How to use textformat with XFRX#LISTENER

VFP 9.0 SP0/SP1

In VFP 9.0  or VFP 9.0 with SP1, "Stretch with overflow" is not supported. Rich text can be rendered to textboxes with a static height only.

VFP 9.0 SP2

In VFP 9.0 with SP2, the rich text can be rendered to textbox with dynamic height or static height. For textbox with dynamic height to work correctly, CallEvaluateContents property must be set to 2:

loSession=EVALUATE([XFRX("XFRX#LISTENER")]) loSession.CallEvaluateContents=2

Textformat to screen

Output from textformat can be draw to the screen, too. You can download package with examples for <tf> and <bb>.

DO tf2screen.prg WITH "<TF>","tf-001.txt" DO tf2screen.prg WITH "<BB>","bb-001.txt" * <tf> template examples USE "_data\tf" IN 0 USE "_data\tf-child" IN 0 ORDER "I01" ALIAS tf_child SELECT tf SET RELATION TO XX010 INTO "tf_child" DO "tf2screen.prg" with "<TF>","TF-009.txt" && TR template USE "_data\tf" IN 0 USE "_data\tf-child" IN 0 ORDER "I01" ALIAS tf_child SELECT tf SET RELATION TO XX010 INTO "tf_child" SKIP 1 DO "tf2screen.prg" with "<TF>","TF-010.txt" && LI template USE "_data\tf" IN 0 USE "_data\tf-child" IN 0 ORDER "I01" ALIAS tf_child SELECT tf SET RELATION TO XX010 INTO "tf_child" SKIP 2 DO "tf2screen.prg" with "<TF>","TF-011.txt" && P template * <bb> template examples USE "_data\bb" IN 0 USE "_data\bb-child" IN 0 ORDER "I01" ALIAS bb_child SELECT bb SET RELATION TO XX010 INTO "bb_child" DO "tf2screen.prg" with "<BB>","BB-003.txt" && TR template USE "_data\bb" IN 0 USE "_data\bb-child" IN 0 ORDER "I01" ALIAS bb_child SELECT bb SET RELATION TO XX010 INTO "bb_child" SKIP 1 DO "tf2screen.prg" with "<BB>","BB-004.txt" && LI template USE "_data\bb" IN 0 USE "_data\bb-child" IN 0 ORDER "I01" ALIAS bb_child SELECT bb SET RELATION TO XX010 INTO "bb_child" SKIP 1 DO "tf2screen.prg" with "<BB>","BB-005.txt" && LEFT template
