F. van Daalen | Just replaced my Intraweb based with webbuilder. Was very easy because
it was a very simple website (1 text page with a image carousel). Some questions: - How do you place text on a page? I was using tlabel but large text in a caption is not that easy/simple. So switched to disabled MultiLineEdit but could not remove the borders. Is there something like a tlabel but with a lines property? - Used the background setting of the timage to have images on the page but learned very quickly that that would bring the editor to its knees if those images are large. So switch to use the url settings, however now I don't see the images during designing? - Is it possible to include HTML tags in text? if not how can you have bold etc within text? Frans |

Uli Becker | Frans,
I can't see what's wrong with a TLabel. If you want to display larger texts you can use the wordwrap property. The layout options will allow you to position your labels properly. Uli |

It will make editing multi-line captions easier. 2.02 will see some general improvements to the caption/font property editors. << So switched to disabled MultiLineEdit but could not remove the borders.

The TLabel control has complete alignment, auto-sizing, wrapping, etc. << - Used the background setting of the timage to have images on the page but learned very quickly that that would bring the editor to its knees if those images are large. >> That's because it has to save the image as a base-64-encoded string so that it can be packaged in the HTML loader file. << So switch to use the url settings, however now I don't see the images during designing? >> That's correct. Images in TImage controls are visible only at runtime. << - Is it possible to include HTML tags in text? >> No. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

<< if not how can you have bold etc within a text? >> If you're trying to display a block of HTML, then you can use the TBrowser control, and just assign an HTML document to it using the DocumentText property: Browser1.DocumentText:='<!doctype html><html><body>This <b>is</b> a test</body></html>'; Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
