Inserting at the position of caret

These methods are useful for implementing "Insert" menu in your application. All these methods:

1.check ReadOnly property (and do nothing in read-only mode);

2.delete the selected items;

3.insert item(s);

4.quickly reformat the changed part of the document;

5.repaint the editor;

6.generate OnChange event, set Modified to True.

The methods do nothing (and return True), if the selected text is modify/delete protected (or several cells of table are selected).

Inserting Text

These methods can insert several text items of the current text style (see CurTextStyleNo property):

procedure InsertText(text, CaretBefore);

ANSI (InsertTextA) and Unicode (InsertTextW) versions of InsertText are available.

function InsertTextFromFile(FileName, CodePage):Boolean;

function InsertTextFromFileW(FileName):Boolean;

function InsertOEMTextFromFile(FileName):Boolean;

These methods insert one text item (string must not contain line break, page break and tab characters) with the specified tag:

function InsertStringTag(s, Tag): Boolean;

ANSI (InsertStringATag) and Unicode (InsertStringWTag) versions of InsertStringTag are available.

These methods insert one item of the specified type (parameters are similar to parameters of Add*** methods):

function InsertControl(Name, ctrl, VAlign): Boolean;

function InsertPicture(Name, gr, VAlign): Boolean;

function InsertHotPicture(Name, gr, VAlign): Boolean;

function InsertBreak(Width, Style, Color): Boolean;

function InsertBullet(ImageIndex, ImageList): Boolean;

function InsertHotspot(ImageIndex, HotImageIndex, ImageList): Boolean;

These methods insert RVF file or stream

function InsertRVFFromStreamEd(Stream):Boolean;

function InsertRVFFromFileEd(FileName):Boolean;

These methods insert RTF (Rich Text Format) file or stream

function InsertRTFFromStreamEd(Stream):Boolean;

function InsertRTFFromFileEd(FileName):Boolean;

These methods insert text of the current text style (see CurTextStyleNo property):

function InsertTextFromFile(FileName):Boolean;

function InsertTextFromFileW(FileName):Boolean;

function InsertOEMTextFromFile(FileName):Boolean;

The most general method for inserting items is

function InsertItem(Name, Item): Boolean;
