Description

The RichTextEdit control displays a multi-line text-box with word-processing menus at the top.

In order to begin entering text, you must first decide what kind of text to enter. You have to choose a format from the "Format" combobox. Changing the format will change the look and feel of all the text in the box.

At the top-left of the Control is a small button with a black triangle on it. If the menus are visible and you click the button, the menus collapse. Otherwise, they expand. At any time, you can click the B or I icons to toggle bold or italic text. Click the eraser to untoggle both together.

To change the bold or italic properties of existing text, simply highlight the text (click and drag over it) and click the appropriate icon.
