Rich text edit

In order to define a rich text edit control, the control should be associated with an edit style. As default style for rich text edits, _boxedit_rtf is provided in the resource database after initializing GUI resources. In order to create, update or browse edit styles, one may select Objects/Styles/Edit.

For memo data types (large text references) a _BoxEdit_rtf control (ADK_FieldControl) is provided in the resource database. Rich text style controls are not assigned as default controls.

By default, line-wrap is enabled. In order to suppress line wrapping, the line-wrap option has to be switched off. When line wrap is switched on, horizontal scroll bars are not necessary. Vertical scroll bars should always be shown, when the text becomes to large to fit in the text area.

Rich text edit controls support multi-line edit actions, default edit actions, but also a number of text formatting and editing actions.
