Richedit

[limelect 51]

I am trying to understand my problem with reverse HEBREW TEXT.

I have 3 rich edit components and a memo for testing.

RichEdit1, jvRichEdit, and AdvRichEditor

jvRichEdit and AdvRichEditor reverse my string(my Hebrew name)

The source is a Richedit file.

 

 

procedure TForm1.BitBtn2Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  s: TStringList;
begin
  s := TStringList.Create;
  OpenDialog1.Filter := 'RTF files (*.rtf)|*.rtf|Any files (*.*)|*.*';
  if OpenDialog1.Execute then
  begin
    AdvRichEditor1.Clear;
    RichEdit1.Clear;
    jvRichEdit1.Clear;
    RichEdit1.Lines.LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1.FileName);
    jvRichEdit1.Lines.LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1.FileName);

    s.LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1.FileName);
    Memo1.Clear;
    memo1.Text := RtfToText(s.Text, true); <<<< procedure from the Internet
    AdvRichEditor1.InsertText(0, memo1.Text); <<<<< Inserting memo text to ADVrich is OK
    AdvRichEditor1.Repaint;
    AdvRichEditorRTFIO1.Load(OpenDialog1.FileName); <<<<< reverse Hebrew string
    s.Free;
  end;
end;
My main rich is AdvRichEditor.

P.S My final file contains pictures too

Unless I have to go into the sources any solution?

Is the BiDiMode property set to true on all controls in question? Also look at the methods in the see also section at the bottom of the page linked to for BiDiMode, may be important if you test on a non-hebrew locale.

@PeterBelowd10.2.3 on AdvRichEditor1 which I am using there is NO BidiMode

Bidi Mode on jvRichEdit does not help it only moves to the right but not revers

Let's stay on 2 components.

   RichEdit1.Lines.LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1.FileName);  <<<<< Hebrew Text OK
   jvRichEdit1.Lines.LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1.FileName); <<<< Hebrew text reverse

Any Idea?

Ok some research

this is rtf string

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Segoe UI;}}{\colortbl \red0\green0\blue0;}\viewkind4\uc1\f0\cf0\f0\fs20 \u1513G\u1500G\u1502G\u1492G\par abcd\par}

On the screen my name is OK but in the rtf saving is backward

Underneath there is abcd 2 lines of text

1513 is my first Unicode letter of my name. On the screen, it is the fourth charter

What is going on?

 

and finally, if I write English Hebrew English text it still revers the Hebrew 

 

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Segoe UI;}}{\colortbl \red0\green0\blue0;}\viewkind4\uc1\f0\cf0\f0\fs20 abcd \u1513G\u1500G\u1502G\u1492G cdef\par}

Microsoft has released several versions of the richedit control over the decades, TRichedit in the current Delphi version (since 11.0 if memory serves) is based on version 4

(the latest and most feature-rich). The Jedi version may be based on an older version. The divers versions are implemented in separate DLLs with different names and use different window class names, so they can coexist on a given Windows system. Different versions may explain the behaviour you see.

@PeterBelow I am deep in understanding the reverse of text in

TAdvRichEditorBase.GetContentAsRTF(UseSelection: boolean): string;

P.s the text comes OK to this point

@peterbelow

I hope I fixed it

on this procedure TRTFEngine.AddInternal(S: String; KWCode: Integer);

 

 for i := 1 to length(S) do
    begin
      ch := CharInStr(S,i);
      {$IFNDEF LCLLIB}
      if ord(ch) > 127 then
      {$ENDIF}
      {$IFDEF LCLLIB}
      if ch > #127 then
      {$ENDIF}
 //shlomo       enc := enc + '\u' + IntToStr(ord(ch))+ 'G' <<<<< the original

        enc := '\u' + IntToStr(ord(ch))+ 'G'+enc   <<<    I changed the order
      else
       enc := enc + ch;
    end;
 But this is good ONLY for HEBREW obviously

other languages are different problems.

The saving was the problem

@peterbelow

I had to fix the same problem for PDF ALSO ONLY FOR HEBREW

The only problem on the same line ONLY the same language

 

function TAdvPDFGraphicsLibOutputWriter.ConvertStringToHex(AValue: UnicodeString): String;
var
  I: integer;
  v: Integer;
  idx: integer;
begin
  Result := '';
  {$IFDEF DELPHI_LLVM}
  for I := 0 to Length(AValue) - 1 do
  {$ENDIF}
  {$IFNDEF DELPHI_LLVM}
  for I := 1 to Length(AValue) do
  {$ENDIF}
  begin
    v := Ord(AValue);
    if (v >= 32) then
    begin
      if not FontCharArrayContainsValue(v) then
        FontCharArrayAddValue(v);

      idx := FontCharArray.IndexOf(v);
      if idx > -1 then
//shlomo        Result := Result + AddHex4(FontCharWidths[idx].g);<< original
       Result :=  AddHex4(FontCharWidths[idx].g)+Result ;change for Hebrew
    end;
  end;
end;

AdvRichEditor is VERY buggy. We use it in our program and already fixed 50+ issues reported by users. As always TMS rushes to release something that is not even an alpha version. We plan to switch to TRichView at some point.

@dwrbudr This is the demo of TRichView with mixed Hebrew and English but the PDF is PDF24

But as I wanted the PDF to be built within I used AdvRichEditor maybe I will consider it too

 

P.S. I suspect one can take PDF basic of AdvRichEditor and use it for TRichView

TRichView was an excellent control when I started using it 15 years ago. I would absolutely use it again if I needed a powerful WYSIWYG editor.

 

I had the same experience with TMS components, although I never used AdvRichEditor.
