Hi,
I'm using a WPDBRichtextfield to read and save RTF-Text with graphics into
a blobfield of a database.
Would it be better to use a WPRichtextfield to save and load from that blob?
Are there any disadvantages in one of them ?. The DBfield is much easier to handle, but for the future i would like to add C/S functionality, too
Thanks
Thomas
Hi,
DBWPRichText are not a good idea for long texts since the DB senesitive mechanism tends to poste and reload far too often. Use a TWPRichText and property AsString of both Filed, and editor.
You only need to add 2 dataset events, OnScroll and OnPost

Thanks Julian,
I' ll try that. At least it sounds good.. :D

One additional note:
If you save to RTF images in the text will be encoded a binary. That can be pproblematic with some databases if you use a MEMO field. You can either use a BLOB filed or force a ASCII string using the function AsANSIString('RTF-nobinary)
If you use ASString you can also set the format string ('RTF-nobinary') in the property TextSaveFormat

Thanks Julian,
I'm using a blob field yet. Should have replied already to say thank you for your help, sorry -)
