Extending SalRTFDocumentInsert

Post by Acclaro » 29 Jun 2014, 11:10

Missing a function to insert RTF-formated text from a (bind-) variable.
with the current function "SalRTFDocumentInsert", which only works with Files, we
1. load the RTF-text from the database
2. save it to a temp file
3. use "SalRTFDocumentInsert" to insert into the RTF-Control

I would prefer a function with Paramtetern because it makes the source code much easier as an additional function.
A future extension would only require another type and not another function

bOk = SalRTFDocumentInsert(hWnd, sFileOrVariable, bOverwrite, nType )

nType = 0, from file (sFileOrVariable defines the file)
nType = 1, from variable (sFileOrVariable defines the variable)

As an example I would like to mention the 17 existing SalDateXXX functions of
SalDateCurrent to SalDateYearBegin these could be replaced by 2 functions and an additional parameter,
first function return date d = SalDate(..., Type)
second function return number n= SalDatePart(..., Type)
this would also speed up the training for beginners in my opinion, because the scope of functions would be clearer (less is more)

thanks in advance

We also do this using this long way round creating temp files. It's annoying.
