Hello Bernard,

> 1. The height of the form is about 818p. So on my monitor, because you have AutoCenter on and the Titlebar hidden, the form actually is not centered properly and I am unable to access the title bar. I changed it to AutoCenter Off and resized the form and now all is well since my resolution is 1280x800.


Originally, WindowState property is set to 2. I changed it back to 0 before posting as the initial display of my notes does not look cool in my LCD here (I have 1440x900). To fix that problem, you can simply set WindowState=2. One thing that it will do though is cover everything including the taskbar.

That is for the font color. It is actually not a button as I think you knew. It is a container with 1 shape as border, an image of letter A representing font color, and the rectangle (another shape). I guess when I decided to "hot-track", the purpose of font color is lost (I did not realize it till now). The rectangle's purpose though is to popup the color selection so you can change the color of the active text selections.

Same as in Word I believe. You click a text, click the format painter, it then saves all settings (font name, size, color, justification, bold settings, underline, and italic into UD Properties; then you just have to highlight another set of text and the format from where you first clicked format painter will be reflected on the highlighted texts.

4. When I select any text and press the BACKSPACE key the dialog to "Open Picture" pops up. Backspace should delete the selected text.

That I have not tested. This tool is very new, I created it just recently and I focused more on the GUI after I thought I already implemented my enhancements.


> 6. If I have previously clicked the "Show RTF codes" button, and then click "New Note" the RTF is cleared but the editbox still shows the RTF codes. This is when the page is blank and there is no RTF.

That I did not bother to clear. Pus there is no other purpose of that yet aside from plain showing the codes. Maybe I will add more usage later on my side. :-U

>
> 7. There is no way to change the colour of any text. Also the RTF somehow retains the previous colour codes.

See # 2 answer. Click on the rectangle bar.

> 8. For me the "Insert Image" did not work. If I click the button, the dialog appears, and I navigate and select an image and the image is not inserted. Instead the text that is in the clipboard gets inserted. Anyway I fixed this by copying the system.app to the same directory. I know you mention this in your blog.

> 9. What does the 3rd button "Update Entry" do?
>


That is part of my Tree View Cataloging feature. It updates the memo content of the current node with the content of the RTF control. So I did not include it there, I failed to remove it though on the sample.

> 10. The property of the RTF HideSelected should be .F. so that the selection does not disappear when you lose focus by clicking on a button.
>

Nice tip! I will do that here on my side. Others should do it well also on the sample they downloaded.


> Finally if I could select text and images from a web page and paste directly into the document that would be great. Currently you can either paste text OR a sincle copied image, not both. I know that MSWord has this ability. I use it often to copy from a web page and paste and then reformat in word before printing.
>

I still haven't thought about it. When we copy from web page and paste it inside the RTF control, it became pure text. So what I do on my side is paste those first in MSWord, then copy it again from word to the RTF control. That is when it will accept both text and images plus retaining the formats.


> Other than these points this could be a great tool to use instead of Word and since you have kindly posted the source, is completely configurable and can be enhanced.
