Examples

Here we show how to access the embedded editor. The variable edhwnd is the window handle of the editor. It is returned by the method fkt_wptextCreateDialog. Please see Initialization of the editor in C++

Load the file c:\test.rtf into the editor. We use the command WPDLL_COM_TEXT_LOADFILE (See c++ header)

SendMessage(edhwnd, 1042, WPDLL_COM_TEXT_LOADFILE,(int)((char *)"c:\\TEST.RTF"));

Select the language for the toolbar and dialogs:

SendMessage(edhwnd, 1042, WPSYS_SETLANGUAGE , (int)((char *)"DE")); // Select DE = German

Switch the tooltips on

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_EDCOMMAND, WPSYS_SETSHOWHINT, 1);

Set the initial text and image directory

SendMessage(edhwnd, 1042, WPDLL_COM_INITIALDIR, (int)((char *)"c:\\temp"));

SendMessage(edhwnd, 1042, WPDLL_COM_INITIALGRAPHICDIR, (int)((char *)"c:\\temp"));

Retrieve and display the current directory

SendMessage(edhwnd, 1042, WPDLL_COM_INITIALDIR, 0);

int len;

char *p;

len = SendMessage(edhwnd,1042,WPDLL_DATA_GETSTRING, 0);

p = (char *)malloc(len);

SendMessage(edhwnd,1042,WPDLL_DATA_GETSTRING, (int)p);

MessageBoxA(0, p, "", 0); 

free(p, len);

Show the file open dialog and display the file name of the loaded file in the caption

// Load file

SendMessage(edhwnd, 1051, (int)((char *)"diaOpen"), 0);

// Display file name

SendMessage(edhwnd, 1042, WPDLL_COM_LASTFILENAME, 0);

int len;

char buf[256];

len = SendMessage(edhwnd,1042,WPDLL_DATA_GETSTRINGW, 0);

if(len<256)

{

    SendMessage(edhwnd,1042,WPDLL_DATA_GETSTRINGW, (int)buf);

   SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, (int)&buf[0] );

}

Initialize the editor to use a page size of DinA 4 with margins of 1.5 cm:

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_WIDTH, (int)(21/2.54*1440)); // 21cm converted in twips

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_HEIGHT, (int)(29.7/2.54*1440)); // 29.7cm converted in twips

int margin = (int)(1.5/2.54*1440); // 1.5cm converted in twips

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_LEFT_MARGIN, margin);

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_TOP_MARGIN, margin);

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_RIGHT_MARGIN, margin);

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_BOTTOM_MARGIN, margin);

Display the non-printable area (0.5 cm on all sides).

Please see Memo.TextCommand(24) for other draw modes.

//Display frames to show not printable area

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_DRAW_MODE, 4); // Draw the frames

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_LINE_MODE, 2); // Draw lines

int offset = (int)(0.5/2.54*1440); // 1.5cm converted in twips

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_LINEOFFSET_LEFT, offset);

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_LINEOFFSET_TOP, offset);

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_LINEOFFSET_RIGHT, offset);

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGE_LINEOFFSET_BOTTOM, offset);

Set a certain fixed page count. The editor should always display 8 pages. Please also see Memo.TextCommand(24).

// Fix the page count

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGES_MINCOUNT, 4); // minimum 4 pages

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGES_MAXCOUNT, 8); // maximum 8 pages

Please note, that a second editor can show the same text with a different count of pages.

For example the thumbnail view will display less then 4 pages unless You use the code:

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED2_PAGES_MINCOUNT, 4); // minimum 4 pages

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED2_PAGES_MAXCOUNT, 8); // maximum 8 pages

It is also possible to force the page count to be dividable by 4:

SendMessage(edhwnd, WMP_SETIPROP, WIPR_ED1_PAGES_MULTIPLICATOR, 4);
