I update a TWideMemo field by streaming using a TStringStream from a TRichEdit. Occasionally it works fine.

Usually it fails on the table.Post with a EUniError: Requested conversion is not supported

Parameter[0]: ACT_NOTES - invalid Value (Status = 2h)

Plain text always works....if I change the font colour or make it bold then *BAM* it bombs

Not clever.

Can anyone help me please

Here's the streaming code, which debugs fine, code falls over on the post:

procedure Tdm.StreamRE2WM(Source: TRichEdit; Target: TWideMemoField);
var
ss : TStringStream;
begin
ss := TStringStream.Create;
Source.Lines.SaveToStream(ss);
ss.Position := 0;
Target.LoadFromStream(ss);
FreeAndNil(ss);
end;

To solve the problem, you should create TStringStream with the correct encoding. Here is a code example:

Code: Select all

procedure Tdm.StreamRE2WM(Source: TRichEdit; Target: TWideMemoField);
var
  ss: TStringStream;
begin
  ss := TStringStream.Create(Source.Lines.Text, TEncoding.Unicode);
  try
    ss.Position := 0;
    Target.LoadFromStream(ss);
  finally
    ss.Free;
  end;
end;

For more information about the correct usage of TRichEdit and TWideMemoField, please write to the Embarcadero support.

The UniError disappears but the Richedit loses all it's formatting

We do not develop TDBRichEdit, so this question is out of scope of our support. Please write about this problem to the Embarcadero support.
