Description
This method loads and parses a RTF stream from a DBF field. The field must contain a valid RTF stream or it is ignored. This method returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if an error is encountered. If this method executes successfully, you can display the RTF on a RpPrinter or PtrDevice via the RTF:DrawText() method.
Due to the 64K size limit of strings in a 16 bit application, the size of the RTF stream must be less than 64K when using the RP2/16 runtime.
Example
// Load a RTF stream from a field
oRTF:LoadRTFFromField("RTFField")
