Historically, Windows Forms controls never allowed you to emphasize portions of their text. For instance, you couldn't apply bold formatting to a few words within a label text.

With version 2008 vol 2, we have added this capability to our Label, Check Editor and Grid Control (for column and band headers). You can now specify captions for these elements using HTML-style markup - using the following tags: <br>, <color>, <size>, <b>, <i> and <u>.
