dwcontrol |
A reference to a DataWindow control or DataStore object. The DataWindow object in the DataWindow control or DataStore must be a RichTextEdit DataWindow. |
|

Return value
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, InsertDocument returns null.
Usage
When the control supports headers and footer (the HeaderFooter property is set to true), inserting a document can replace, but not add to, existing header and footer text. You must set clearflag to true to replace the existing header and footer text with header and footer text from the inserted document.
Not all RTF formatting is supported. PowerBuilder supports version 1.6 of the RTF standard, except for the following:
-
No support for formatted tables
-
No drawing controls
Any unsupported formatting is ignored.
