.Net TextBox-like Control that Renders HTML
Hi.
Right now I''m using a RichTextBox control to display some dialog for an AI experiment I am doing (a Mafia game). I would like to have text writen by different speakers be printed in different colors and to have the option of Boldfacing or Italicizing text.
I know that the RichTextBox control supports this, but the format specifiers are a pain in the ass. I''d much rather have a control that I can send HTML code to and have it turn that code into colorful text. I don''t really care if it handles much else, though I suppose support for tables and images would be handy.
It seems like I could possibly use the InternetExplorer Control for this - if I use this control in my programs, do I have to distribute extra stuff, or will everyone already have it installed? Also the IE Control has much more crap in it than I really need.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a Control I could download that will do what I want?
It doesn''t sound to difficult to code, I might give it a try if no one has any helpful input. Maybe the easiest thing to do would be to make a new control that inherits from RichTextControl and add a HTML->RTF1.6 translation layer.
Help?

Maybe the MSHTML control is what you are looking for. There is an excellent example at http://www.itwriting.com/htmleditor
