History:
Pm9.00.00: Object name changed: PmiText -> PmgString
Pm8.03.23: Fixed bug: Editing in multiline mode.
Pm8.03.21: Improved font smoothing for big fonts (greater than 100px).
Pm8.03.10: Is now functional also for German localization setting of the Windows OS (where the number contains separator of thousands "period").
Pm8.02.06: Direct editing is now available (similar as in the PmgWEdit object). Before, it was possible to edit the value only by opening an extra window. See the "Type of editing" configurator.
Pm8.01.05: in the Web panel the "Value format type" configurator sometimes did not work if set to formatting rule of %f or %e.
Pm8.01.01: The Value property used to be of the String type, but now (according to the "Data type of entered value" configurator) returns the value of String, Integer or Float type. The old behavior can be activated in the "Always return String (obsolete)" configurator (the objects that are already existing will use the old setting so the behavior remains the same as before).
Pm8.01.00: new properties FontId and Multiline.
