It’s already there. Check out VEE 7.5, Devices->Windows Forms controls.  Pick either RichTextBox (like Notepad) or Textbox (like the formula object).  Click the red-triangle on either of those controls, and you will be directed to their corresponding example programs.

Yes that would be a very good feature to be able to change the data in the Notpad dynamically. This would be a good addition to Vee 8.0

The best way is to use the built in Rich Text box which is part of Visual basic. This will do multi lines as well as differrent fonts and colors. Of course since this is part of Visual Basic you will need to have that installed on the developement machine so that you can create an instnce of this. There is an expample in vee 7.0 in the examples section under Active X controls. If you do not have Visual basic installed though you can view the example and run it but you will not be able to create a new text box.Â
