Formatting for RichText objects within the DataWindow
object
Each type of object in a RichText DataWindow object has its own
dialog box. When you select Properties from the pop-up menu, the
dialog box you get depends on what is selected.
Properties and Control List views
The Properties and Control List views are not available for
RichText DataWindow objects. The painter uses the same property
sheets as are available to users when they run the DataWindow
object, and controls in RichText DataWindow objects cannot be
manipulated in the same way as in other DataWindow objects.
Most of the objects in a RichText DataWindow object correspond
to familiar objects like bitmaps, columns, and computed fields. You
can also specify formatting for a temporary selected text object. In a
RichText DataWindow object, the objects are:
-
The whole document
-
Selected text and paragraphs
-
Input fields (associated with columns or computed
fields) -
Pictures
This section describes how to select each type of object and
access its dialog box. The user can access the property sheets too if
you enable the Popup Menu option on the Rich Text Object’s General
dialog box.
