I have a simple problem that I cannot solve. I need to get a selected styledtext from a textarea and put in another textarea, but keeping all the style. The SelText wipes all the style. How should I do that ??

You need to make a new stylerun for each style and set the parameters accordingly. If you are just copying text then that's all you get .. the text. You also need to set the bold, underline, fontsize, fontname ... Dim myStyleRun as New StyleRun myStyleRun.Bold = TextArea1.SelBold and so forth ...or Bob's suggestion which I didn't know about Top aamato Post subject: Re: styled textPosted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 9:42 pm Joined: Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:12 pm Posts: 17 There are 3 different styles, normal, bold and italic. But I know sometimes bold is not set, thats because it is using a bold font... this font has bold in its name, so the style is not recognized as bold, just another font. Although TextArea.SetTextAndStyle. seems nice, one line of explanation in the manual was not enough to clarify me how could I do that. Jym, I will study your suggestion Thanks Top Jym Post subject: Re: styled textPosted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 9:53 pm Joined: Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:19 pm Posts: 2344 If all the text that is selected is the same i.e. abcdef bold, italic then you only need the one stylerun but if you have something like abcdefghi then you will need more than one stylerun Top aamato Post subject: Re: styled textPosted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 9:58 pm Joined: Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:12 pm Posts: 17 is it possible maybe to get only the selected text and convertit to RTF and then convert back to styled text in the new textarea ?
