Example: Print a page number

In this example we insert a text object and create a class item to print a page number:

 

1) Insert the text object

 

procedure TForm1.bMyPageNrClick(Sender: TObject);

begin

  WPRichText1.InputTextFieldName('MYPAGE','','---');

end;

 

We create a text object with the name 'MYPAGE'. The Source property is '' and the Params property, which will be printed by default will be '---'.

 

Without any event handling we will see --- inplace of this object.

 

2) Create a TWPTextObjectClasses object

3) Connect the TWPRichText to this component using the property WPTextObjectClasses

4) Add a new item to the classes collection

The item should be used for all TWPTextObj with the name "MYPAGE".

 

5) We add an event handler for OnObjectCassGetText

 

clip0006

 

procedure TForm1.WPTextObjectClasses1Items2ObjectClassGetText(

 Sender: TWPCustomRTFControl; Memo: TWPRTFEngineBasis;

 CallMode: TWPMeasureObjectMode; ObjClass: TWPTextObjectClass;

 TextObj: TWPTextObj; var Text: WideString; PaintingPage: TWPVirtPage;

var Handled: Boolean);

begin

if PaintingPage=nil then

      Text := IntToStr( TWPCustomRTFedit(Sender).PageCount) // Reserve space

else Text := IntToStr(PaintingPage.PageNr);       // Paint

end;

 

 

This event handler needs to work also when PaintingPage = nil - in this case it was called during reformat and initialization of the text.

 

 

 

Note: Fortunately it is not required to always implement this code just to print a page number. The text objects with the name "PAGE" will do it automatically.
