Hi Stan I just use the richedit copy and paste functions.
use RE1 sellength to select required text on RE1 then use copytoclipboard. Now paste clipboard data into RE2 I use this for generating barcode data using fonts drawn into rich edit. The select richedit contents and copy to the clipboard. Now pasting clipboard data into any richedit based control will produce the required data including formatting. Hope this helps regards Neil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stan" <drst...@gmail.com> To: <delphi@elists.org> Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 06:03:53 -0700 Subject: RichEdit - copying formatted text from/to > Hello, > > I want to copy some lines from one RichEdit to another, say, lines > 2-4 of RE1 into (empty) RE2. > Using RE2.Lines.Add(RE1.Lines[3]) only copies the text, not the formatting. > How can I copy text and formatting of selected lines? > > The larger issue: > > I want to display any of a dozen sets of information (rich edit > text), depending upon which button is clicked.
