1.7 Adding Word-Processing Capabilities to Your Application with FreeTextBox
The default HTML TextBox and TextArea controls allow your users to write text and upload it to your application. That’s about where the functionality stops. Your users can’t use different fonts or colors, create bulleted lists, add images, and so on. But there may be plenty of times when your users will want to do these things (for example, when adding documents to a document management system, sending emails, or adding comments to a blog).
FreeTextBox is an HTML editor that can easily be integrated into your applications. It gives your users a lot of the word-processing functionality they have become accustomed to, including the ability to:
Adjust font styles, colors, and sizes
Insert hyperlinks
Insert images
Use numbered and bulleted lists
Change paragraph alignments
FreeTextBox includes both a Design view and an HTML view, so users who are familiar with HTML can directly edit the HTML.
