HTML Edit Control

[Russell Coombes]

Hi,

I need to create a form similar to the 'New Mail' form used in Outlook. Therefore, in order to dsplay the main contents of the Mail, I need a TextBox that is able to display HTML content *AND* allow the user to be able to type into that content which will modify the HTML source that is bound to the TextBox.

I have looked at the HTMLUIControl supplied by Syncfusion, but it seems to be about managing HTML *without* offering the user the ability to type directly into the Control text, and therefore, to edit the contents of the rendered HTML directly.

Could anyone please suggest how this might be done using the existing Syncfusion suite of controls?

Thanks!

Regards,
Russell

HI,

It seems that I've found the answer myself by looking in another forum.

The HTMLUIControl does not allow editing, so this is not going to work in any possible solution.

However, if *basic* editing is required, then the Essential Edit package can be used, and then the contents can be read from the control as HTML.

The following link has details about this:

If anyone else has any further information about this then I'd still appreciate any details you have.

Russell

Hi Russell,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

With the HTMLUI control , the users can access the HTML elements individually at runtime and they can even change the text.

Please refer the shipped sample from the location below that demonstrates the same and let me know if this helps you.
