Character Values of Special Characters

Do not directly invoke model modifying methods, at the lowest level use commands instead. See the programming guide for details.

At a higher level, some text related commands are available thru ITextModelCmds.

For your special case I can only refer to ITextEditSuite, eventually I've just missed any Utils/Facade with a less than obvious name.

Anyway, instead of going thru a suite, you want to end up executing kInsertBreakCharacterCmdBoss.

UIDList refers to the story, IRangeData sets the offset, and for IIntData use 3.

Under the hood (no need to do it yourself) this invokes two sub-commands: kUserTypeTextCmdBoss to insert the actual character 0x000d, followed by a kUserApplyAttrCmdBoss which applies kTextAttrGotoNextXBoss with IID_ITEXTATTRBREAKBEFOREMODE set to the 3 of above - the numeric value for enum Text::StartBreakLocation … kAtFrameBox.

Hi Manan,

Thank you very much for the 2 links.

Do I understand correctly from the 1st link that if I want to enter text into a box linked to another, I can use ^R to insert a frame break such as "text in box1^Rtext in box 2" and this will cause "text in box 2" to be in the linked box ?

I would, of course, prefer to use enums, as in your second link, but thoese enums seem to be only for scripting; I could not find them anywhere in the SDK. Did I not look properly ?

Very best regards,

Olivier
