.NET Forum / Languages / VB.NET / October 2007Textbox text property with HTML facillities??
Hi Is there any way to make the textbox property show html, like a textarea on a webpage would?? I have a webapplication that saves an textarea complete with html tags and everything... Now i'm coding a windows application to work with the same data and i need these data to be displayed on an windows form, like they would on the webform... After data manipulation, i would need to return the data to the database in the same html format as it was originally... Any way to do this without having to code a html-txt-html parse function from scratch?? /Finn -- Der er 10 slags mennesker - Dem som forstår binær og dem som ikke gør. There are 10 kinds of people.

A textarea shows the html markup as a winforms textbox should do. What happens when you display your HTML markup inside a textbox. Do you mean you don't see any more your HTML tags ? Or do you mean you want the HTML to be rendered ? -- Patrice > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Es gibt 10 arten von menschen.

Hi patrice I would like to have the HTML code rendered to be shown in the textbox as it does on the rendered webpage. After editing, i want to rewrite the text to the database as html formatted text, to be rendered on a webpage at a later date as if everything had never been around an windows application and its textbox /Finn -- Der er 10 slags mennesker - Dem som forstår binær og dem som ikke gør.

You could use the webbrowser control to render HTML. I'm not sure which level of editing capabilities you would like to provide to your users (how won't they destroy possibly things when editing). So you would even need an HTML editing control depending on how compelx is the HTML code you are supposed to show them. AFAIK this can be done with IE that provides an editing mode (not sure if compatible with other browsers), or third party controls. I believe that latests Rich textbox controls allows also to handle HTML editing out of the box but this is perhaps those coming with WPF... --- Patrice >> Hi patrice >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > handle HTML editing out of the box but this is perhaps those coming with > WPF... Hi Patrice I will have a look at the WebBrowser contro and see if it can solve my problem... Excactly what i need is this.... I have the following in my database as a cell : Vedhæftet fil<BR><BR><B>Trin der allrede er fuldført:</B><BR>Uploaded<BR><BR><B>Valgte produkter:</B> - This data is put there by a webpage working with this data. It is however shown on the page in a textbox-like area rendered like it was regular html. After that box has been edited, the text is rewritten to the database in the same format... Now, i have tried the WebBrowser control and it can display the text okay, but i cannot edit the text in the window. Also i would need to return the webbrowser.document to the state above, in order to return the data to the database... /Finn -- Der er 10 slags mennesker - Dem som forstår binær og dem som ikke gør.

Die die binär verstehen bzw. die die es nicht tuhen I'm not sure what it means (this could perhaps help ?), actually I'm even sure to not understand ;-) For now I'm not sure which strategy you are trying to implement. I see basically 3 options : - editing the text "as if". This is simple but the user is exposed to html tags he might not known about - editing only the text. Then how to know which text should go back were ? It would be much easier if the parts were edited separately and the overall HTML would be constructed later from these pieces. The user would never be exposed to HTML but can't also change the style of a particular word - editing the rendered content as a whole but without the user having to know about HTML and in this case you need an HTML editing control (possbly third party) so that the user can change the text but also decide to use bold on one word or another with a UI wihtout having to know about HTML etc... I belive you are after topnio 3 in whihc case you could try : http://www.google.com/search?hl=fr&q=html+editing+control&meta= >>> Hi patrice >>> [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > Es gibt 10 arten von menschen.
