I am using a TWPBulletDlg.
I add a new bullet format to TWPBulletDlg and close the editor.
I reopen and the format is lost.
How can I make this format stay?
How can I add formats that the users can see when first opening the dialog?
How can I set a new default bullet for all users?
Hi,
>> How can I make this format stay?
The bullet is a property of the text. If you save the text in RTF format the bullet is saved to it.
>> How can I add formats that the users can see when first opening the dialog?
You can do this in code - preferably in the OnClear event.
WPRichText1.NumberStyles.AddNumberStyle(
wp_1, // wp_bullet, wp_circle,
// wp_1, wp_lg_i, wp_i, wp_lg_a, wp_a,
Before1.Text,
After1.Text,
'', // Font, important for bullets
ind, // default indent
0, // Fontsize or default
false, // = legal numbering
0, // group, 1 for outline numbering
0 // level in group 1..10
)>>How can I set a new default bullet for all users?
Such as in a global document template? I would say it is best to load the NumberStyles from a stream in OnClear.
The release has a new format option usable for the WPT format:
'WPT-AllNumberstyles'
thgis makes sure all number styles are save to and loaded from a stream. So you can also use WPRichText.SaveToStream to create a document template.

The adding of new bullets is working.
But the setting of a new bullet to be the one that is first inserted when the bullet button on the tool bar is pressed is still a problem.
I need this to work for every new document. The users want a standard bullet across the business. I was hoping that
rtEdit.NumberStyles.SelectedStyle := rtEdit.NumberStyles.Items[1];
would work after loading the new bullent in the OnClear event. Is there something like this?
We are not using a global document template. I am not sure what this means, and was unable to find a reference to it in your pdf guide "WPToolsUpgrade.pdf".
So in summary - can I change (in code) the bullet inserted when the bullets tool bar button is clicked for the first time in a new document?
Is there an answer to the last line of my previous posting?

Hi,

It just means a document which is loaded when the user selects "new document" from your menu. Nothing WPTools specific.

I showed you some code which creates thoes bullets dynamically. Using a document which is loaded and contains those bulltes is the other options.

OK.
I have added this code to the OnClear event.
rtEdit.NumberStyles.Clear; rtEdit.NumberStyles.AddNumberStyle( wp_bullet, #183, '', 'Symbol', // Font, important for bullets 750, // default indent 0, // Fontsize or default false, // = legal numbering 0, // group, 1 for outline numbering 0 // level in group 1..10 );When I open the bullets dialog I see just the new bullet - this is good.
But when I use the tool bar bullets button the bullet inserted into the document is the old one - this is bad.
I need the new bullet to be inserted by default - the users do not want to have to use the bullet dialog to change formats.
I tried to do this in the OnClear event
But this did not change the bullet inserted into the document.
How can I change the bullet format first used by default in code?
Hello !
I have the same problem. Pressing the bullet-toolbutton create a new NumberStyle (the bad one) und use it.
Hi,

The default bullet action (you can define your own!) creates abullet style which uses the values from this global variables:
BulletChar := #108;
BulletIndent := 360;
BulletFont := 'Wingdings';
You can assign different values and use them instead.

Works perfekt :D
Thx
