SwatRichText

The object type SwatRichText is a control to add a rich text editor to a form. To add a rich text editor to a grid in a screen see SwatText.

This control can be used to add formatted text to any desired record. The text is stored in the Build.One database and the internal selfhdl (Build.One GUID) is used as the unique reference between the text and the record.

A SwatRichText can also be used to add formatted HTML-Content to an existing field in your database.
