TParaAttributes.Assign Method

Copies the properties specified in another TParaAttributes object.

Pascal

procedure Assign(Source: TPersistent); override;

C++

virtual __fastcall Assign(TPersistent * Source);

Description

Use Assign to set the paragraph attributes of the selected paragraph from one rich edit control to match the attributes of the selected paragraph of another rich edit control. Since the properties of a TParaAttributes object are only valid when the TParaAttributes exists within a rich edit control, Assign is only useful for copying attributes between rich edit controls.

Note: Assign only succeeds at runtime when the Source is a TParaAttributes object or an object that has an AssignTo method that is enabled for a TParaAttributes object. Other source objects will raise an EConvertError exception.
