The RichTextBox control

The RichTextBox control can be used with any Sharepoint text field, but it order to unlock all its features you have to bind it to a textbox defined with multiple lines of text. It automatically recognizes the type of text allowed with the rich textbox field and enables or disables the features available for use, as shown below:

Multiple line of Text columns with Plain Text mode selected, the RichTextBox control renders as a simple TextBox with no additional options to format text.

For Rich text mode, the control renders with the appropriate toolbar options available :

For Enhanced rich text columns, the control displays all the available toolbar options.

Any of the available options can be used.

The RichTextBox does not support lookup data loading.

ValueChangeMode

Values : TextChange, LostFocus, None

The ProgressBar control

To connect the progress bar with a numeric control, the Progress bar should be declared as Calculated.

The calculation formula should be FieldValue(“Control_Name”) where Control_Name is the name of the numeric control that passes the value. In our example FieldValue(“c_Percentage”).

When the field in the calculation formula is numeric it is safer to declare it in Us locale so that it has the same locale with Sharepoint, and all the possible calculations will be completed in the same format
eg. nnus(FieldValue(“c_Percentage”)).

The Progress bar control has the following properties:

Property : MinimumValue
Numeric, indicates the minimum value for the progress bar

Property : MaximumValue
Numeric, indicates the maximum value for the progress bar

Property : Decimals
Numeric, set the number of decimals for the value, default is 0.

Property : TextMode
Values :

None – It will show nothing on the progress bar

Percentage – It will show percentage on the progress bar after calculating it with min and max values

Value : Shows the actual value of the control

You can set the properties by using the control’s Extra Configuration field.
