Thanks for any help!

Hello,

Sorry to disappoint you but the answer is NO.  If I'm not mistaken there is an ActiveX control available for RTF. If you search for rtf on the LabWindows forum you might get some more information about this topic.

The Rich Text Box control is probably what you want. In the UIR editor, choose Create>>ActiveX and find "Microsoft Rich Text Box".

Hello Ian,

The Microsoft Rich Text box is not in the list. Am I missing something?

I am success to create a Rich Text Box with: Create ---> ActiveX ---> Microsoft Rich Text Box

Many thanks Ian for this help

Wim,

Such are the joys of ActiveX controls. They must be installed on the target machine (and the right version too!), so care must be taken when planning to distribute an app. In your case that ActiveX control is not installed on your development machine, hence it is not available.

I don't use that control due to the distribution-related issues, and I was not able to easily find where it comes from.  I presume it was part of Windows, IE or Office.

Can anyone out there tell us where the Microsoft Rich Text Box control comes from?
