Multiline EpiTextBox

[system]

Ok. I tried that and I was still having the same issue. I pin-pointed the problem: when I click inside the text box (even though it is read-only) I am entering EditMode. I set up an event trigger for the text box for EnterEdit mode and wrote some text to the box after the event and it confirmed my problem. I just need to be able to set the textbox back to multiline after entering edit mode and it should work fine.

I have a text box that I want to display an address in and am using ascii code for the character return. I have it populating on the event trigger EpiViewNotification -> NotifyType.Initialize. It works fine initially but when you click inside the textbox it ignores the character return and/or returns the textbox settings to single line. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Drew

[system]

I'm doing this from memory, but I remember I had the same problem. Don't use ascii codes for the character return, instead use ~n as the new line character. Its a OpenEdge 4GL coding convention.

~{Â Â Â =Â {
~nnn = single character where nnn is an octal value between 000 and 377
~t    = Tab
~r    = Carriage return
~n    = New line / line feed
~EÂ Â Â Â = Escape
~b   = Backspace
~f    = Form Feed

This customization is on the form. I've tried it in the string but it still won't recognize it. Am I supposed to include it in the string?

Yes, it should look something like this:
Control.Text = "Line one~nLine Two"

Again, I am doing this from memory and I don't think I've done this from a form customization, only from a BPM that droped it directly into the field. So maybe it won't work in a customization. Have you tried inserting a chr(10) & chr(13) or the reverse chr(13) & chr(10)? Is the text box set to multiline?

I tried chr(13) and it didn't work but then I tried chr(10) and it worked when the EpiViewNotification event triggered it but when I clicked inside the textbox it is almost looked like it reset the multiline to single line. In the properties for the textbox I have it set to multiline.

Did you try both a chr(10) and chr(13)?

By themselves yes. I noticed that if I set the property value of the Textbox "Enabled" to false I don't have any issues. Might be a temporary bandaid. Or alternatively I could dump the text into a label - I just am not sure on how I can align the text to the upper left of the label.

No, I meant together. Like "Line one" & chr(10) & chr(13) & "Line two".
