RTF Functions > VpeWriteRTFFile

Outputs RTF text, which is read from the file specified in "file_name", within a rectangle at position x, y, with the right border at x2 and the bottom border at y2. This is very useful for processing text already created by your end user with an RTF editor.

The pen is invisible.

VpeCoord VpeWriteRTFFile(

VpeHandle hDoc,

VpeCoord x,

VpeCoord y,

VpeCoord x2,

VpeCoord y2,

LPCSTR file_name

)

VpeHandle hDoc

Document Handle

VpeCoord x, y, x2, y2

position and dimensions

LPCSTR file_name

the file with RTF text that is imported

Returns:

the bottom y-coordinate generated by the output

Remarks:

VFREE: only the y2 coordinate may be set to VFREE, not x2.

Keywords in the RTF file override any VPE API properties. For example, if you set

"\f1 = Arial" and in the RTF file it is defined as "\f1 = Times New Roman", then "\f1" will be "Times New Roman".

In case of an error, LastError is set.

VPE offers several methods to attach an object's position to margins and relative to the position of previously inserted objects. In addition Text, Rich Text and Picture objects are able to compute their dimensions automatically depending on their visual content.
For details please see "Dynamic Positioning" in the Programmer's Manual.
