O.P. Rich text format extract using Interop
I'm trying to get the RTF data out of a richeditcontrol. Couldn't find an easy way so i'm trying to use Interop.
so far i have:
code: function OnWndMainEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, ControlId)
{
if (ControlId == "BtnSend")
{
var SF_RTF = 0x2
var SF_UNICODE = 0x10
var WM_USER = 0x400
var EM_STREAMOUT = (WM_USER + 74)
var len = PlusWnd.GetControlText("CodeBox").length;
var editStream = Interop.Allocate(24)
editStream.WriteDWORD(0,0)
editStream.WriteDWORD(8,0)
editStream.WriteDWORD(16,Interop.GetCallbackPtr("EditStreamCallback"))
var lResult = Interop.Call2("user32.dll", "SendMessageW", PlusWnd.GetControlHandle(ControlId), EM_STREAMOUT, SF_RTF || SF_UNICODE, editStream )
Debug.Trace("result: " + lResult)
}
}
function EditStreamCallback(dwCookie, lpBuff, cb, pcb)
{
}
I've probably done this all wrong so any help is appreciated.

RE: Rich text format extract using Interop
Are you trying to get the raw rtf text?

Ye, i'm trying to get the rtf raw data out i can parse it and replace any color values with with ones used in msgplus and then send the message so the receiver will see the rich text

RE: Rich text format extract using Interop
Ok first thing first you dont want to use || when calling the function. You want to use |.

O.P. RE: Rich text format extract using Interop
ok, changing it doesnt make it work though. I have no idea what I need to change, bit that confused me most was
code: var editStream = Interop.Allocate(24)
editStream.WriteDWORD(0,0)
editStream.WriteDWORD(8,0)
editStream.WriteDWORD(16,Interop.GetCallbackPtr("EditStreamCallback"))
Its probably wrong, as I copied it from documentation on msgplus along with using microsoft documentation.
I read that to retrieve the rtf text you need to use EM_STREAMOUT message which it then sends back to the calling program as an EditStreamCallback from which you can then get the string?
I made a window with a RichEditControl and been experimenting with it with no luck

RE: Rich text format extract using Interop
The structure should only be 12 bytes in size.
I almost have it working... just give me a bit to post it and clean it up

O.P. RE: Rich text format extract using Interop
Thanks! , works great, the cookie matches. Looks like i wasn't far off from doing it myself , i would never have worked out what was wrong
Thanks for help so far Need one last thing before I can finish my script, sorry. The callback function returns a pointer to the buffer and the buffer length and no idea how to retrieve the string using script, not sure there is a way to access the pointer directly?

I've found the DataBloc::ReadString method
[string] ReadString(
[number] Offset,
[boolean,optional] ReadUnicode,
[number,optional] Size
);
Just testing it

RE: Rich text format extract using Interop
js code: // variables
var SF_RTF = 0x2;
var SF_UNICODE = 0x10;
var WM_USER = 0x400;
var EM_STREAMOUT = (WM_USER + 74);
// did this just to make sure that function call smaller
var nFlags = SF_RTF | SF_UNICODE;
/*
// this was my testing
MsgPlus.CreateWnd('WndMain.xml', 'WndMain');
Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible = true;*/
function OnWndMainEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, ControlId) {
// check which control is sending the event
if (ControlId == 'BtnSend') {
// create a variable to hold the handle of the rtf control
var CodeBox_hWnd = PlusWnd.GetControlHandle('CodeBox');
// print this handle to verify for later use
Debug.Trace('CodeBox Handle: '+CodeBox_hWnd);
// create our memory block for the EDITSTREAMCALLBACK
var EDITSTREAMCALLBACK = Interop.Allocate(12);
/* specify the application defined variable (simply to verify
the rtf box is the one the function is relating to) */
EDITSTREAMCALLBACK.WriteDWORD(0, CodeBox_hWnd);
// get the callback pointer for our function
EDITSTREAMCALLBACK.WriteDWORD(8, Interop.GetCallbackPtr('EditStreamCallback'));
// send the message to the control
// notice the use of Call not Call2; Call is for functions that return an INT, Call2 is to return a BSTR - http://mpscripts.net/docs/ref-interop-call2.php
Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', CodeBox_hWnd, EM_STREAMOUT, nFlags, EDITSTREAMCALLBACK.DataPtr);
}
}
function EditStreamCallback(dwCookie, lpBuff, cb, pcb) {
// dwCookie should match the CodeBox control handle
Debug.Trace ('dwCookie: '+dwCookie);
// print the length of the raw rtf data
Debug.Trace ('cb: '+cb);
// define a datablock large enough to hold our data
var lpsz = Interop.Allocate(cb+1);
// copy the memory from the data buffer to our allocated memory block
Interop.Call('kernel32', 'RtlMoveMemory', lpsz, lpBuff, lpsz.Size);
// print out the result
Debug.Trace(lpsz.ReadString(0, false));
}
