Automation support between C# and work processor

danielricci

Hi.

I am running the WPCubed Wordprocessor demo which holds a TWPRichText pane control. I am trying to get the text and the caret position within that control but it looks like there is no control that holds the actual text, usually this is within an edit control.

What would I do to be able to use Automation to be able to retrieve information from your control housed within the TWPRichText pane.

You can license a component which is like the Wordprocessor demo and implements a complete COM interface to read the cursor position and other properties.

This is the component TextDynamic.

I see no way to control the TWPRichText in that demo using any events and it does also not expose an interface.

I have a customer that is using a TWPRichText control within their application.

I need to be able to retrieve Text from this control and access things like the caret position, and be able to set the caret position along with selecting text, this all needs to be done programatically.

Do you have any API or anything else that I can use to access information about this control.

The TWPRichText per-se does not publish an interface like this to out of process code - except for the interface to interact with dictation software.

But that has to be activated specifically and also is relatively new.
