..CaptionHTML is used to handle a control caption in HTML code format.
Example
LINK_GSC..CaptionHTML = "Display the <strong>general sales conditions</strong>"
Syntax

Retrieving the value of control caption Hide the details

<Result> = <Control to use>..CaptionHTML
<Result>: Character string
Control caption in HTML format.
<Control to use>: Control name
Name of control to use: Rich Text Area, button, ...

Modifying the value of control caption Hide the details

<Control to use>..CaptionHTML = <New value>
<Control to use>: Control name
Name of control to use: Rich Text Area, button, ...
<New value>: Character string (with quotes)
New caption for the control. This value must correspond to a valid HTML code.
Remarks

Static and HTML static

A control includes a caption or an HTML caption: it cannot include both at the same time. The assignment of ..CaptionHTML deletes the value of the caption assigned by ..Caption (and conversely).
An access in read-only to ..Caption while the control caption is an HTML caption triggers an error. On the contrary, reading ..CaptionHTML while the control caption is assigned by ..Caption returns the caption value encoded in HTML.
Summary table:
Property assigned in the control: ..CaptionProperty assigned in the control: ..CaptionHTML
Property read: ..CaptionThis option returns.Error.
Property read: ..CaptionHTMLReturns the value encoded in HTML.This option returns.

Validity of HTML code

No check is performed regarding the validity of HTML code. If an invalid HTML value is assigned in the control, the page may not be displayed properly by the browser. You must pay attention to:
  • The tags (and attributes) not properly closed or invalid for the HTML standard of the page (HTML 4, HTML 5, ...).
  • The encoding of special characters. You have the ability to use TextToHTML.
