Great, that sounds likt it should work. Thanks Sergey

Well, while painting line numbers in the rve directly looked good and was easiest to do, changing the rve left margin was just too squirrely. I went with a panel that I subclassed to expose its canvas and added an onpaint method. This worked as well.

If you want to override default settings of RVAControlPanel, make your changes in rvActionNew.OnNew event.

Sergey, yes, that worked. I'm working on switching my line number code from a component to code that paints directly to the rve canvas (I had to widen the leftmargin to do it). I've got it ...

Thanks Sergey, I'll try that.

Sergey,

Looks like it's not the presence controlpanel. I put one in my small test app and it was fine. In my "real" app there's a lot of code and I had to fine the right place to put rve.LeftMargin := 85 and it's OK.

Just FYI.

Sergey,

I am trying to set a different left margin in a regular rve. I have to have a controlpanel for other things, but the defaultmargin is stomping all over my leftmargin setting. I've tried all this and nothing works, all I get is whatever the defaultmargin is set to:

rveControlPanel ...

Try 2 right-aligned tabs. First one with the leader (...) and second blank one. Play with the positioning and you might be able to make it work.

Sergey may have a better idea, but here's mine.

I'm not entirely sure what all the vars are that are in play, but maybe change this:

for i:=maxIndex downto minIndex do begin //JGK was CurItem+reader.ItemCount-ItemCount+1 do begin
// Double-check bounds before accessing
if (i < 0) or (i ...

Sergey,

I'm trying to run a windows app using wine on linux mint. The text in any paragraph would not wordwrap correctly.

I tried assigning RVStyle.TextEngine = rvteWindows, and yes, that fixes it. The usp10.dll exists in my wine windows system32 folder so not sure why it doesn't work as is.

I ...

You might check that i <> -1, and i <= reader.itemcount-1.

Stan

Sergey,

Is there something I need to do to get a regular rve to wordwrap when run in linux wine? I'm using linux mint 21.2 in a virtualbox VM. Could the VM or its settings be the issue?

Thanks

Stan

Sergey,

There's a win11 setting called "Always Show Scrollbars." If this is turned off (the default for win11 I think), the scrollbar thumbs show up when you mouse over the scrollbar. If it's on, the thumbs are always visible.

The rve scrollbars do not seem to respond to this setting and seem to ...

I use the TrvActionIndentDec (action for "Decrease Indent" command) and TrvActionIndentInc (action for "Increase Indent" command) actions. I have those assigned to some toolbar buttons.

I also put this into the rveKeyPress event so I can select some text and move it in or out using tab/shift+tab ...

Sergey, I think he means this:

Only thing I can think of is check the run-time rve RTFOptions and make sure they match the rve RTFOptions that works.
