Really daft noob question

[BaldPlumber]

Hi



I have a problem that I suspect is really simple to answer, but for the life of me, I can't find it.

I am designing a form that uses a few rich text format text boxes, which contain quite complex HTML formatting codes and multiple fields. My problem is, that when I make a mistake, which I often do, it is extremely difficult to edit the control as I can't see all of the code.

So, my question is, is there a way of displaying all of the code in expanded form so it is visible in its entirety?

Many thanks
Mike

Edit: I should add that my solution so far is to use cut and paste to notepad, which is a bit long winded.

change the textformat property of your form control from richtext to plaintext

You could use some code like this in you form control to toggle between the two views

Private Sub sometext_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)

    If sometext.TextFormat = 0 Then sometext.TextFormat = 1 Else sometext.TextFormat = 0
    
End Sub
