prevent page break

[MrQuestion]

Moin moin,

all i want to know is, how can i prevent the User to add a new Page on my Richview?

I tried so many things out...
Also the Forum is full of threads how it is possible to add a page break, but i couldnt find any of how to prevent of page break...

my last try ends up like this:

Code: Select all

procedure TFInsertControls.SRichViewEdit1PaintPage(Sender: TObject; 
  PageNo: Integer; PageRect, R: TRect; Canvas: TCanvas; Prepaint, 
  Printing: Boolean); 
var 
   i, i2 : Integer; 
begin 
  if SRichViewEdit1.PageCount > 1 then
  begin
    SRichViewEdit1.GetPageStartItemNo(2, i, i2);
    if SRichViewEdit1.GetPageNo(SRichViewEdit1.ActiveEditor.RVData, i, i2) > 1 then
    begin
      SRichViewEdit1.DeletePage(2);
    end;
  end; 
end; 

I know there is a IgnorePagebreak somewhere in the Code, but i dont know how to use it anyway...

hope you guys can help me out...

A property for ignoring page breaks is available for TRVReportHelper, not for ScaleRichView.

There is no possibility of preventing adding page breaks. Even if you disable these commands in user interface, page breaks can be added when pasting data (even a plain text, #$0C character).

So the only way is writing a code for removing page breaks. Something like this:

Code: Select all

var 
  i, r: Integer;
  Table: TRVTableItemInfo;
  rv: TCustomRichView;
begin
  rv := SRichViewEdit1.RichViewEdit;
  for i := 0 to rv.ItemCount-1 do
  begin
    rv.PageBreaksBeforeItems[i] := False;
    if rv.GetItem(i) is TRVTableItemInfo then
   begin
     table := TRVTableItemInfo(rv.GetItem(i);
     for r := 0 to table.RowCount - 1 do
       table.Rows[r].PageBreakBefore := False;
   end;
  end;
end;

The code above removes all forced page breaks. But it does not prevent page breaking if the document does not fit to a single page.

Code: Select all

procedure TFInsertControls.SRichViewEdit1PaintPage(Sender: TObject; 
  PageNo: Integer; PageRect, R: TRect; Canvas: TCanvas; Prepaint, 
  Printing: Boolean); 
var 
   i, i2 : Integer; 
begin 
  if SRichViewEdit1.PageCount > 1 then
  begin
    SRichViewEdit1.GetPageStartItemNo(2, i, i2);
    if SRichViewEdit1.GetPageNo(SRichViewEdit1.ActiveEditor.RVData, i, i2) > 1 then
    begin
      SRichViewEdit1.DeletePage(2);
    end;
  end; 
end; 

This is fine for any Control, but when i press Enter at the last Position of Page1 then Page2 is visible.
Is there a way to delete this new page? Because my OnPaintPage doesnt help here...
Can i just remove this Letter or Item?

My code removes page breaks added by "Insert Page Break" command (or loaded from files), but it does not prevent page breaks if the content does not fit the page.

The code to delete content of all pages after the page 1 is below:

Code: Select all

var
  PageCount: Integer;
begin
   if SRichViewEdit1.PageCount = 1 then
     exit;
   SRichViewEdit1.CanUpdate := False;
   while SRichViewEdit1.PageCount > 1 do
   begin
     PageCount := SRichViewEdit1.PageCount;
     SRichViewEdit1.DeletePage(SRichViewEdit1.PageCount);
     if PageCount = SRichViewEdit1.PageCount then
       with SRichViewEdit1.RichViewEdit do
       begin
         SetSelectionBounds(
           ItemCount-1, GetOffsAfterItem(ItemCount-1),
           ItemCount-1, GetOffsAfterItem(ItemCount-1));
         SendMessage(Handle, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_BACK, 0);
       end;
   end;
   SRichViewEdit1.CanUpdate := True;
end;

But you cannot modify document while painting its pages, the editor may crash.

Code: Select all

var 
  PageCount: Integer; 
begin 
   if SRichViewEdit1.PageCount = 1 then 
     exit; 
   SRichViewEdit1.CanUpdate := False; 
   while SRichViewEdit1.PageCount > 1 do 
   begin 
     PageCount := SRichViewEdit1.PageCount; 
     SRichViewEdit1.DeletePage(SRichViewEdit1.PageCount); 
     if PageCount = SRichViewEdit1.PageCount then 
       with SRichViewEdit1.RichViewEdit do 
       begin 
         SetSelectionBounds( 
           ItemCount-1, GetOffsAfterItem(ItemCount-1), 
           ItemCount-1, GetOffsAfterItem(ItemCount-1)); 
         SendMessage(Handle, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_BACK, 0); 
       end; 
   end; 
   SRichViewEdit1.CanUpdate := True; 
end;

Works fine, thanks so far.

Huhu,

i have found a smaller Answer to my Problem:

Code: Select all

  if SRichViewEdit1.PageCount = 1 then
  begin
    exit; 
  end;
  //
  SRichViewEdit1.RichViewEdit.Undo;

This helps very much, because there are no problems with deleting Content by inserting an Item between (or before) other Items that will generate a new Page.
(The Item will be pushed to Page 2 wich will be deleted)

Thank you anyway.
