Markdown (Property)

In french: Markdown

The Markdown property is used to enable or disable Markdown formatting in the controls of a window or a report.

For the controls of a window, the Markdown property enables or disables the "Markdown support" option, which can also be found in the "UI" tab of the control description window. If this option is enabled, Markdown formatting applies only to the following elements of the control:

caption,
tooltip,
associated tokens (for an Edit control).

For a Static Text control in a report, the Markdown property is used to:

determine if a Static Text control of a report is of type Markdown.
set the type of a Static Text control in a report to Markdown.

Note: Markdown is an option available for Static Text controls in reports. This option can be found in the "General" tab of the control description.

Example

// If the "STC_Name" control is of type Markdown, it becomes visible
IF STC_Name.Markdown = True THEN
	STC_Name.Visible = True
END
