Trying to do this conversion via the control isn't the right way to do
it. You need to operate on the underlying column object.

It seems you have some expectation that a richedit component is capable of
performing conversions....that's not the case. It is a container that
displays the stream given to it. If the stream is formatted as richtext,
the control by default will display it formatted. A richtext container
doesn't know how to format an html stream.

If you have written a function that can convert a richtext stream to html,
then you can call it in the OnSetText of the column. I don't know why you
think these methods are not available. Perhaps you have not hooked the
control to the column object? Consult the help for tib_column,
tib_columnblob and tib_columnmemo.
