Rich text viewer control

The rich text viewer control provides the ability to view rich text formatting in a field with long description characteristics.

General properties

The rich text viewer control can be placed inside standard container controls, including sections, tabs, and tables.

Attribute name Description
Control ID

Each control in a presentation is assigned a unique Control ID that is read-only.

Label

If you enter a text value in this field, it overrides the Default Label for the control. This label is specific to the application and is not stored in the MAXATTRIBUTE or APPFIELDDEFAULTS tables.

Hide Label

By default, the label value always appears in the user interface. Select this check box to make the label invisible.

Attribute

You can associate this control with a database attribute. Not all attributes have a Default Label value.

Data Source ID

Specify a data source ID if you want this control to use a different data source than the parent. If the control is creating a data source and the Data Source ID property is not set, the ID defaults to the ID of the control. If the data source is blank, the control inherits the data source from the parent. If no parent controls have a data source specified or if the parent is the application, MAINRECORD is the data source because it is the primary data source for the application.

Width

You can enter a numeric value in this field to change the width of the viewer area.

Height

You can enter a numeric value in this field to change the height of the viewer area.
