Discussion

The A5_HTML_MODELESS() function opens a generic modeless dialog containing an HTML editing control. They can be used as-is, but are particularly useful for use as embedded dialogs

This example opens the HTML editor shown in the picture below.

dim cc as C
cc = "A5_HTML_EDITOR() "
cc = cc + "A5_HTML_EDITOR() 
Syntax
"
cc = cc + "A5_HTML_EDITOR( Tabname as C, "

"
a5_html_modal(cc, "My Editor")
... do stuff
ui_modeless_dlg_close("My Editor")
