Hi Guys, Well here's my answer (thanks to an anonymous monk on perlmonks for pointing me to the C++ code). Any comments welcome as always:
$HTMLHandler->LoadFile has continued to resist my attempts to make it work. $XMLHandler->LoadFile will work like this: my $XML_handler = Wx::RichTextXMLHandler->new; my $RTC_Buffer = $self->{rich_text_ctrl_1}->GetBuffer(); $RTC_Buffer ->AddHandler($XML_handler); $self->{rich_text_ctrl_1}->LoadFile("output.xml"); The line: $RTC_Buffer ->AddHandler($XML_handler); being the new ingedient in the equation. Thanks and regards Steve
