RichTextEdit control

A RichTextEdit control contains a document that it displays as
formatted text. It can include input fields that are linked to a
DataWindow control. When a DataWindow’s data is shared with the
RichTextEdit control, there is one instance of the document in the control
that can be displayed multiple times with different occurrences of row
data. Input fields whose names match columns in the DataWindow are filled
with data from the current row.

RichText editors

You can select from the rich text editors supported by Appeon
PowerBuilder. The selected rich text editor will be applicable to the
RichTextEdit control, the RichText DataWindow object, and the RichText
edit style. For more information about the rich text editors, see the section called “Rich text editors” in Application Techniques; and
for feature difference of the rich text editor, see the section called “Feature difference between TX Text Control (64-bit) and
Microsoft RichEdit Control (64-bit)” in Application Techniques.

Using with animation features

RichTextEdit controls may not paint correctly when you use
animation features.

ControlCharsVisible	Boolean	Specifies whether control characters (carriage returns, spaces, and tabs) are visible. Values are: TRUE — Control characters are visible. FALSE — Control characters are hidden.
DisplayOnly	Boolean	Specifies whether users can make changes to the content. Values are: TRUE — The content, including text and input files, is protected (the user cannot edit it). FALSE — The user can edit the content.

You have to manually put the control into Drag mode by using the Drag function.
DragIcon	String	Specifies the name of the stock icon or the file containing the icon you want to display when the user drags the control (the ICO file). The default icon is a box the size of the control. When the user drags the control, the icon displays when the control is over an area in which the control can be dropped (a valid drop area). When the control is over an area that is not a valid drop area, the No-Drop icon displays.

Limitation with the new control: For the new control, this property will not take effect until you save the data into a PDF file or print the data; which means, when you preview the UI in the design view or when you run the UI, you will always see the background color is gray, only when you run the UI and save the data to a PDF file or print the data, you will see the background color is changed to what you set.
InputFieldNamesVisible	Boolean	Specifies whether input field names are displayed in input fields, rather than the input field values. Values are: TRUE — Input fields display their names. FALSE — Input fields display their data.

FALSE — Ruler bar is hidden. If the RichTextEdit pop-up menu is enabled, the user can use it to turn ruler bar display on and off (see the PopMenu property).

SelectedTextLength	Long	Specifies the length of text you want to highlight in a selected text string. Typically you use this property to obtain the length of a misspelled word that is flagged after passing the selected text string to a supported ActiveX spell checker control.
StatusBar	Boolean	Specifies whether a status bar is visible below the editing area. Values are: TRUE — Status bar is visible. FALSE — Status bar is hidden. If the pop-up menu is enabled, the user can use it to turn the status bar display on and off (see the PopMenu property).
TabOrder	Integer	Specifies the tab value of the control within the window (0 means the user cannot tab to the control). Note that because a RichTextEdit allows tabs within its content, the user cannot tab away from the control.

TextSize	Integer	Specifies the point size of text in the control.
ToolBar	Boolean	Specifies whether a tool bar for formatting text is visible above the editing area. Values are: TRUE — Tool bar is visible. FALSE — Tool bar is not visible. If the pop-up menu is enabled, the user can use it to turn tool bar display on and off (see the PopMenu property).
TopMargin	Long	Specifies the width of the top margin on the printed page.

VScrollBar	Boolean	Specifies whether the RichTextEdit control has a vertical scroll bar. Values are: TRUE — A scroll bar displays. FALSE — A scroll bar does not display.
Weight	Integer	Specifies default text weight formatting for the control. Maintained for forward compatibility with PowerBuilder .NET. In PowerBuilder applications, use the Bold check box on the Font tab of the Properties view to set bold text weight formatting at initialization.
Width	Integer	Specifies the width of the control, in PowerBuilder units.
WordWrap	Boolean	Determines whether large blocks of text that do not contain spaces wrap automatically to the next line when the line reaches the margin. Values are: TRUE — Automatic word wrap is enabled. FALSE — Automatic word wrap is disabled. Users cannot enter characters beyond the right margin, and must move the cursor to a new line to continue entering text. If an inserted document contains a block of text too large to fit on a line, the nonfitting characters are hidden. Limitation with the new control: For the new control, this property is always true (even when it is set to false, it is treated as true).
