Hi all

Sorry another newbie question...

I am trying to print styled text in an editField using StyledTextPrinter on Windows98. I tried the tutorial get the same result.

I have tried RB 4.5.2, 4.5.3 and 5.0 but all of them fail to print the text styled, only plain. This also changes the text in the editField to plain as well.

There has been many reported bugs and posts regarding styledTextPrinters, but still I can't find a solution that works.

I have tried going through the seltext, and writing each character via drawstring. This gives me the styles, but not the correct font or font size. And anyway this method is way too slow!

Should I try putting the textStyleData in a memoryBlock and go through each style run and then drawstring that? or am I going about it the wrong way? Will it work?

BTW How can it be that the tutorial hasn't worked for 3 versions of RB?

thanks heaps!
