Creating a Word Processing control To create a Word Processing control: - On the "Creation" tab, in the "Graphic controls" group, expand "Office" and click "Word processing".
- Click at the desired location to create the control.
Note: The dimensions of the control are optimized to take up the available space at the specified position. If you are not happy with the size of the control, press Ctrl + Z key to restore the control to its default size. To view the characteristics of the control, select "Description" in the context menu. Characteristics of Word Processing control The "General" tab in the description window of the Word Processing control proposes the following options: - Initial document: Indicates the initial document displayed in the Word Processing control.
- Edit options:
- Toolbar management: you can choose whether or not to display a Word Processing control toolbar. The available options are as follows:
- None: The field will not display any toolbars..
- Ribbon: Field manipulation options are grouped together in a ribbon..
- Mini toolbar: Field manipulation options will be grouped together in a mini toolbar.
- Ribbon source FI / Mini toolbar source FI In the case of a ribbon or mini toolbar, this parameter specifies whether the display should be customized or not. The available options are as follows:
- "None": the default ribbon (or mini toolbar) will be used.
- "Predefined window": the default ribbon (or mini toolbar) can be customized.
To do so, select "Customize". In this case, an internal window is automatically added to your project, in the WDAAF internal component. This internal window can be modified as required. This window contains all the code required to manage the Word Processing control. It is recommended to check for UI errors and make sure the window works properly after any change is made.
If you use the ribbon , the "IW_WINDEVAAF_WPRibbon" window is added.
If you use the mini toolbar, the "IW_WINDEVAAF_WPBar" window is added. - Internal project window: If your project contains internal windows, you can use one of these windows to propose a specific ribbon or mini toolbar.
Any internal window of your project can be used to create this bar.
You can also apply the project skin template. - Allow change of document (Open, New, etc.) Adapt ribbon to allow user to manipulate external documents. This option is used to display the "New", "Open" and "Save" buttons of ribbon. If this option is checked, the document opening and backup must be performed by the application.
Note: This option is not taken into account if the ribbon is fully customized (with an internal application window, for example). - Limit the edit to simplify the HTML export Adapts ribbon and document display to show only options taken into account by HTML export. If this option is checked:
- the following options are not available:
- Management of headers and footers,
