If I just do this from a form

Code: Select all

var
  sItemDes: String;
begin
          sItemDes := GetAllText(frmeMEItemList1.DBRichViewEdit1);
          Showmessage(sItemDes);

end;

I see the text excluding format codes which is what I want.

But if I do this via code:

Code: Select all


            LoadRVFFromField(rvHidden, SchoolDB.IB_QItemListExport, 'RVDESCRIPTION');
          sItemDes := GetAllText(rvHidden);
          Showmessage(sItemDes);

where LoadRVFFromField is as you have it above, I get an empty string.
What might be the issue with this?

The only reason I can imagine is that LoadRVFFromField fails for some reason, or the field is empty.

The field has a value - I can showmessage the value.
The function is:

Code: Select all

function TMEProjectSelect.LoadRVFFromField(rv: TCustomRichView; qry: TIB_Query;
                          const FieldName: String): Boolean;
var Stream: TStream;
begin
  Stream := qry.CreateBlobStream(qry.FieldByName(FieldName), bsmRead);
  try
    Result := rv.LoadRVFFromStream(Stream);
  finally
    Stream.Free;
  end;
end;
