It is only possible by custom drawing in OnPaintPage event.
The most similar demos are in Demos\CustomDraw\Rectangles folder.

I assume you need to draw it only for the last page.

This event has the page coordinate in parameters: PageRect.

Line coordinates:

Left: PageRect.Left+SRV.LeftMargin100Pix
Right: PageRect.Right - SRV.RightMargin100Pix;
Bottom: PageRect.Bottom - SRV.BottomMargin100Pix;
Top:
Use SRV.GetItemBounds100 to get coordinates of the last item (index = SRV.RichViewEdit.ItemCount-1) relative to the page, and add PageRect.Top, like in the demo mentioned above.

The code in OnPaint is:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm3.SRichViewEdit1PaintPage(Sender: TObject; PageNo: Integer;
  PageRect, R: TRect; Canvas: TCanvas; Prepaint, Printing: Boolean);
var srv: TSRichViewEdit;
    pt: TPoint;
    FirstPageNo, LastPageNo: Integer;
    ItemRect: TRect;
begin
  srv := Sender as TSRichViewEdit;
  if Prepaint or (PageNo<srv.PageCount) then
    exit;
  pt.X := PageRect.Left + srv.LeftMargin100Pix;
  srv.GetItemBounds100(srv.RichViewEdit.RVData, srv.RichViewEdit.ItemCount-1,
    ItemRect, FirstPageNo, LastPageNo, -1);
  pt.Y := PageRect.Top+ItemRect.Bottom;
  Canvas.Pen.Color := clBlack;
  Canvas.Pen.Width := 1;
  Canvas.Pen.Style := psSolid;
  Canvas.MoveTo(pt.X, pt.Y);
  pt.X := PageRect.Right - srv.RightMargin100Pix;
  pt.Y := PageRect.Bottom - srv.BottomMargin100Pix;
  Canvas.LineTo(pt.X, pt.Y);
end;
Unfortunately, there is a problem. When you edit text, the component redraws only changed area. So, if document height is changed while editing, this line is not redrawn, or redrawn only partially.

A solution is calling UpdateBuffer in OnChange:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm3.SRichViewEdit1Change(Sender: TObject);
begin
 SRichViewEdit1.UpdateBuffer;
end;
But it means double redrawing on any change.

End of paragraph marks?
They are turned on when you include rvoShowSpecialCharacters in SRV.RVOptions. There is an action switching this flag, its button can be found on the toolbar of ActionTest demos.
