Hi again,
i have:
a TDBWPRichText
a TWPMMDataProvider connected to the TDBWPRichText
when i set the TWPMMDataProvider.DataSource, the DataSet of the TDBWPRichText goes into edit-mode. How do i prevent this from happening? I want to change between showing the fieldnames and showing the merged data without going into editmode.
greetings,
Wolfgang
Hi,
Don't use a DBWPRichText in this case.
Simply use a TWPRichText and in the OnScroll event of the TDataSet do a
WPRichText1.AsString := SomeField.AsString.
You can also set Readonly to true.

Thanks Julian,
i thought of doing it this way but i want to avoid another big wp-component ;-)
what do you think of this solution:
when creating the components i set
WPMMDataProvider.AutoLoadData := False;before switching between fields and merged data i do:
WPMMDataProvider.AutoLoadData := (DataSource.DataSet.State in [dsEdit, dsInsert]);meaning that when the user edited something or went into edit-mode with the navigator, he will see correct merged data.
Would this be nonsense in your wp-perspective or is it a legal use of your component?
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
Hi,
If I understand correctly YOu can do this correctly. But You will need do issue a MergeText('') in the DataSet StateChange event.
Of course the DB and DataProvider way is "legal" - but on the other hand the code required to do it "manuall" is so little and easy, that I woulkd rather add the required event handler.
