Editor.Value Property (Exeditors)

The Value property specifies the value of the editor. The control displays the value based on the type of the control. The type of the control is determined by the EditType property. The ValueChanged event occurs when user changes the control's data.

If the EditType property is None, the control is able to use built-in HTML format like follows:

bold
underline
<s> ~~strikeout~~ </s>
italic
<fgcolor = FF0000> fgcolor </fgcolor>
<bgcolor = FF0000> bgcolor </bgcolor>
breaks a line.
<solidline> draws a solid line
<dotline> draws a dotted line
<upline> draws the line to the top of the text line
<r> aligns the rest of the text line to the right side.
text displays portions of text with a different font and/or different size. For instance, the bit draws the bit text using the Tahoma font, on size 12 pt. If the name of the font is missing, and instead size is present, the current font is used with a different size. For instance, bit displays the bit text using the current font, but with a different size.
& glyph characters as &amp ( & ), &lt ( < ), &gt ( > ), &qout ( " ), &#number, For instance, the &#8364 displays the EUR character, in UNICODE configuration. The & ampersand is only recognized as markup when it is followed by a known letter or a # character and a digit. For instance if you want to display bold in HTML caption you can use bold

Newer HTML format supports subscript and superscript like follows:

<off offset> ... </off> defines the vertical offset to display the text/element. The offset parameter defines the offset to display the element. This tag is inheritable, so the offset is keep while the associated </off> tag is found. You can use the <off offset> HTML tag in combination with the to define a smaller or a larger font to be displayed. For instance: "Text with <off 6>subscript" displays the text such as: Text with _subscriptThe "Text with <off -6>superscript" displays the text such as: Text with ^subscript

Also, newer HTML format supports decorative text like follows:

<gra rrggbb;mode;blend> ... </gra> defines a gradient text. The text color or <fgcolor> defines the starting gradient color, while the rr/gg/bb represents the red/green/blue values of the ending color, 808080 if missing as gray. The mode is a value between 0 and 4, 1 if missing, and blend could be 0 or 1, 0 if missing. The HTML tag can be used to define the height of the font. Any of the rrggbb, mode or blend field may not be specified. The <gra> with no fields, shows a vertical gradient color from the current text color to gray (808080). For instance the "<gra FFFFFF;1;1>gradient-center</gra>" generates the following picture:
<out rrggbb;width> ... </out> shows the text with outlined characters, where rr/gg/bb represents the red/green/blue values of the outline color, 808080 if missing as gray, width indicates the size of the outline, 1 if missing. The text color or <fgcolor> defines the color to show the inside text. The HTML tag can be used to define the height of the font. For instance the "<out 000000><fgcolor=FFFFFF>outlined</fgcolor></out>" generates the following picture:
<sha rrggbb;width;offset> ... </sha> define a text with a shadow, where rr/gg/bb represents the red/green/blue values of the shadow color, 808080 if missing as gray, width indicates the size of shadow, 4 if missing, and offset indicates the offset from the origin to display the text's shadow, 2 if missing. The text color or <fgcolor> defines the color to show the inside text. The HTML tag can be used to define the height of the font. For instance the "<sha>shadow</sha>" generates the following picture:

or "<sha 404040;5;0><fgcolor=FFFFFF>outline anti-aliasing</fgcolor></sha>" gets:

The following sample displays a simple caption:

With Editor1
    .EditType = EXEDITORSLibCtl.None
    .Value = "Just an <fgcolor=0000FF><b>HTML</b></fgcolor> caption."
End With
