Remarks

Use the HtmlBox control included with PowerWEB TextBox for .NET to replace the TextBox control within your web application to provide advanced HTML editing. The HtmlBox control uses the MS DHTML engine to enable WYSIWYG-style editing within a browser. The HtmlBox control renders an IFRAME, associated tables to provide an "editor" interface, and the necessary JavaScript to perform the editing actions.

For introductory steps and tutorials on using the HtmlBox in a web application, see either of the topics Using PowerWEB in VS.NET or Using PowerWEB in WebMatrix.

Basic Configuration

Once a project is created, the HtmlBox is provided with default display settings (for more information, see the HtmlBox constructor topic). This default configuration can be modified one of two ways:

Using the Properties Builder. Open the properties builder by right-clicking the HtmlBox in the designer and choosing "Properties". This opens a configuration application which can be used to customize the look and configuration of the HtmlBox.
Using Code. Within code (such as in your code-behind page) the editor can easily be configured by setting properties and calling methods. For example, easily create a toolbar configuration by using the HtmlBox.Clear method to clear the existing configuration and the HtmlBox.AddToolbarItem to quickly add new items to the toolbar. Look and feel of the editor can be easily customized as well. For example, to set the styles of all buttons, set the properties of the HtmlBox.ButtonStyles object.

For more information about configuration, see the topic Configuring the Editor.

Advanced Customization

The HtmlBox allows highly advanced customization, enabling a developer to create complex client-side objects such as custom windows-style dfialog boxes with only a few lines of code. For more information about this see the topic Advanced Customization.
