Richedit and national chars

Hello Miroslaw,

I am afraid that at present I have no idea how to replicate this issue. Would you please post a problematic sample to this thread so that we can see the problem in action? I hope this will make the situation clearer.

Thanks,
Alessandro.

            if (e.VariableName == "Annotations")
            {

Miroslaw,

Thank you for the feedback. I am afraid that I still cannot replicate a similar issue by using XtraRichEdit demo project. Attached is a sample screencast that illustrates my actions. Please let me know if I missed anything important.

Thanks,
Alessandro.

It is all about Document.AppendRtfText and insert it within CalculateDocumentVariables. Editing document itself in richedit control works fine (national characters are replaced with its code representation) so there is no problem like in Your screencast. The problem is when I want to insert national characters into document from code.

When I encode this chars manually by uning additional method Encode(annotationLine) and replace all chars with its code representation there is ok. But Is threre a way to insert rtf with this chars from code by using AppendRtfText?

Additionally when I use code to merge master detail like in demo example it doesn't work (this is copy paste from demo example project):
void Document_CalculateDocumentVariable(object sender, CalculateDocumentVariableEventArgs e)
{
            if (e.VariableName == "Annotations")
            {
              details.Options.MailMerge.DataSource = annotations;

              RichEditDocumentServer result = new RichEditDocumentServer();

              MailMergeOptions options = details.CreateMailMergeOptions();
              options.MergeMode = MergeMode.JoinTables;
              result.CalculateDocumentVariable += detail_CalculateDocumentVariable; // it should be called
              details.MailMerge(options, result);
              result.CalculateDocumentVariable -= detail_CalculateDocumentVariable;
           }
}

// this method is never called
void detail_CalculateDocumentVariable(object sender, CalculateDocumentVariableEventArgs e)
        {
            string time = e.Arguments[0].Value;
            if (e.VariableName == "Time")
            {
                e.Value = "x";
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }
