Copy text with list markers

Post by LadyOfWood »

I have a text with following structure:
<text item0>
<list marker1 (rvsListMarker)><text item2>
<list marker3 (rvsListMarker)><text item4>
<list marker5 (rvsListMarker)><text item6>

to copy a text item i used a following code, set selection (before item 2 (1 - for text item) and before item 3 (0 - for non-text).

Code: Select all

rve.SetSelectionBounds(2, 1, 3, 0);
rve.SaveRVFToStream(save_stream, true);
rve.Deselect;
But list markers (1 and 3) in this case is saved to rvf. I do not need them. What am i doing wrong?

TRichView needs to decide somehow, when to copy list markers.

In MS Word, list markers are copied when end-of-paragraph mark is selected (not an ideal intuitive solution too, because a list marker and an end-of-paragraph mark are at the opposite sides of paragraphs).
TRichView does not have selectable end-of-paragraph marks, so it needs another rule. It is simple: markers are copied if the beginning of paragraph (not necessary counting the marker itself) is included in the selection.

Maybe a better logic is possible, but I do not know it.

Is any way to select items without list markers? Or save needed part of document to stream?

Markers are added automatically, if the beginning of this paragraph is included in the selection.
Sorry, there is no way to not-save it.
The only way is copying the selection to a temporary invisible TRichView, remove the markers, and then copy.
