I searched over internet for how to inserting picture in RichEdit
. I only found inserting TImage
into Richedit, or other 3rd part components to do it for me. I don't want to use other components or insert TImage
into RichEdit.
Is there any other way to do this?
I want to insert it in line so I can use paragraph actions like justify on it (inserting TImage
does not provide this as i found in examples and tested, am i wrong?). I want to write something like what happened in TJVRichEdit
(in JVCL package) re-sizing picture in Richedit can be ignored.
If you can wrap your image inside of an IOleObject
interface, such as via the OleCreateFromData()
or OleCreateFromFile()
function, then you can use the EM_GETOLEINTERFACE
message to retreive an IRichEditOle
interface from the TRichEdit
and then call its InsertObject()
method to insert the actual image. The tricky part is wrapping the image inside of an IOleObject
to begin with, but it can be done with some work.
Update: here is a rough translation of the information provided by MSDN in the following article:
How to insert a bitmap into an RTF document using the RichEdit control in Visual C++ 6.0
uses
..., Winapi.ActiveX, RichOle;
var
RichEditOle: IRichEditOle;
LockBytes: ILockBytes;
ClientSite: IOleClientSite;
Storage: IStorage;
Image: IOleObject;
Obj: REOBJECT;
Fmt: FORMATETC;
begin
if RichEdit_GetOleInterface(RichEdit1.Handle, RichEditOle) then
begin
ZeroMemory(@Fmt, SizeOf(Fmt));
Fmt.cfFormat := 0;
Fmt.ptd := nil;
Fmt.dwAspect := DVASPECT_CONTENT;
Fmt.lindex := -1;
Fmt.tymed := TYMED_NULL;
OleCheck(CreateILockBytesOnHGlobal(nil, True, LockBytes));
OleCheck(StgCreateDocfileOnILockBytes(LockBytes, STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE or STGM_CREATE or STGM_READWRITE, 0, Storage));
OleCheck(RichEditOle.GetClientSite(ClientSite));
OleCheck(OleCreateFromFile(CLSID_NULL, PChar(FileName), IOleObject, OLERENDER_DRAW, @Fmt, ClientSite, Storage, Image));
OleSetContainedObject(Image, True);
ZeroMemory(@Obj, sizeof(Obj));
Obj.cbStruct := SizeOf(Obj);
Obj.cp := REO_CP_SELECTION;
OleCheck(Image.GetUserClassID(Obj.clsid));
Obj.poleobj := Image;
Obj.pstg := Storage;
Obj.polesite := ClientSite;
Obj.sizel.cx := 0;
Obj.sizel.cx := 0;
Obj.dvaspect := DVASPECT_CONTENT;
Obj.dwFlags := 0;
Obj.dwUser := 0;
OleCheck(RichEditOle.InsertObject(Obj));
end;
end;

I used a mix of TJVRichEdit and OLE, assigned Word Document 97-2003 to my OLEContainer, after editing in Word environment save it as RTF:
OLEContainer.OLEObject.SaveAs(Save_Path, $00000006);
and then load it into JVRichEdit, works well!
You want TRichedit to be TWordEdit which it isn't.
Out of the box TRichedit doesn't support inline images. You either have to implement it yourself, get a cutom Richedit component (like RxRichedit I think) or start thinking about ole automation and load it as a word document.
