where) $infile = _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamToFile($Edit1, $where) EndIf Why is the document locked and has no content?
