Title: cr/lf in a RichEdit Control
Post by: tbohon on November 07, 2008, 11:35:11 AM
OK, I am admittedly a bit slow this week - busy, busy, busy at work - but for the life of me I can't get a simple cr/lf inserted into a RE control.

Can someone take pity on a poor confused old man and straighten me out on this?  ;D

Tnx.

Tom

Hello Tom ..  :)

I don't know if this is what you're after .. of course just pressing the Enter key during user text input does the same thing ..  ;)


def w:WINDOW
def wstyle:int
def a:string

wstyle = @SIZE|@MINBOX|@MAXBOX

WINDOW w,50,50,800,600,wstyle,0,"Window Title",main
SETWINDOWCOLOR w,RGB(0,0,90)

CONTROL w,"B,Exit,(800-80)/2, 500, 80, 40, 0, 1"

control w,"RE,,(800-300)/2,100,300,200,@CTEDITMULTI|@CTEDITRETURN,2"
SETCONTROLCOLOR w, 2, 0, rgb(0,160,200)

setcontroltext w,2,"This is a very" + chr$(10) + "long line."

WAITUNTIL w = 0

END

SUB main
SELECT @CLASS
case @IDCLOSEWINDOW
closewindow w
' clicking the Exit button ...
case @IDCONTROL
select @CONTROLID
case 1
closewindow w
endselect
endselect
RETURN



best wishes, :)

The chr$(10) was about the only thing I didn't try ... was looking for a predefined constant, tried chr$(13)+chr$(10) ...

Thanks, Graham - appreciate it.

My mother's version of that (when she had bypass surgery in her mid 70s) was
"Getting old is not for sissys"

Either way is true!
