rtename |
The name of the RichTextEdit control in which you want to change the data in the specified input fields. |

This script is part of the SelectionChanged event for the ListBox lb_instruments. When the user clicks on an item in the ListBox, the selected instrument name is assigned to the input field called instrument in the RichTextEdit rte_1:
integer rtn
rtn = rte_1.InputFieldChangeData &
("instrument", lb_instruments.SelectedItem())
st_status.Text = String(rtn)
If the text in rte_1 looks like this:
Dear {title} {lastname}:
We’re happy you have rented a {instrument} for your child. Please perform regular maintenance for the {instrument} as instructed by your child’s teacher. You can buy {instrument} supplies and instruction books at your local music stores.
Then after the user picks trumpet in the ListBox, the script inserts trumpet for every occurrence of the {instrument} field. The other fields are not affected:
Dear {title} {lastname}:
We’re happy you have rented a trumpet for your child. Please perform regular maintenance for the trumpet as instructed by your child’s teacher. You can buy trumpet supplies and instruction books at your local music stores.
