This procedure inserts the text s at the beginning of the caret paragraph,

then returns caret to the original position.

It uses functions from

http://www.trichview.com/support/files/rvlinear.zip

But if you want to implement paragraph bullets/numbering, it's much better

to use corresponding RichView features instead.

procedure InsertTextAtTheParaStart(rve: TCustomRichViewEdit; const s:

String);

var Pos, ItemNo, Offs: Integer;

begin

// if you need to work with item indices, always

// work with top-level cell editor

rve := rve.TopLevelEditor;

// storing caret position - a number of characters

// from the beginning of document to caret + Length(s)

Pos := RVGetLinearCaretPos(rve)+Length(s);

// searching for the beginning of paragraph

ItemNo := rve.CurItemNo;

while not rve.IsParaStart(ItemNo) do

dec(ItemNo);

Offs := rve.GetOffsBeforeItem(ItemNo);

// moving caret to the beginning of paragraph

rve.SetSelectionBounds(ItemNo, Offs, ItemNo, Offs);

// inserting text

rve.InsertText(s);

// returning caret back

RVSetLinearCaretPos(rve, Pos);

end;
