An HTML editor object inserts a standard text editor into your screen. For more information on HTML editors, take a look at our documentation on the topic.
Settings
- Caption: The name for your object. Used for display on screen and to uniquely identify the object within actions.
- Hide Caption: If you’re just labeling your control for your own information but don’t want the text to show in the live screen, check this box.
- Load State: The initial state when the screen loads.
- Default Value: This is the text that initially appears inside the input box.
- Height: The initial height of the input box. Specified only in pixels (px).
- Hide Status bar: The text editor has a status bar at the bottom defaulted to hidden, but you can unhide it if you want to.
- Width: How wide should your control be in relation to its container. For more information, check out Styling Basics.
