The methods insert text at the position of caret.
procedure InsertText(const text: String;
CaretBefore: Boolean=False);
procedure InsertTextA(const text: TRVAnsiString;
CaretBefore: Boolean=False);
procedure InsertTextW(const text: TRVUnicodeString;
CaretBefore: Boolean=False);
Inserted text has current text and current paragraph style.
Text may contain special characters:CR, LF, TAB, FF (#13, #10, #9, #12). #9 characters may be inserted as tabulators, depending on value of SpacesInTab property of the linked RVStyle component. #12 characters add page breaks. All possible line breaks modes (CR, LF, CR+LF, LF+CR) are supported.
InsertTextW supports the Unicode byte order marks characters (if it's present, it must be the first character in text).
If CaretBefore=True, the caret will be positioned before the inserted text after insertion (default positioning is after the text). Set it to True when performing search-and-replace in down-up direction (note: the standard replace dialog does not allow to choose down-up direction) to avoid infinite loop (when replacing, for example, 'a' with 'aa'). The "smart start" search option helps to solve this problem; however, this advice is still in effect.
Methods type: editing-style method for insertion.
Unicode note:
Internally, text is stored as Unicode. InsertTextA converts ANSI to Unicode using Style.DefCodePage.
InsertText works:
▪like InsertTextA, in Delphi 2007 and older
▪like InsertTextW, in Delphi 2009 and newer
