Hi All,

I'm using a protect text style to insert mail merge fields into a TRichViewEdit.

The following code works perfectly...

LetterRichViewEdit->CurTextStyleNo = 1; //TextStyle modify protected
LetterRichViewEdit->InsertStringTag(myField, myField);

Now using manual code to apply say BOLD...

TSpeedButton*Button = (TSpeedButton*)Sender;
LetterRichViewEdit->ApplyStyleConversion(Button->Tag);

If I there is normal text either side of the protected field and I select the text and the protected text and then apply BOLD to it, the protected field changes to bold also ("perfect" that's what I want)

But then if I try using an ActionList to apply BOLD in the same way, the BOLD is only applied to the normal text either side and NOT to the protected field.

Since I want to use ActionList as its far quicker and easier, then how can I allow the protect field to also have its style changed (i.e bold, italic, underline, colours etc).

I can do this using manual code, but maybe there's a way for ActionList to get around this.

I did trying playing with the MailField Text Style Protection properties, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

As you can imagine, when a person is editing their mailmerge document, they want to be able to apply styles to all text including protected mail fields, so if I can do that using ActionList and some settings in the style protection properties then perfect, but does anyone know?

Thanks

I found that I did have the correct protection options setup, but I had the styles being loaded in from the TDBRichView and overwritting my changes to the Styles protection...

So all working now.
