RichTextBox

The RichTextBox control provides a Text Editor for rich (formatted) text. Font styles and Paragraph formatting are supported.

To enter or edit a single line, or multiple lines of plain text, use the TextBox control instead.

Properties

The key properties of a RichTextBox control include:

• Font. Selects the font of the text to be displayed in the RichTextBox control.

• Multiline. Determines whether the RichTextBox control contains multiple lines of text or just a single line.

• Text. Used to add the text that will be displayed in the control for editing.

• TextLength. Determines the maximum length of the text that can be entered in the control.

• WordWrap. Determines whether the text in a multi-line control automatically wraps to the beginning of the next line where necessary.

Events

Key events that can be configured for the RichTextBox control include:

• Layout. Determines what occurs when the control should reposition its child controls (e.g. because a user has resized the form).

• Leave. Determines what occurs when the user switches focus to outside of the control.

• LinkClicked. Determines what occurs when a user clicks on a link within the control text.

For information on configuring events and other components of the design using a script, see: Working with Scripts.

Adding a RichTextBox

When you drag a RichTextBox control to a form in the Flow Designer, use the control properties to select the Edit Text Lines... option.

This will open the String Collection Editor in which you can enter any text to be displayed for the user in the control.

Click OK to return to the control.

The properties and events for the RichTextBox control can be configured using the Properties pane.

Information on the properties for the RichTextBox control is available at the link to Microsoft® Documentation.
