The HTML Edit control: The automation formatting toolbar
Overview
In HTML Edit controls, a formatting toolbar can be automatically displayed when the control becomes editable. Formatting options are then automatically managed.
How to?

Enabling the formatting toolbar for HTML controls

To enable the formatting toolbar for HTML controls:
  1. Open the description of an HTML Edit control. The Edit control must be of type "HTML text".
  2. On the "General" tab, indicate whether the control uses an HTML toolbar:
    Selecting the display mode of the formatting toolbar
    The "Toolbar settings..." button is used to select toolbar options..
  3. Validate.

Feature available in AAF

In an HTML Edit control, the HTML toolbar is always visible or is automatically displayed (depending on the option selected in the "General" tab of the control description window).

Font used by default in the HTML toolbar

At runtime, the HTML toolbar is initialized with the font, size and font attributes specified in the control description. This font can be modified programmatically with the font properties.
