DOORs DXL : richText method in windows 7

Question

I wanted to assign the object text as an rtf text using richText method. I got a strange behavior with the tables inside rtf.

using the same code == tables appears in the text of the object in windows XP but doesn't appear in windows 7. is this a known issue in windows 7 ?

            Object o = current



             o."Object Text" = richText("{\\rtf1 \\viewkind4 
            {\\colortbl;\\red0\\green0\\blue0;}
            {\\stylesheet
                {\\s1\\fs20 heading 1;}
                {\\s2\\fs20 heading 2;}
                {\\s17\\fs20 Body Text;}
                {\\s22\\fs20 List Bullet;}
            }
            {\\info}


            \\pard\\plain \\s17 \\fs20 {Here is a table:\\par}

            \\pard\\plain \\s17 \\fs20 {\\par}

            }")



             string attr =  o."Object Text"
             print attr

and this is the screenshot in windows XP

I see the same issue you do when I use your code. However when I copy the RTF table from XP to DOORS in Windows 7 the table displays fine. So I ran a short script to see what the difference is in the RTF code:

Object o = current
print richText(o."Object Text")

Here is the output:

{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil\\fcharset0 Tahoma;}}
{\\*\\generator Msftedit 5.41.21.2510;}\\viewkind4\\uc1\\trowd\\trgaph70\\trpaddl70\\trpaddr70\\trpaddfl3\\trpaddfr3
\\cellx4530\\cellx9060\\pard\\intbl\\qc\\lang1033\\b\\f0\\fs20 Column One\\cell Column Two\\cell\\row\\trowd\\trgaph70\\trpaddl70\\trpaddr70\\trpaddfl3\\trpaddfr3
\\cellx4530\\cellx9060\\pard\\intbl\\b0 Item One\\cell Value One\\cell\\row\\trowd\\trgaph70\\trpaddl70\\trpaddr70\\trpaddfl3\\trpaddfr3
\\cellx4530\\cellx9060\\pard\\intbl Item Two\\cell Value Two\\cell\\row\\trowd\\trgaph70\\trpaddl70\\trpaddr70\\trpaddfl3\\trpaddfr3
\\cellx4530\\cellx9060\\pard\\intbl Item Three\\cell Value Three\\cell\\row\\pard\\par
}

I am thinking that there may be some tags you are missing in your code that would allow it to work on both Windows 7 and XP. If you replace your RTF with this code, it works in both XP and 7.

Great, it worked for me but this is a completely different tags than the one I used. mine works fine on XP but not on 7. Are there any issues for Doors with richText in general ? — becks, Aug 25 '13 at 09:16
This was the first I had seen it, and I didn't find anything online regarding issues like this. — Steve Valliere, Aug 26 '13 at 11:42
