HtmlPanel Control

You can use it just as an HTML container control, just place the panel on a form and feed the Text property with HTML code.
If AutoScroll is true and the layout of the html resulted in its content beyond the client bounds of the panel it will show scrollbars (horizontal/verticle) allowing to scroll the content.
If AutoScroll is false html content outside the client bounds will be cliped.
The control will handle mouse and keyboard events on it to support html text selection, copy-paste and mouse clicks.

Try the Sample Form to play with html panel control.

Remarks

Differences between HtmlPanel and HtmlLabel

The major differential to use HtmlPanel or HtmlLabel is size and scrollbars.
If the size of the control depends on the html content the HtmlLabel should be used.
If the size is set by some kind of layout then HtmlPanel is more suitable, also shows scrollbars if the html contents is larger than the control client rectangle.

• HtmlPanel has scrollbars support
• HtmlLabel can be autosized
• HtmlLabel can have transparent background
