Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the response. However I had read that thread and I must be
missing something or have a problem with my system.
Running Rob's example on 15th 12:08, I get the following error:
unread escape \d passed through at line27
unread escape \s passed through at line27
and the text in the Richedit control is showing most of the RTF
formatting. Pushing the button then just upsets the computer.
Running Rob's second example on 17th 11:09, I get the text as intended
when the Win32::GUI window loads, and pushing the button gives the
following:
|A: A These, ?, \x{0131}, are not exactly the letter i \x{263A} |<<48)
I'm obviously missing something, but am not sure how this helps my
original question.
Cheers
Chris
