A RichTextEdit control contains a document that it displays as formatted text. It can include input fields that are linked to a DataWindow control. When a DataWindow's data is shared with the RichTextEdit control, there is one instance of the document in the control that can be displayed multiple times with different occurrences of row data. Input fields whose names match columns in the DataWindow are filled with data from the current row.
RichText editors
You can select from the rich text editors supported by Appeon PowerBuilder. The selected rich text editor will be applicable to the RichTextEdit control, the RichText DataWindow object, and the RichText edit style. For more information about the rich text editors, see the section called “Rich text editors” in Application Techniques; and for feature difference of the rich text editor, see the section called “Feature difference between TX Text Control (64-bit) and Microsoft RichEdit Control (64-bit)” in Application Techniques.
