How do I display HTML content correctly in RC

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi all,I need to display HTML content from an email HTMLBody (and RTFBody) in a cell in a Report Control.
Currently it shows all the tags and content, which is not what I want. I would like to show in the cell the content as HTML format.
I've played around with the ReportControl.EnableMarkup = true, but still doesn't work.
Actually, here's my VB6 code to set the properties:
    With ReportControl
        .AllowEdit = False
        .BorderStyle = xtpBorderThemedFrame
        .EnableMarkup = True
        .SetCustomDraw xtpCustomBeforeDrawRow
        .PaintManager.ColumnStyle = xtpColumnOffice2003
        .PaintManager.ForceDynamicMarkupForCell = True
    End With

And here's the code to add the record item:
    Set Item = Record.AddItem(RDOMail.HTMLBody)
    Item.Caption = "<TextBlock>" & RDOMail.HTMLBody & "</TextBlock>"

Nothing is working for me.

Any advice is welcome.

	EnableMarkup is for Codejock's subset of XAML, not HTML. There is no easy way to display HTML in a report that I can think of. You could create an HTML to XAML parser, but this would be no small feat (depending on what HTML tags you need to convert). If you could render your HTML and RTF to a picture, you could store the pictures in the ReportControl icons collection and then show those pictures using the reportcontrol, but I'm not sure how efficient this would be (if you have a lot of records, it might not be feasible).

	Hi jpbro, Thanx for your reply. I deferred to the email's Body property to show "only" plain text to the user in the RC. When the user dbl-clicks the row to view the details, that's when I can show them the HTML/RTF in an ActiveX object I have called rmpHTML.
