New - Gaussian Blur

Our optimized Gaussian Blur capabilities make it possible to create blurred and glowing text, as well as text with shadows. Use either the HTMLLabel's blur property or its custom <blur> tag. Blurred text is rendered behind the regular text, attributes allow the color and amount of blurring to be defined, as well as its relative position.

Use Standard HTML Tags To Format Text

The following screenshot demonstrates what can be achieved using the HTMLLabel and standard HTML tags: Styles such as bold, italic, underline and strike-through can easily be applied to text simply by embedding HTML tags within the control's Text property. In addition, one can use multiple <font> tags to specify different font faces, sizes and colors. The HTMLLabel ensures that all text sits vertically on the correct baseline, something which is not achieved by competing products. Note: When entering HTML, the Ampersand '&' character must be entered as &amp; Similarly, less than '<' and greater than '>' characters must be entered as &lt; and &gt;

Support for Superscript and Subscript

The HTMLLabel provides support for superscript and subscript via the <sup> & <sub> tags, these tags can even be nested to produce multiple sub/super-script levels.

Text Justification Options

The HTMLLabel supports left (default), right, center and fully justified text. Text justification can be specified when defining a paragraph or logical division via the <p> and <div> tags. Vertical alignment of the entire content can be specified using the control's VerticalAlignment property, options include top(default), center and bottom.

In-line Images

The HTMLLabel has support for images, both in-line and aligned to left or right edge. When specifying an image to display, the source location can either be file on the local system or an embedded image. Standard attributes can be used with the <img> tag, allowing the size to be specified as well as horizontal and vertical space around the image.

Multi-Color Gradients

Gradients can be applied to the background and also the control's text (only available when rendering text using GDI+, not when using GDI). A design-time gradient editor is available which allows developers to easily create multi-color linear gradients.
