Example
The following example shows how to format the BaseCheckEdit.Text using HTML tags. HTML formatting is enabled via the RepositoryItem.AllowHtmlDraw property. The image below shows the result:
checkEdit1.Text = "<size=14>Size = 14 <br/> <b>Bold</b> <i>Italic</i>
<u>Underline</u> <br/><size=11>Size = 11<br/> <color=255, 0, 0>Sample Text";
checkEdit1.Properties.AllowHtmlDraw = DefaultBoolean.True;
checkEdit1.Properties.Appearance.TextOptions.WordWrap = DevExpress.Utils.WordWrap.Wrap;
checkEdit1.Properties.Appearance.Options.UseTextOptions = true;
