The CaptionHTML property is used to handle the text of a control as HTML code.
Example
LIEN_CGV.LibelléHTML = "Afficher les <strong>conditions générales de vente</strong>"
Syntax

Retrieving the value of control caption Hide the details

<Result> = <Control to use>.CaptionHTML
<Result>: Character string
Control caption in HTML format.
<Control to use>: Control name
Name of field to be manipulated: Rich Text Area, Button, ...

Modifying the value of control caption Hide the details

<Control to use>.CaptionHTML = <New value>
<Control to use>: Control name
Name of field to be manipulated: Rich Text Area, Button, ...
<New value>: Character string
New caption for the control. This value must correspond to a valid HTML code.
Remarks

Static and HTML static

A field can have either a label or an HTML label: it cannot have both.. Assigning a value to the CaptionHTML property deletes the value of the text assigned with the Caption property and vice versa.
An error occurs if the Caption property is accessed in read-only mode and the text in the control is in HTML. However, reading the CaptionHTML property in a control whose caption has been assigned using the Caption property returns the value of the caption in HTML.
Summary table:
Property assigned in the control: CaptionProperty assigned in field: CaptionHTML
Property read: CaptionReturns the value.Error.
Property read: CaptionHTMLReturns the value encoded in HTML.Returns the value.

Validity of HTML code

No check is performed regarding the validity of HTML code. If an invalid HTML value is assigned in the control, the page may not be displayed properly by the browser. You must pay attention to:
  • The tags (and attributes) not properly closed or invalid for the HTML standard of the page (HTML 4, HTML 5, ...).
  • The encoding of special characters. You can use the TextToHTML function.
