This control allows you to display a long string of Rich Text Format (RTF) text that can't be fit on a page. A common example is showing a license agreement.

Note: This control's text cannot contain an embedded property. To display text with embedded properties, use the Text control instead.

This checkbox allows you to use an existing message ID, or create a new one for the file path listed in the Filename field above. This allows you to use define different language text files. To configure a localizable message file path, first make sure the Filename field is empty, then check the Translate checkbox which opens the Set Message ID dialog. Once you've created a new message, or selected an existing one, exit the dialog and click on the Browse button to select a file from your system. You now have a localizable file set for the control.
