Rich Text
In addition to the capability to embed plain text into your report (using the Label control), you may also want to display RTF or HTML content. To accomplish this, the Rich Text control allows you to perform extraction of RTF or HTML content from a defined database field, or load content from a file.
To load RTF or HTML content into the Rich Text control from a file, click its smart tag and in the actions list, select the Load File... link.
Then, in the Open dialog, use the drop-down list to define the file's extension (.rtf, .docx, .txt, .htm or .html), select the file, and click Open.
To bind the Rich Text control to a data field with RTF or HTML content, use the control's Rtf or Html properties.
The mail merge feature is fully supported for the Rich Text control, meaning that you can easily embed data fields and images into its content.
With the in-place editor of the Rich Text control, you can easily format parts of its content using the Ribbon - Font.
