B4J Question Text Area editor

[cstangor]

How can I show in B$J a text area editor that allows bold, italic, etc. (much like the editor I am using to create this post).

Thanks in advance.

I've never did but take a look in HTML Editor (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/editor.htm).

Thanks Alexandre... this seems very good although I don't have much of an idea of how to integrate it into B4J.

Could anyone give me guidance on how to implement this code? (Tutorial maybe?)

Thanks again:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.web.HTMLEditor;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class HTMLEditorSample extends Application {

@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
stage.setTitle("HTMLEditor Sample");
stage.setWidth(400);
stage.setHeight(300);
final HTMLEditor htmlEditor = new HTMLEditor();
htmlEditor.setPrefHeight(245);
Scene scene = new Scene(htmlEditor);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}

Thanks.

This code is java, you don't need to add. Just add the view to your Layout.

Sweet! Thanks again Alexandre.

OK, one more question. The editor returns HTML. Do we have a function that converts HTML to formatted text that we can put in, say, a label?

A Label cannot show formatted text.

Use WebView instead of Label.

WebView1.LoadHtml(HTMLEditor.HtmlText)
