We’ve got a character comment box the Configurator Designer. How can we get the text to wrap and be top left justified? Thanks!

@Mark_Wonsil - Good find!
@josecgomez - Thanks for making that video 5 years ago. It’s really interesting watching your thought process on how you figure this stuff out.

Any idea why Epicor locks up for 5 minute after every time I type “Infragistics” in the expression editor? It it intellisense, and can I turn it off?

You can do something this

Inputs.myTextBox.Control.Multiline = true;
/* One way to do it */
Inputs.myTextBox.LabelTextHAlign = Infragistics.Win.HAlign.Left; 
Inputs.myTextBox.Control.Appearance.TextVAlign = Infragistics.Win.VAlign.Top;

/* Another method */
Infragistics.Win.Appearance app = new Infragistics.Win.Appearance();
app.TextHAlign = Infragistics.Win.HAlign.Left; 
app.TextVAlign = Infragistics.Win.VAlign.Top;
Inputs.myTextBox.Control.Appearance = app;

I think that I learned from @SAD that the IDE is actually downloading the .dll and then parsing it in order to display auto-complete. It was a nice idea but the implementation is not performant - especially if you’re in the cloud. I would type those out in VSCode and paste them in because typing the ‘.’ is what starts the search.

@askulte - are you using an editor or character control?

Thanks guys!

@danbedwards - I’ll save that for next time. Thanks!
@Mark_Wonsil - Good idea. Will try that.
@ckrusen - Thanks! I think that may be it, and the super simple solution. Will check if we used Character, and if so, change it to Editor.
