Hello,
There are some good examples in the notes api for reading and writing rich text. And the code can be kind of long if creating the CD buffer manually. I think my question is easier and requires less code.
I am using the notes api sample called dynamic. It builds a buffer of CD items (para, ref, cdtext, etc) and then uses NSFItemAppend() to write this into a field named RICH_TEXT.
Just before this NSFItemAppend() function is ran, I have inserted code to open another note that has a rich text field in it. Now there are examples of how to read these fields and it does this by converting the data to text. But I am thinking since the data is already rich text I should be able to simply get this rich text combine it to the buffer, move the pointer of the buffer the length of the field and then continue…
In short, I am manually building compound text and then would like to get compound text from the a field and combine this with my manually created buffer and then write this the note.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I was thinking about using NSFItemInfo() which can get the blocked and length but maybe this is wrong direction.
Maybe a simpler example could still help me and might be easier to demonstrate like to get two compound fields from a note, combine them, and then write back as a new item.
Thank you
