I Posted the new version tonight. Remember the new "TabIncrementalValue"
prop's value must be expressed in TWIPS(1440 TWIPS PER INCH).

wrote in message So all you need right now is the ability to set the Tab stop amount?
I can add that prop tomorrow as I am almost done with the next
release
and was planning on posting the new version Sunday anyhow.
Let me know.

I'm not honestly sure given the complexity of an RTF control. My
needs
are
rather simplistic, actually. I have SQL statements that are nicely
formatted
using tab characters. All I need is a control that allows me to
display this
text with CrLfs and Tabs displayed correctly as well as the
ability to
specify a tab size (3 chars in my case).
I went through some pains to get this working correctly using the
old
MS-RTF
control in Access before realizing that they dropped it in later
versions of
Access - very nice<g>
In looking around the 'net I came across many references to your
control. I
downloaded it and installed it and noticed immediately that it
didn't
have
the SelTabCount and SelTabs methods and moved on. I have been
stuck on
this
for a few days now and it is troubling me quite a bit. However, if
your
control is set to reasonable tabs of .25 inches, I can probably
work
with
that (although .2 would have been better for me, but now I'm being
picky<g>)
So I am currently working with your control and trying to get it
to
display
this text with tabs, let the user edit the text (no formatting
other
than
Tabs/CRs) and save the non-RTF version of the text back to the
table.
Any
further pointers would be very much appreciated. When I'm done
with
this
utility and finish my book (on Oracle, *not* Access<g>, but it
contains this
Access utility), I will definitely give you props in the forward.
Thanks again,

wrote in message It's definately on my list of props to add to the control. I
think
right
now I hardcoded the incremental tabstops at .25 inches.
When I first looked at this issue the problem was how to allow
the
end
user to easily pass an array of specific TAB stop values. It's
easy
to
add a property to allow the user to specify a single
incrementing
value
or to add a Dialog to allow the user to specify the TAB stop
values
in.
The problem was to allow this prop to be set programmatically
from
VB.
What's the exact functionality you think should exist?

I agree with all your points and commend you on your control.
And I was wondering if there is any possibility in the world
that
you
might
add the ability to change the tab sizes in the control at any
point?
The .SelTabCount and .SelTabs attributes in the old MS RTF
control
handled
this - very poorly, but they handled it. I am terribly
desperated
for
this
functionality.
Any help would be appreciated

The control is free because I think it is ridiculous that:
1) Microsoft does not include their control with every
install
of
Access
2) The Microsoft control does not work in Print Preview
3) The FMS RTC control is too expensive

You were so helpfull, I just don't know how to thank you!
I down loaded it to my PC, installed it and pluged it
right on form from the tools bars list of activex
controls.
I don't thought why I got it free. Is it beacause its a
trial version? Anyhow, thankyou again, I appreciate it!
Robert!

Hi Robert,
Many programs on your PC use ActiveX controls. That is
why you will see
quite a list.
This does not mean that you're licensed to use all of
them in your own
programs.
It seems that the MS Rich Text Box Control comes with
VB, not Access.
However, check this out to see if you can use it:

Hi there,
I am trying to find a control that I can pickoff from
the
access toolbar list (by clicking on the icon with the
hammer and the 3 little dots when a form is in design
view) where the control's functionality can act like a
memo field but has a built in functionality such as
bolding, underlining.... some of the text, just like a
word processor. I don't know if this exists?
I tried a few activex controls from this list, but some
are not what I am looking for, some give me the
following
error message "You don't have the licence required to
use
this activex control" and some totaly confuse me
because
nothing happens when I try them.
Someone told me that this control does exist,
apparently
it is the same control that is used in Visual Basic,
but
this does not really tell me how I can plug it in my
form
or if I need to have VB installed in my machine so I
can
get to see it in the Access toolbar list.
Also someone told me that there are several third party
softwares that sell this type of control for a whopping
350$ US. [*Quite a price to pay so I can bold a word
in a
memo field!*]. Also why is it that I get that error
when
I try to put certain controls on my form "You don't
have
the licence required to use this activex control", If
this means that they all are controls that we must buy
at
+/-350$ a pop, at this rate I don't know if I like
Access
anymore.
Can some PLEASE help me clear this up once and for all!
Thanking you all in advance!
Robert.
