Remarks

You can use the RtfText property to import/export document content in the RTF format (ensure that support for the Rich Text Format (RTF) is enabled).

Internal Document Model and Import/Export Operations

Important

The TdxRichEditDocumentServer component does not work natively with documents in the RTF format. Instead, the component builds a document model in memory using an internal XML-like format. You can edit the current document directly using API members accessible through the Document property.

The RtfText property value’s read/write operations export/import document content. You can use the following properties to configure RTF export/import settings:

Options.Export.RtfProvides access to settings applied to exporting a document to the RTF file format.Options.Import.RtfProvides access to settings applied to importing rich text (RTF) documents into the Rich Edit control.

Enable Support for RTF Format

Support for the rich text format is initially disabled for the TdxRichEditDocumentServer component to avoid excessive dependencies.

Note

If support for the target format of an import/export operation is disabled, an exception occurs.

To enable support for the RTF format in your application, expand the Add Unit to Support menu item, and add all required dependencies at design time or in code.

At Design Time

Right-click a TdxRichEditDocumentServer component, check the Rich Text Format (RTF) option, and save your project to add all required dependencies automatically.

In Delphi Code

Add the dxRichEit.Rtf unit to the uses clause of the same unit where the TdxRichEditDocumentServer component is placed. If you build the project with runtime packages, add dxRichEditControlRtfFormatRS~ to the list of runtime packages.

In C++Builder Code

Add the following directives to the same source files where the TdxRichEditDocumentServer component is placed:

1. #include "dxRichEdit.Rtf.hpp" (to the target HPP file)
2. #pragma link "dxRichEdit.Rtf.hpp" (to the corresponding CPP file)

Other Document Import/Export Options

You can also use the following API members to import/export document content in different supported[1] formats:

DocBytesSpecifies document content as a byte array (in the Microsoft Word® 97 – 2003 binary format).HtmlTextSpecifies document content as a string (in the HTML format).OpenXmlBytesSpecifies document content as a byte array (in the Office OpenXML format).TextSpecifies document content (as a plain text string).LoadDocument | LoadDocumentTemplate | SaveDocumentExport/import document content to/from a file or stream in any supported format.

Footnotes

1. Ensure that support for all required document formats is enabled; otherwise, an exception occurs.
   Refer to corresponding API member descriptions for detailed information on support for different document formats.
