Changing a NotesRichTextItem text colour

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I currently have some code which takes a richtext field from a document, in the form of a notesitem, called “body”. I then want to put the contents of “body”, into a richtext field on a new document, called “body2”.

I can do this by using doc.copyitem(body, “body2”), however the text formatting in “body2” is being dicated by the formatting in “body”. I have tried setting the font and font colour in designer for the “body2” field, but it is overwritten when I use copyitem.

All I want to do is take the formatted text (and attachments if present) from “body”, and paste these into “body2”, with all text being red.

I have appended a notesstyle to Body2 with no luck

Thanks

use AppendRTItem method to copy the content from one rich text field to another.

Unless I’m not doing it correctly, this isn’t working.

Set RStyle = sess.CreateRichTextStyle

RStyle.NotesColor = COLOR_RED

Call body22.AppendStyle(RStyle)

Call body2.AppendRTItem(body)

Call body2.Update

I’m still getting the text colour of whatever the text was in the body rtitem.

See the SetStyle method. This might require iterating through the text runs, or you could set the endpoints of the range to the first and last text run.
